Summary

This project is a prospective cohort study to evaluate the impact of after-school extended physical education services on the visual health, physical health indicators, and mental health of children and adolescents participating in these services over a one-year period. The study collected data on the participation rate, duration, activity content, and organisational form of the after-school extended hours service through a questionnaire; the demographic characteristics, sleeping habits, and dietary habits of the participants through a self-administered questionnaire on the multidisease behaviour of children and adolescents; the intensity of the activities of the students who participated in the after-school extended hours service was investigated through an accelerometer and a physical activity questionnaire; and data on students\' visual acuity, body mass index, and mental health status were collected through a medical check-up. Students' visual acuity data, body mass index, maximum oxygen uptake, and other indicators of physical health and mental health were collected through physical examination, and data on changes in one year were collected through half-yearly/follow-up visits to establish a cohort to evaluate the effects of after-school extended hours services on students' myopia rates, physical health and mental health levels by different types, intensity and duration of exercise.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

after-school extended sports service

Impact of voluntary participation in different types (e.g. outdoor physical activities, indoor physical activities, ball games, calisthenics, etc.), intensity and duration of after-school extended physical education services on children\'s myopia and other physical and psychological well-being

BEHAVIORAL

non-after school extended sports service

Students in the same grade as the exposure group but participating in after-school non-physical education extended services (e.g., homework help, static activities such as calligraphy, chess, etc.) served as a control group, aiming to maximise the control of the influence of potential factors other than physical activity on the results of the study.
