What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Running skill assessment

    changes in manipulative skill between the intervention year 1 and the intervention year 2. The K-1 students' motor skill competency in running, weight transferring, hand dribbling, and underhand catching skills was assessed using four PE Metrics skill assessment rubrics in the intervention year 1 and year 2, respectively.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Weight transferring skill assessment

    changes in manipulative skill between the intervention year 1 and the intervention year 2. The K-1 students' motor skill competency in running, weight transferring, hand dribbling, and underhand catching skills was assessed using four PE Metrics skill assessment rubrics in the intervention year 1 and year 2, respectively.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. hand dribbling skill assessment

    changes in manipulative skill between the intervention year 1 and the intervention year 2. The K-1 students' motor skill competency in running, weight transferring, hand dribbling, and underhand catching skills was assessed using four PE Metrics skill assessment rubrics in the intervention year 1 and year 2, respectively.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. underhand catching skill assessment

    changes in manipulative skill between the intervention year 1 and the intervention year 2. The K-1 students' motor skill competency in running, weight transferring, hand dribbling, and underhand catching skills was assessed using four PE Metrics skill assessment rubrics in the intervention year 1 and year 2, respectively.

    Measured: 2 years

  5. FitnessGram test

    Relationship between fitness and physical activity.

    Measured: 1 year

  6. Daily physical activity participation in minutes

    Relationship between levels of fitness and daily physical activity participation.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing New physical education instructions in people with Child Behavior, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Running skill assessment (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03015337, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
