Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Participant’s body mass index (BMI) was calculated based on their height and weight, measured across three occasions in each of the conditions: Pre-Baseline, Post 1 (6-weeks after Pre-Baseline) and Post 2 (4-weeks after Post 1) in the control condition; Pre-Baseline, Post 1 (5-weeks after Pre-Baseline) and Post 2 (4-weeks after Post 1) in the intervention condition 2. Participant’s physical activity level was measured objectively with GENEActiv accelerometers across three occasions in each condition: Baseline (1-week after Pre-Baseline), Post 1 (4-weeks after Baseline) and Post 2 (4-weeks after Post 1). Participant’s physical activity level was also measured subjectively with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire across four occasions in each condition: Pre-Baseline, Baseline (1-week after Pre-Baseline), Post 1 (4-weeks after Baseline) and Post 2 (4-weeks after Post 1) 3. Participant’s leisure-time physical activity participation was measured with a Leisure-Time Questionnaire across four occasions in each condition: Pre-Baseline, Baseline (1-week after Pre-Baseline), Post 1 (4-weeks after Baseline) and Post 2 (4-weeks after Post 1) 4. Participant’s attitudes, intentions, subjective norms and perceived behavior control towards leisure-time physical activity were measured with a questionnaire based on the constructs from the theory of planned behavior across four occasions in each condition: Pre-Baseline, Baseline (1-week after Pre-Baseline), Post 1 (4-weeks after Baseline) and Post 2 (4-weeks after Post 1) | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Participant’s prioritized intention, determination and willingness to engage in the other activity to vigorous physical activity during their leisure-time was measured with a questionnaire, measured at Pre-Baseline in both the control condition and intervention condition 2. Participant’s goal conflict and facilitation were assessed through a questionnaire, measured across four occasions in each of the condition: Pre-Baseline, Baseline (1-week after Pre-Baseline), Post 1 (4-weeks after Baseline) and Post 2 (4-weeks after Post 1). 3. Participant’s age and gender and their family’s socio-economic status were measured with a questionnaire, measured at Pre-Baseline in the control condition 4. Physical education teachers’ fidelity of the interventions was evaluated by researchers based on a checklist in every PE lesson during the 4-weeks intervention phase | — |
