Brief Summary

The clinical trial aims to develop and pilot test a multilevel physical activity (PA) intervention called the Hoosier Sport program. The study follows a participatory co-design protocol involving youth, parents, and community leaders to provide direct input into the intervention's design. The ultimate goal is to contribute to health equity in the community by promoting sustainable physical activity. Hoosier Sport involves delivering enhanced physical education classes, teaching about nutrition and exercise, as well as developing leadership skills in middle school rural students.The intervention will last for 8-weeks with PE classes occur twice a week. Additionally, Hoosier Sport will create more opportunities for students to be active at school (e.g., in home room) through providing virtual classes and other activities.

  HR will be taken at week 0 and week 9 before and following the 6-minute walk test.

• Blood Pressure of Participants

  BP will be taken at week 0 and week 9 before and following the 6-minute walk test.

• Basic Psychological Needs of Participants in Intervention Environment

  Assessed at week 0 and week 9

Study Arms (2)

Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in the intervention arm will receive the Hoosier Sport intervention 2-3 times a week (twice in PE class, and once in home room). This will involve learning new sport, exercise, and nutrition knowledge, as well as developing leadership skills.

Behavioral: Hoosier Sport

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Participants in the control arm will not receive the Hoosier Sport intervention.

Interventions

Hoosier Sport BEHAVIORAL

Hoosier Sport is a sport-based youth development intervention. The intervention targets physical activity levels, exercise and nutrition knowledge, and leadership skills. The intervention is delivered in person twice a week (Tue/Thu) during PE class. Each class lasts 45-minutes, and covers sport skills, and then a brief lecture and activity on exercise/nutrition/leadership skills. Additionally, once a week Hoosier Sport is delivered virtually (via Zoom) during home room for 20-minutes. This involves activities to allow the students to be active during the school-day.
