Combined Physical Activity and Education Intervention for Neck and Shoulder Pain in Children
21 de junio de 2026 actualizado por: Li Sha
Effects of Physical Activity and Education Interventions on Neck and Shoulder Pain, Lifestyle Factors, Psychological Factors, and Quality of Life Among Primary School Children in Shijiazhuang, China
Neck and/or shoulder pain is increasingly reported among school-aged children and may affect their physical activity, daily life, psychological well-being, and quality of life. This study aims to evaluate the effects of a school-based physical activity and education intervention on neck and/or shoulder pain and related health outcomes among primary school children in Shijiazhuang, China.
Participants will be primary school children aged 10 to 12 years. They will be allocated to one of four groups: a physical activity group, an education group, a combined physical activity and education group, or a control group. The intervention will last for six weeks. The physical activity intervention will include structured game-based activities and neck-shoulder exercises, while the education intervention will include health education related to posture, screen use, physical activity, and pain prevention.
The study will assess changes in neck and/or shoulder pain, pain intensity, physical activity, sedentary behavior, sleep quality, psychological factors, quality of life, and physical activity enjoyment before and after the intervention.

Intervención / Tratamiento |
|---|---|
|
Experimental: Physical Activity Group
Participants in this group will receive a six-week school-based physical activity intervention.
The intervention will include structured game-based physical activities and neck-shoulder exercises, delivered three times per week.
|
Each intervention session lasted for 70 minutes, conducted three times per week over a six-week period.
Each session consisted of a 5-minute warm-up, 30 minutes of structured, game-based moderate-intensity PA, 30 minutes of targeted training for NSP, and a 5-minute cool-down.
The intervention ensured appropriate PA volume and intensity for children.
It was also designed to maintain high participation levels.
|
|
Experimental: Education Group
Participants in this group will receive a six-week health education intervention focusing on posture, screen use, physical activity, and prevention of neck and shoulder pain.
The education sessions will be delivered twice per week.
|
The educational intervention in this study lasted for six weeks, with two sessions per week, each lasting 30 minutes, for a total of 12 instructional sessions.
The content of the intervention was designed based on the principles of engagement, interactivity, and developmental appropriateness, with a central focus on enhancing primary school students' PA and promoting their physical and mental well-being.
The curriculum covered topics such as PA knowledge dissemination, correct posture education, reduction of sedentary behaviour, and motivation for behavioural change.
|
|
Experimental: Combined Physical Activity and Education Group
Participants in this group will receive both the six-week physical activity intervention and the six-week health education intervention.
|
Participants in this group will receive a six-week combined physical activity and health education intervention.
It is consistent with the intervention content of along physical activities and alone education.
|
|
Sin intervención: Control Group
Participants in this group will continue their usual school activities and routine physical education classes without receiving the additional physical activity or health education intervention.

Pain intensity
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline and 6 weeks after intervention
|
Pain intensity will be assessed using an 11-point Numeric Rating Scale, ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain.
Participants with neck and/or shoulder pain will report their highest pain intensity during the recall period.

Prevalence of neck and/or shoulder pain
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline and 6 weeks after intervention
|
Neck and shoulder pain will be assessed using items adapted from the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire.
Participants will report whether they have experienced neck and/or shoulder pain during the past month.
The prevalence of neck and shoulder pain will be calculated as the proportion of participants reporting neck pain and/or shoulder pain.

Physical activity level
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline and 6 weeks after intervention

PA was assessed using the Chinese version of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-CN), originally developed by Kowalski, Crocker, and Donen (2004) and translated and revised by Guo (2016).
The PAQ-CN is a self-administered retrospective PA questionnaire designed for children and adolescents aged 7 to 18 years.
It assesses general levels of PA over the previous 7 days through 10 items, each reflecting different activity dimensions during a typical week.The final PAQ-CN score ranges from 1 to 5. PA Level Classification: Based on the final PAQ-CN score, participants are classified into three PA levels:1) Low PA level: PAQ-CN ≤ 2.00 2) Middle PA level: 2.00 < PAQ-CN ≤ 3.003) High PA level: PAQ-CN > 3.00
