Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Average minutes of weekday moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity measured using an Axivity AX3/AX6 accelerometer at baseline (Term 5/6 of Year 4) and on three follow-up occasions from Terms 1-6 in Year 5, determined by the stepped wedge design.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Pupil average total volume of weekday physical activity measured using an Axivity AX3/AX6 accelerometer at baseline (Term 5/6 of Year 4) and on three follow-up occasions from Terms 1-6 in Year 5, determined by the stepped wedge design 2. Pupil average minutes of weekday sedentary time measured using an Axivity AX3/AX6 accelerometer at baseline (Term 5/6 of Year 4) and on three follow-up occasions from Terms 1-6 in Year 5, determined by the stepped wedge design 3. Pupil average minutes of weekday light physical activity measured using an Axivity AX3/AX6 accelerometer at baseline (Term 5/6 of Year 4) and on three follow-up occasions from Terms 1-6 in Year 5, determined by the stepped wedge design 4. Pupil average minutes of weekend moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity measured using an Axivity AX3/AX6 accelerometer at baseline (Term 5/6 of Year 4) and on three follow-up occasions from Terms 1-6 in Year 5, determined by the stepped wedge design 5. Pupil wellbeing measured using the Stirling Children’s Wellbeing Scale at baseline, midpoint (Terms 1-3) and final measurement (Terms 5-6), determined by the stepped wedge design 6. School-level termly attendance rates for the Year 4/5 cohort, from school records measured every term from baseline (Year 4, Term 4) to end of study (Year 5, Term 6)
