Brief Summary

This randomized control trial evaluates the physical activity component of the Family Lifestyle Overweight Prevention Program compared to physical education class as usual among Hispanic middle school students.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Weekday moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA)

  weekday (Monday-Friday) minutes/day of MVPA over time assessed with accelerometry

  six months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Weekend moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA)

  six months

• standardized BMI (zBMI)

  six months

Study Arms (2)

FLOW-PA

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants received the physical activity component of FLOW five days a week during participants' 45-minute long physical education (PE) class period for six months. Intervention activities were designed to promote moderate-vigorous physical activity through circuit-based stations with both aerobic and strength exercises. Trained research staff partnered with PE teachers to facilitate lessons and undergraduate college students were trained to complete activities with participants.

Behavioral: FLOW-PA

PE class as usual

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants had PE class as usual 5 days a week for 45 minutes.

Behavioral: PE class as usual

Interventions

FLOW-PA BEHAVIORAL

Classes were designed to provide the opportunity to be physically activity at a moderate-vigorous level. Each station included exercise options to accommodate varying fitness levels and offer students choice. Heart rate monitors provided consistent biofeedback to students throughout the intervention. Participants were evaluated based on the number of minutes they spent each class between 60-80% of their maximal heart rate. Games were intermixed either as a station or as a break in the circuit (e.g. short game of tag half-way through the workout) to make physical activity enjoyable and engaging.

FLOW-PA

PE class as usual BEHAVIORAL

PE teachers were instructed to teach class as usual. Research staff were not involved in class activities or instruction. In this school district PE class as usual includes sports-based instruction in which students learn the rules to games and then practice playing.
