PE Audit and Feedback for Increasing Physical Activity in Kids
Trial Summary
Do I need to stop taking my current medications to join the trial?
The trial protocol does not specify whether participants need to stop taking their current medications.
What data supports the idea that PE Audit and Feedback for Increasing Physical Activity in Kids is an effective treatment?
The available research shows that providing feedback and information can significantly increase physical activity in children. For example, in a study where students received feedback on their step counts and additional information on how to increase their steps, they achieved more steps per minute compared to those who only received feedback or no feedback at all. This suggests that the PE Audit and Feedback Tool, which likely includes similar elements of feedback and information, can effectively boost physical activity levels in kids.12345
What safety data exists for the PE Audit and Feedback Tool for increasing physical activity in kids?
The provided research does not directly address safety data for the PE Audit and Feedback Tool. However, it includes studies on physical activity interventions in children, such as the 'Kids in Action' study, which reported both beneficial and adverse effects on physical activity and motor skills. The 'Everybody Energise' trial and other studies focus on increasing physical activity but do not specifically mention safety outcomes. Therefore, specific safety data for the PE Audit and Feedback Tool is not available in the provided research.46789
Is the treatment in the trial 'PE Audit and Feedback for Increasing Physical Activity in Kids' promising?
What is the purpose of this trial?
School physical education (PE) is one of the most valuable tools for increasing physical activity and fitness among youth of all backgrounds; however, compliance with existing PE laws is low (and differential by school race/ethnic and family-income composition, contributing to health disparities), and best practices for increasing compliance remain unknown. This study proposes to examine a novel approach for increasing PE law compliance by testing a PE audit and feedback tool (adapted from a tool used by the New York City Department of Education) in Oakland, California schools to determine the effectiveness, adaptability, and scalability of this potential cost-effective approach for increasing PE law compliance and student physical activity.
