Study Protocol: The Jerte Valley as an Inclusive Outdoor Classroom. Smart and Active Tourism.

May 19, 2026 updated by: Noelia Mayordomo, Universidad de Extremadura
To promote the inclusion of people with disabilities, an outdoor intervention will be conducted involving physical activities with adolescents with and without disabilities. The study will be designed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a control group that will not participate in these activities, and will include three time points (pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up). The study will assess sociodemographic, accessibility, socio-emotional, and group cohesion variables.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Not yet recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Estimated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
35

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 12 -16 years
  • Enrollment in public schools and special education centers
  • Informed consent signed by tutors

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have health issues that prevent them from participating in physical activity or pose a safety risk to participants
  • Not having a signed informed consent

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Active tourism
Participants in the experimental group will attend an informational session on disability and take part in an interactive workshop where they will experience the challenges and sensations faced by people with disabilities to empathize with them and understand their reality.Subsequent to this workshop, participants will engage in a series of activities, beginning with whitewater rafting, followed by canyoning, and concluding with kayaking. These activities are designed to be inclusive, accommodating individuals both with and without disabilities. Following workshops and activities based on smart and active tourism, the personal experiences of people with and without disabilities will be shared, fostering a dialogue that further enhances the understanding of the reality faced by people with functional diversity.
Other: Rafting, canoeing and kayaking

Other: Divulgation, not intervention
Students will participate in a workshop on disability awareness. The workshop will be the same for this group and the group participating in outdoor physical activities. During the workshop, students will learn about disabilities and experience a simulation using eye masks and tongue depressors to simulate visual and speech impairments.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Perception of accesibility (Physical and Social Accessibility Scale)
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of one month
This scale measures perceptions of accessibility in one's environment, focusing on physical and social aspects and considering how social interactions and inclusion influence daily life. A Likert scale ranging from 1 ( "extremely inaccessible") to 5 ( "extremely accessible ") was used to measure these perceptions.
Through study completion, an average of one month
Perception of group cohesion (Group Environment Questionnaire)
Time Frame: Through study completion, average of 1 month
Assesses the perceptions of group cohesion. This questionnaire includes factors related to personal attraction to group tasks, personal motivation toward the social group, engagement in group tasks, and group-social unity.
Through study completion, average of 1 month
Perception of attitudes towards inclusion (AISDPE)
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of one month follow up
This scale consists of 17 items divided into two dimensions: cognitive perception (seven items) and behavioral intention (ten items). The scores were determined using a Likert scale ranging from 1 ("strongly disagree") to 5 ("strongly agree").
Through study completion, an average of one month follow up

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
