About this trial

This pilot study aims to test the feasibility and acceptability of a previously developed and tested physical literacy (PL) intervention. A promising and internationally tested intervention, the Youth Physical Activity Towards Health (Y PATH), is based on the theory of PL and has proven to be effectful on children's PA levels and motor skills The Promoting Pupils' Physical Literacy (3 PL) project aims to test the feasibility and acceptability of the previously developed and tested Y-PATH intervention in a Danish context among a pupils (9 11 years of age). The hypothesis is that a revised 3 PL intervention protocol, aiming to increase pupils' PL, is ready for effectiveness testing by the end of this project.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Acceptance rate

Percentage of invited schools participating.

Time frame
6 months
2

Success of intervention implementation in PE lessons

Three observations during physical education lessons (PE) that assess the acceptability of the intervention. Also, PE teachers will receive a weekly questionnaire to assess whether they have used the intervention materials in their PE lessons.

Time frame
11 months
3

Success of intervention implementation in school systems

Qualitative interviews with school managers and teachers will be undertaken to detect perceived positive or negative effects on organization and how the intervention fits within the school culture.

Time frame
11 months
4

Success of intervention implementation for pupils

Qualitative interviews with pupils will be undertaken to understand their experiences of the PE lessons.

Time frame
11 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Physical literacy (preliminary effectiveness)

This study will assess PL among the pupils before and after the intervention period using the Danish Assessment of Physical Literacy (DAPL) that has been developed and validated in the DAPL project supported by TrygFonden #125640.

Time frame
11 months
2

Daily physical activity (preliminary effectiveness)

Physical Activity will be measured with Axivity® AX3 accelerometers worn for 7 consecutive days. Axivity tracks physical activity in activity counts.

Time frame
