Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of the LifelongU intervention in habit, automatic affective evaluation and physical activity among university students. The main questions aim to answer are:

• What is the difference in habit, automatic affective evaluation and physical activity between the intervention and control groups?
• What is the difference in habit, automatic affective evaluation and physical activity between the before and after intervention? Participants will attend 12 sessions of four modules that performed face-to-face physical education lessons. Lesson content included 10-min health-related fitness knowledge, 30-min fitness test and training, 50-min motor skill training with behavior change techniques (90 min per a lesson, once a week). Researchers will compare control group to see if any effect difference.

Conditions

Physical Inactivity; Sedentary Behavior

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Physical Activity

  Using \[Global Physical Activity Questionnaire\]: the minimum time are 0 minutes per a day and maximum time are 1440 minutes per a day, and higher scores mean a better physical activity level.

  Assessments will be conducted at baseline (after the screening), 6th week after the baseline, 12th week, and 16th week.

• Habit

  Using questionnaire \[Physical activity self-report habit index\]: This is a 12-item questionnaire answered on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (Strongly disagree) to 7 (Strongly agree), with higher scores indicating stronger habit strength.

  Assessments will be conducted at baseline (after the screening), 6th week after the baseline, 12th week, and 16th week.

• Association Affective Evaluation

  Using \[Single-Category Implicit Association Test\]: the minimum value is 0 and maximum values is 5, and higher scores mean a positive affective attitude.

  Assessments will be conducted at baseline (after the screening), 6th week after the baseline, 12th week, and 16th week.

Interventions

LifelongU BEHAVIORAL

The LifelongU intervention is an abbreviation name from LifelongU: Cultivating Physical Literacy for University \& Beyond. "LifelongU" is a unique and coined term that symbolizes the program's commitment to promoting physical literacy as a lifelong journey. It combines the words "Lifelong" and "University" to represent an intervention that focuses on physical literacy development not only during the university years but also throughout a person's entire life. The name is designed to convey the idea that physical literacy is an asset that will benefit individuals in all aspects of life, even after they leave the university.
