Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Current primary outcome measures as of 18/03/2024: 1. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CF) will be measured using the Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) at four time points (pre-test, halfway after 3 months, post-test, 3 months follow-up) with a 3-month interval. 2. Fundamental movement skills will be measured using The Canadian Agility and Movement Skill Assessment (CAMSA) at four time points (pre-test, halfway after 3 months, post-test, 3 months follow-up) with a 3-month interval. 3. Physical activity engagement levels will be measured using Accelerometer (Actigraph GT3X+) at four time points (pre-test, halfway after 3 months, post-test, 3 months follow-up) with a 3-month interval. 4. Cognitive functioning will be measured using the psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) test, AX Continuous Performance Task (AX-CPT), and N-back test at four time points (pre-test, halfway after 3 months, post-test, 3 months follow-up) with a 3-month interval. Previous primary outcome measures: 1. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CF) will be measured using the Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) at baseline, 7th and 10th month. 2. Fundamental movement skills will be measured using the Canadian Agility and Movement Skill Assessment (CAMSA) at baseline, 7th and 10th month. 3. Physical activity engagement levels will be measured using an accelerometer (Actigraph GT3X+) at baseline, 7th and 10th month. 4. Cognitive functioning will be measured using the psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) test, AX Continuous Performance Task (AX-CPT), and N-back test at baseline, 7th and 10th month.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Current secondary outcome measures as of 18/03/2024: 1. Physical literacy will be measured using the Perceived Physical Literacy Instrument (PPLI) at four time points (pre-test, halfway after 3 months, post-test, 3 months follow-up) with a 3-month interval. 2. Health-related quality of life will be assessed using the Child Health Utility 9-Dimensions (CHU9D) at four time points (pre-test, halfway after 3 months, post-test, 3 months follow-up) with a 3-month interval. 3. Sleep quality will be measured using Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale (PDSS) at four time points (pre-test, halfway after 3 months, post-test, 3 months follow-up) with a 3-month interval. Previous secondary outcome measures: 1. Physical literacy will be measured using the Perceived Physical Literacy Instrument (PPLI) at baseline, 7th and 10th month. 2. Health-related quality of life will be assessed using the Child Health Utility 9-Dimensions (CHU9D) at baseline, 7th and 10th month. 3. Sleep quality will be measured using the Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale (PDSS) at baseline, 7th and 10th month.
