Study Summary
Juniors and seniors will be recruited to participate in the study, which will begin in the fall 2016 and run through May. The intervention will be a randomized-controlled trial, where students are randomized to either a control or incentive condition. Physical activity will be automatically tracked throughout the study period using FitBit activity trackers wirelessly linked to the gaming application on students' Chromebooks or mobile phones. Students who achieve 30 minutes of MVPA during the school day and/or 60 minutes of MVPA over the entire day will receive in-game rewards moving them up leaderboards in the game, providing them with more game points, or allowing them access to more game elements. Baseline outcome measures will be collected at the beginning of the school year in the fall, and post-intervention outcome measures will be collected in May.
Primary Outcome
The primary measurement tool for physical activity will be the use of FitBits to quantify the number of minutes students are moving each day, and the number of steps they are taking. Even the most basic FitBits capture steps, distance, minutes people are active each day, and intensity of activity. They are then able to wirelessly sync with the study database and gaming application (intervention condition) or tracking application (control condition), so accounting for activity will be automatic.
Interventions
- DEVICE FitBit
- BEHAVIORAL gaming application to encourage physical activity
