Testing the Effects of Music on Short and Long Term Psychological Outcomes and Step Counts in Children
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate whether asynchronous music can improve outcomes of an 8-week long sport based youth development program. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does music increase step count during each lesson?
* Does music create a larger improvement in affective valence, arousal, and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) during each lesson?
* Does music create a long term improvement in enjoyment, commitment, and intrinsic motivation to exercise?
* Does music show more improvement among sedentary participants versus active participants? Researchers will compare the results from the experimental group, which is exposed to music, to the control group, which is not exposed to music.
Participants will:
* Participate in the sport based youth development program, Hoosier Sport, during their school's physical education class once a week for 8 weeks.
* Respond to 3 questions regarding affective valence, arousal, and RPE before and after each lesson.
* Complete a detailed survey regarding basic demographics, their music preferences, enjoyment of exercise, motivation to exercise, commitment to exercise, and current activity levels before the intervention.
* Complete the same sections regarding enjoyment of exercise, motivation to exercise, and commitment to exercise at a mid and end point of the intervention.
