Summary

Currently, 10 million children participate in afterschool programs (ASPs) each day, and ASPs provide a great opportunity to enhance children's health outside of the regular school environment, particularly given the decline in physical education. This proposed, randomized cluster, controlled trial will examine the immediate (pre- to post-test) and sustained (1-year post-intervention follow-up) effects of CHAMP-ASP on physical activity (primary outcome), motor performance, perceived motor competence, health-related physical fitness, and weight status. CHAMP-ASP will be implemented by ASP staff and will be conducted in ASPs located in Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor, Michigan. Children (N = 264; CHAMP-ASP=132 and control=132) K-2 graders (typically ages 5-8 years) will participate 35 minutes/day X 3-4 days/week for 19 weeks (dose of 1995 - 2240 minutes). The aims are to: a) examine the immediate and sustained effects of CHAMP-ASP on physical activity, motor performance, and perceived motor competence relative to the control ASP, b) examine the immediate and sustained effects of CHAMP-ASP on secondary health outcomes - health-related physical fitness (cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength), and weight status compared to children in schools randomized to control ASP, and c) determine if perceived motor competence mediates the effect of CHAMP-ASP on moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.

Conditions

  • Physical Inactivity

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Motor Skills Intervention

The behavioral motor skill intervention (CHAMP) is an intervention strategy that uniquely address differences in children's development. CHAMP does not equate to a "one size fits all" approach. Children will be in an environment that promotes opportunities for them to development improvement in motor skills based on their specific individual needs and choices. The CHAMP intervention promotes a mastery climate that allows each individual child to be successful and learn while promoting intrinsic motivation and autonomy. CHAMP consists of 35 minutes/day X 3-4 days/week for 19 weeks (dose of 1995 - 2240 minutes). Each session will consist of three parts: (a) 3-5 min of motor skill introductory activity, (b) 25 min of motor skill instruction and practice, and (c) 3-5 min motor skill closure activity.
