dc.description.abstract | Background: Physical activity (PA) has been shown to decline during adolescence, and those with lower education
have lower levels of activity already at this age, calling for targeted efforts for them. No previous study has demonstrated
lasting effects of school-based PA interventions among older adolescents. Furthermore, these interventions have rarely
targeted sedentary behaviour (SB) despite its relevance to health. The Let’s Move It trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness
and the cost-effectiveness of a school-based, multi-level intervention, on PA and SB, among vocational school students.
We hypothesise that the intervention is effective in increasing moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA),
particularly among those with low or moderate baseline levels, and decreasing SB among all students.
Methods: The design is a cluster-randomised parallel group trial with an internal pilot study. The trial is conducted in six
vocational schools in the Helsinki Metropolitan area, Finland. The intervention is carried out in 30 intervention classes, and
27 control classes retain the standard curriculum. The randomisation occurs at school-level to avoid contamination and to
aid delivery.
Three of the six schools, randomly allocated, receive the ‘Let’s Move It’ intervention which consists of 1) group sessions
and poster campaign targeting students’ autonomous PA motivation and self-regulation skills, 2) sitting reduction in
classrooms via alterations in choice architecture and teacher behaviour, and 3) enhancement of PA opportunities in
school, home and community environments. At baseline, student participants are blind to group allocation. The trial is
carried out in six batches in 2015–2017, with main measurements at pre-intervention baseline, and 2-month and
14-month follow-ups. Primary outcomes are for PA, MVPA measured by accelerometry and self-report, and for SB,
sedentary time and breaks in sedentary time (accelerometry).
Key secondary outcomes include measured body composition, self-reported well-being, and psychological variables.
Process variables include measures of psychosocial determinants of PA (e.g. autonomous motivation) and use of
behaviour change techniques. Process evaluation also includes qualitative interviews. Intervention fidelity is monitored. | |
