Teachers (N = 44; 48% female/52% male; mean ± SD years teaching experience = 10.6 ± 8.0) from 16 secondary schools were assessed at baseline. Intervention group teachers (i.e. from eight schools) delivered a structured school-based physical activity program over 10-weeks. Teacher outcomes included confidence to teach health-related fitness (HRF) activities, perceived barriers to teaching HRF activities, and perceived fitness. Detailed process evaluation data were also collected. Assessments were conducted at baseline and 6-months (post-program), and outcomes were assessed using repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: There was a positive group-by-time effect for the confidence composite score (p = .010, partial eta squared = 0.29), but no effects for the two (contextual, interpersonal) barrier composite scores. Also, there was a significant effect for perceived ‘general fitness’ (p = 0.044, partial eta squared = 0.13), but not for specific fitness subdomains. Teachers were highly satisfied with both the training and the program, believing it was beneficial for students. Resource usage and adherence to the SAAFE (Supportive, Active, Autonomous, Fair, Enjoyable) delivery principles was high. Conclusion: RT for Teens improved teachers’ confidence and perceived fitness. These findings highlight the potential for high-quality teacher training and program delivery to positively influence teacher-level outcomes. This may provide support for the use of teacher professional development to improve HRF-related pedagogy.]]> Wed 31 Aug 2022 08:19:25 AEST ]]> Physical Activity, Fitness, and Executive Functions in Youth: Effects, Moderators, and Mechanisms https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43692 Wed 28 Sep 2022 09:26:49 AEST ]]> Establishing Effectiveness of a Community-based, Physical Activity Program for Fathers and Daughters: A Randomized Controlled Trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43613 Wed 28 Jun 2023 14:17:51 AEST ]]> Effects of an Exercise Program on Cardiometabolic and Mental Health in Children With Overweight or Obesity: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53444 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:36:47 AEDT ]]> Which indices of cardiorespiratory fitness are more strongly associated with brain health in children with overweight/obesity? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53841 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:11:31 AEDT ]]> Cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness associations with older adolescent cognitive control https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45215 n = 541, 43% female) from 20 secondary schools who completed tests of inhibition (modified flanker task), working memory (n-back task), CRF (Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run), and MF (standing long jump and push-up test). Multilevel analyses tested the association between CRF or MF and cognitive outcomes while accounting for the influence of the other fitness variable and relevant demographic factors. Results: CRF predicted response accuracy during incongruent flanker trials, the condition requiring greater inhibition. For the working memory task, CRF predicted greater target accuracy and greater d' scores on the 1-back task, requiring lesser amounts of working memory. In the 2-back task, which requires greater amounts of working memory, CRF also predicted greater target and non-target accuracy and d' scores. Comparatively, MF did not predict any cognitive outcomes after adjustment for CRF. Conclusion: CRF was selectively related to better performance during task conditions that require greater amounts of inhibition and working memory. This finding suggests that CRF, but not MF, may benefit cognitive control in older adolescents. This selective influence of CRF on older adolescents’ cognition highlights the value of aerobic physical activity.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 14:53:31 AEDT ]]> Impact of a father-daughter physical activity program on girls' social-emotional well-being: a randomized controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47701 d = 0.6), when compared with controls. Intervention daughters were also more likely to show clinically meaningful improvements in well-being (54%) than controls (18%). Medium-to-large effects were observed for: seven of eight social-emotional competencies (e.g., personal responsibility, d = 0.4-0.9), father-daughter relationship quality (d = 0.8, father-report; d = 0.5, daughter-report), daughters' prosocial behavior (d = 0.3) and several indicators of father involvement. Most outcomes had improved by 9 months. No effects were observed for daughters' emotional difficulties or global self-perception.

A total of 240 adults (aged 18-80) will be recruited and randomly allocated to either the ecofit intervention or a 'wait-list' control group. Both groups will have access to the two types of outdoor park exercise equipment, but the intervention group will be given access to the purpose-built ecofit app and a 90-min introductory group training session. To promote social support, participants can enrol in a group of up to four individuals and access the ecofit Facebook group. The ecofit app include workout plans that can be tailored to different locations, difficulty levels and workout-types (i.e., resistance-only or combined resistance and aerobic workouts). Outcome assessments will be conducted at baseline, 3- (primary-end point) and 9-months follow-up. The primary outcomes are upper and lower body muscular fitness. The secondary outcomes include physical activity, body composition, aerobic fitness, body mass index, self-report resistance-based physical activity, and mental health outcomes. The cost-effectiveness of the study will also be evaluated. Discussion: ecofit is an innovative, multi-component physical activity intervention that integrates smartphone technology, social support and the outdoor built environment to promote community-based aerobic and resistance-based physical. The findings will be used to guide future interventions and to support councils to promote community-based physical activity through the use of local outdoor exercise equipment.

Conclusions: Through the application of multiple implementation support strategies, secondary schools were able to overcome commonly known barriers to implement evidence based school PA practices. As such practices have been shown to result in an increase in adolescent PA and improvements in weight status, policy makers and practitioners responsible for advocating PA in schools should consider this implementation approach more broadly when working with schools. Follow-up is required to determine whether practice implementation is sustained.

Differences in MVPA were not significant (d = 0.24, 95% CI: -35.53, 254.67, p = 0.139). Changes in MVPA were mediated by self-efficacy, perceived capability, environment, social support, intentions and planning, some of which showed inconsistent mediation (suppression). None of the hypothesised psychosocial factors mediated sleep outcomes. Changes in sleep hygiene mediated changes in sleep quality. Conclusions: Several psychosocial factors mediated changes in physical activity but not in sleep outcomes. Mediation effects of sleep hygiene on sleep quality highlight the importance of providing evidence-based strategies to improve sleep quality.]]> Fri 30 Jun 2023 10:17:36 AEST ]]> Effects of Classroom-Based Resistance Training With and Without Cognitive Training on Adolescents’ Cognitive Function, On-task Behavior, and Muscular Fitness https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45423 Fri 28 Oct 2022 11:41:17 AEDT ]]> Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a school-based health and well-being program for adolescent girls https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45417 Fri 28 Oct 2022 10:17:20 AEDT ]]> Scaling-Up Adolescent High-Intensity Interval Training Programs for Population Health https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48093 Fri 24 Feb 2023 15:24:02 AEDT ]]> An internet-supported school physical activity intervention in low socioeconomic status communities: results from the Activity and Motivation in Physical Education (AMPED) cluster randomised controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35711 Fri 19 Aug 2022 12:27:53 AEST ]]> Process Evaluation of a School-Based High-Intensity Interval Training Program for Older Adolescents: The Burn 2 Learn Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42182 Fri 19 Aug 2022 09:43:19 AEST ]]> Impact of Embedding High-Intensity Interval Training in Schools and Sports Training on Children and Adolescent's Cardiometabolic Health and Health-Related Fitness: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53237  .05).
