Brief Summary

Movement integration programs that incorporate physical activity into academics are widely available for teachers to use, and have been shown to provide meaningful amounts of physical activity, improve on-task behavior, enhance cognitive function, and increase standardized test scores of children. However, teachers rarely use these programs. This project aims to use product testing and development methodologies to test current movement integration programs, identify critical attributes of those programs that hinder or enhance uptake by teachers, and develop a novel movement integration program based on those attributes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in Use of Movement Integration Strategies (Mean Per Day)

  Change in self-reported use of movement integration strategies per day. Teachers will complete a weekly log of movement integration product implementation. To complete the log, each teacher will log onto a password-protected website. Teachers will indicate the number of MI product uses per day. If teachers fail to complete the log they will receive an email reminder.

  5 school days (Data was averaged across the 5 days) at baseline (teachers did not have the movement integration product) and outcome (one week following baseline when teachers were provided the movement integration product)

Study Arms (1)

Test of Existing MI Products

EXPERIMENTAL

We will test the impact of three widely available MI products (GoNoodle, Take10, ABC for Fitness) on students' physical activity with 60 elementary classroom teachers.

Behavioral: Test of Existing MI Products

Interventions

Test of Existing MI Products BEHAVIORAL

Three widely available MI products (GoNoodle, Take10, ABC for Fitness) will be tested by teachers in their classrooms. Teachers will participate in the study for four weeks (one baseline week, one week for each product).
