Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Current primary outcome measure as of 27/10/2021: 1. Average daily minutes spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) measured using 7-day accelerometer data at baseline and 12-month follow-up _____ Previous primary outcome measure as of 10/08/2021: 1. Number of schools and children recruited, randomly allocated and retained at 12-month follow-up measured using recruitment data, attendance registers and interviews. 2. Assessment of the feasibility and acceptability of the evaluation design and methods for a future full-scale trial measured using interviews and focus groups post intervention 3. Assessment of intervention fidelity (delivery) measured using teacher logbooks, attendance registers and session observations during intervention delivery 4. Assessment of intervention acceptability to children (girls and boys), parents, school staff and role models measured through interviews and focus groups post intervention 5. Assessment of the feasibility of conducting an economic evaluation in a future full-scale trial using a pilot cost consequence analysis, testing pupil self-reported outcomes measures (Child Health Utility-9D (CHU-9D) and EQ-5D-Y) post intervention _____ Previous primary outcome measure: Average daily minutes spent in moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) measured using 7-day accelerometer data with children aged 8-10 years

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Current secondary outcome measures as of 27/10/2021: 1. Number of schools and children recruited, randomly allocated, and retained at 12-month follow-up measured using recruitment data, attendance registers, and interviews post-intervention and at 12 months 2. Assessment of the feasibility and acceptability of the evaluation design and methods for a future full-scale trial measured using interviews and focus groups post-intervention 3. Assessment of intervention fidelity (delivery) measured using teacher logbooks, attendance registers, and session observations post-intervention 4. Assessment of intervention acceptability to children (girls and boys), parents, school staff, and role models measured through interviews and focus groups post-intervention 5. Assessment of the feasibility of conducting an economic evaluation in a future full-scale trial using a pilot cost consequence analysis, testing pupil self-reported outcomes measures (Child Health Utility-9D (CHU-9D) and EQ-5D-Y) at baseline and 12 months 6. Assessment of sedentary time and time spent at different physical activity intensities within specific segments (e.g. during the club, after school, or at weekends) measured using 7-day accelerometer data at baseline and 12-month follow-up _____ Previous secondary outcome measures as of 10/08/2021: 1. Average daily minutes spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) measured using 7-day accelerometer data 2. Assessment of sedentary time and time spent at different physical activity intensities within specific segments (e.g. during the club, after school or at weekends) measured using 7-day accelerometer data at baseline and 12-month follow-up _____ Previous secondary outcome measures: 1. Sedentary time and time spent at different PA intensities within specific segments (e.g. after school or at weekends) measured using 7-day accelerometer data at baseline and 12-month follow-up 2. Number of schools and children recruited, randomly allocated and
