Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Current primary outcome measures as of 17/03/2017: 1. Attention, working memory, associative learning, processing speed and executive function is measured using the computerized CogState battery at the baseline and at the 3 months 2. Brain functions by magnetoencephalography (MEG) in a subsample of participants taking part in sub study investigating the effects of acute high intensity interval training on cognition and brain functioning. Previous primary outcome measures: 1. Attention, working memory, associative learning, processing speed and executive function is measured using the computerized CogState battery at the baseline and at the 3 months 2. Reading and arithmetic skills are measured using pseudo word reading and KTLT tests, respectively, at the baseline and at the 3 months 3. Brain functions by magnetoencephalography (MEG) at baseline and 3 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Current secondary outcome measures as of 17/03/2017: 1. Cardiorespiratory fitness is measured using maximal cycle ergometer test with respiratory gas analyses at baseline and 3 months 2. Physical activity is measured using PA-3D accelerometer, the Youth Physical Activity Questionnaire and the Youth Sedentary Behaviour questionnaire at baseline and 3-months 3. Sleep length and quality is measured using the Epworth sleepiness scale and Basic Nordic Sleep Questionnaire at baseline and 3 months 4. Arterial stiffness is measured using an Arteriograph at baseline and 3 months 5. Motivation is measured using a questionnaire developed by Professor Niemivirta in the 2002 study "Motivation and performance in context: The influence of goal orientations and instructional setting on situational appraisal and task performance" at baseline and 3 months 6. Self-efficacy is measured using a questionnaire developed by Professor Niemivirta in the 2002 study "Motivation and performance in context: The influence of goal orientations and instructional setting on situational appraisal and task performance" at baseline and 3 months 7. Depression is measured using the 21 item Beck Depression Scale at baseline and 3 months Previous secondary outcome measures: 1. Cardiorespiratory fitness is measured using maximal cycle ergometer test with respiratory gas analyses at baseline and 3 months 2. Physical activity is measured using PA-3D accelerometer, the Youth Physical Activity Questionnaire and the Youth Sedentary Behaviour questionnaire at baseline and 3-months 3. Sleep length and quality is measured using the Epworth sleepiness scale and Basic Nordic Sleep Questionnaire at baseline and 3 months 4. Arterial stiffness is measured using an Arteriograph at baseline and 3 months 5. Adiposity
