Brief Summary

The study aimed to introduce gamified physical fitness training in health education with the goal of enhancing physical activity levels and assessing its feasibility within a small-scale context involving 11-12-year-old children.

Conditions

Physical Activity Levels

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• physical activity levels

  PA levels were measured in minutes spent on daily steps, total physical activity (TPA), light physical activity (LPA), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and daily step counts using AI-wireless sensors attached to participants' wrists.

  week 0

• Learning Self-Efficacy

  Learning Self-Efficacy Scale (LSES) contains 18 items scored on a 5-point Likert scale with 4 items reversely scored. The total score of LSES ranges from -6 to 66, with higher scores reflecting higher LSE.

  week 6

• physical activity levels

  PA levels were measured in minutes spent on daily steps, total physical activity (TPA), light physical activity (LPA), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and daily step counts using AI-wireless sensors attached to participants' wrists.

  week 12

• Learning Self-Efficacy

  Learning Self-Efficacy Scale (LSES) contains 18 items scored on a 5-point Likert scale with 4 items reversely scored. The total score of LSES ranges from -6 to 66, with higher scores reflecting higher LSE.
