Summary

The study is a prospective study to examine the impact of a school-based physical activity intervention on fourth and fifth grade elementary students' academic achievement, as measured by standardized test scores.

  • Physical Activity

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Intervention Arm

The physical activity intervention consists of: 1. School Engagement and Assessment - Based on the customized assessment, training is provided for school staff to develop the capacity to increase PA. A school PA team is established. 2. Training - School teams are provided with ongoing in-person and virtual training to learn strategies for increasing PA before and during the school day. A training summit meeting will occur each summer, starting with the summer prior to the intervention. Teams will create a weekly calendar of activities to increase PA time to a minimum of 40 mts/day. 3. PA Equipment and Resources - After training, schools are provided with PA equipment, resources and teaching aids to facilitate the integration of PA into the school day. 4. Ongoing Assessment and Technical Assistance - Student accelerometer data will allow for monitoring of PA levels, so that additional technical assistance for classroom teachers can be provided if needed
