Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Mean minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) per day is measured using an accelerometer at baseline and during weeks 13-15 of when the intervention is running.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Mean minutes of sedentary time per day is measured by accelerometer at baseline and during weeks 13-15 of when the intervention is running. 2. Autonomy will be assessed using the Action 330 scale at baseline and during weeks 13-15 of when the intervention is running. 3. Competence will be assessed using the Action 330 scale at baseline and during weeks 13-15 of when the intervention is running 4. Relatedness will be assessed using the Action 330 scale at baseline and during weeks 13-15 of when the intervention is running 5. Enjoyment will be assessed using the Action 330 scale at baseline and during weeks 13-15 of when the intervention is running 6. Self-esteem will be assessed using the Self Description Questionnaire at baseline and during weeks 13-15 of when the intervention is running 7. Subjective well-being and health related quality of life will be self-reported using KIDSCREEN-10 and Child Health Utility 9D scores at baseline and during weeks 12-15 of when the intervention is running 8. Body Mass Index (BMI) Standard Deviation Score (SDS) is calculated from height and weight measurements at baseline and during weeks 12-15 of when the intervention is running 9. Participant and programme costs are measured using during the intervention period by resource logs (intervention group only) for the duration of the 15 week intervention period
