Club Fit: Physical Activity and Healthy Eating at an After School Program

June 15, 2017 updated by: Mark L Wieland, Mayo Clinic

Club Fit: Pilot Testing of a Physical Activity and Healthy Eating Intervention at a Boys & Girls Club After School Program

Background: Youth from low-income and minority families are disproportionately affected by obesity and its complications. This study presented pilot work to develop and implement a multi-component physical activity and healthy eating intervention at a Boys & Girls Club (BGC) after school program.

Methods: Using a community-based participatory approach, BGC staff and academic researchers developed intervention components informed by formative studies and based on a social ecological theory framework. Components included healthy eating and physical activity policy implementation, staff training, a challenge/self-monitoring program for healthy behaviors, a peer-coaching program for healthy behaviors, and a social marketing campaign. Preliminary intervention efficacy was assessed through a single group, pre-post study design with measured collected at baseline and 6 months.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in self-efficacy
Time Frame: baseline, 6 months
Self-efficacy was assessed with a survey adapted from instruments developed for the Patient-centered Assessment and Counseling for Exercise plus Nutrition program for low-income, ethnically diverse adolescents. It was scored on a 10-point Likert scale from 1 (not at all confident) to 10 (extremely confident).
baseline, 6 months
Change in motivation
Time Frame: baseline, 6 months
Motivation for physical activity was scored on a 10-point Likert scale from 1 (not at all motivated) to 10 (extremely motivated).
baseline, 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in body mass index
Time Frame: baseline, 6 months
For body mass index (BMI), weight was measured to the nearest 0.1 kg using a single scale. Height was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm using a stadiometer. BMI was calculated as weight (kg)/height squared (m2).
baseline, 6 months
Change in physical activity
Time Frame: baseline, 6 months
The Kinetic Activity Monitor accelerometer was used for objective physical activity assessment. Participants were asked to wear the accelerometer at their waist during waking hours for 10 consecutive days. The accelerometer was activated and data collected without providing feedback to participants. A valid assessment required 5 days of wear for at least 10 hours a day. Data output included sedentary time and time spent performing mild, moderate, and vigorous physical activities.
baseline, 6 months
Change in dietary quality
Time Frame: baseline, 6 months
Dietary assessment was performed with the Beverage and Snack Questionnaire 2. The instrument was adapted to include nine items (on a 7-point Likert scale) that addressed consumption of fruits, vegetables, and sugar sweetened beverages. The Likert scale ranged from "never or less than 1 per week" to "4+ per day." The greater number of fruits and vegetables, and fewer number of sugar sweetened beverages were considered a positive change in dietary quality.
baseline, 6 months
