Middle School Physical Activity Intervention for Girls
Specific aims are:
- Evaluate the feasibility of the intervention related to (1) girls' participation; (2) adherence to protocols; and (3) user and provider (nurse and PA Club instructors) satisfaction.
- Explore if participants in the intervention group, compared to those in the control group, show improvement in the primary outcome of minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA; measured by accelerometer), and also secondary outcomes of self-report of MVPA, cardiovascular fitness, body mass index, percent body fat, and waist circumference at 6 months.
- Explore if the primary outcome is mediated by cognitive (perceived benefits of PA, perceived barriers to PA,PA self-efficacy, social support, norms, models) and affective (enjoyment of PA) variables.
- Explore if participants in the intervention group, compared to those in the control group, have greater minutes of MVPA at 7 months.

Ages Eligible for Study
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Genders Eligible for Study
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
(1) 6th-grade girls (ages 10-12) (7th-graders if needed; up to and including age 14) who report not meeting national MVPA recommendations; (2) available and willing to participate 6 mos.; and (3) able to read, understand, and speak English (e.g., school nurse checks that girl is reading at grade level or enrolled in remedial course).
Exclusion criteria:
(1) Involved in school or community sports or other organized PAs or lessons, such as dance, martial arts, gymnastics, or tennis, that involve MVPA and require participation 3 or more days/wk. during every season of the school year; and (2) a health condition limiting or precluding safe MVPA.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Other: attention control
Sessions with school nurse to discuss health-promoting topics and after-school health-promoting workshop.
Physical activity and healthy eating were not addressed.
|
Both the "Girls on the Move" intervention and attention control conditions will involve 2 components: face-to-face (individual) counseling sessions with a school nurse and an after-school (group) program.
The intervention for the attention control group will not address physical activity.
Both groups will respond to questionnaires at 0 (baseline) and 6 mos.
Our "Girls on the Move" intervention is designed to help girls achieve physical activity recommendations (≥ 60 min.
≥ 5 days/wk.).
The motivational, individually tailored counseling sessions with a school nurse and after-school physical activity club (3-5 times a wk.
for 6 mos.) are designed to positively influence all cognitive and affective mediating variables of the Health Promotion Model.
