These factors reduce the time children spend being active, despite the fact that active play is known to be crucial for children's healthy growth and development. Active play helps children move more, stay physically fit, and develop important social and emotional skills such as teamwork, confidence, and enjoyment. It also supports motor skill development, which includes basic skills like running, jumping, throwing, and catching. The lack of active play in everyday life suggests a strong need for school based programs that can safely introduce regular, structured, and enjoyable physical activity opportunities for children.\n\nObjective The main objective of this study is to find out whether a school based active play program can help children increase their daily physical activity, reduce the amount of time they spend sitting, and improve their sleep patterns. The study also aims to examine whether the program improves children's fundamental movement skills, such as running, jumping, throwing, and catching.\n\nMethods This study will use a randomised controlled trial design. Randomisation will be at the school level to ensure fairness and reduce bias. This study will test a 12-week school-based AP programme designed to help primary school children in Bangladesh be more active, sit less, sleep better, and improve their basic movement skills. The study will involve eight primary schools, with each school acting as one cluster. Four schools will receive the AP programme and the remaining four will continue their usual routine. About 43 children from each school will join, giving a total sample of around 343 students.\n\nEligibility Criteria Children can take part if they are students at a primary school, healthy, staying in their school for at least six months, able to understand basic Bengali or English, and are Bangladeshi citizens. Children will not be included if they are outside the age range, not attending school, or regularly involved in organised sports, dance, or athletic training. These rules help ensure that the programme is safe and that the comparison between the AP group and the control group is fair.\n\nIntervention Description The AP programme will run twice a week for 60 minutes. Each session will include 30 minutes of free play where children choose their own games and 30 minutes of researcher-led guided play. Activities will help children practise running, jumping, throwing, catching, and other fundamental skills. Weekly themes will keep the sessions enjoyable. Students will earn activity points for being active during sessions, reducing screen time at home, and following healthy sleep routines. Each week, the top three \"Active Champions'' from every school will receive a small reward.\n\nOrientation Sessions Before the programme begins, orientation sessions will be held for parents, teachers, and children. Parents will learn how to support safe play at home, especially when outdoor play is limited due to dengue or safety concerns. They will also receive tips on reducing screen time and encouraging good sleep habits. Teachers will be trained to integrate active breaks, organise movement-friendly classrooms, use outdoor areas safely, and give feedback to students. Children will learn why active play is important and how it can help their health, learning, confidence, and friendships.\n\nData Collection Plan Data will be collected at three time points: before the programme (T1), immediately after 12 weeks (T2), and eight weeks later (T3). Researchers will collect questionnaire responses, measure height, weight and use wrist-worn accelerometers to measure physical activity, sitting time, and sleep. Teachers and parents will help children wear the devices correctly and keep usage records. Fundamental motor skills will be assessed using the (Test of Gross Motor Development) TGMD 3 tool.\n\nData Analysis Researchers will check all data for accuracy and compare results between the AP and control groups. The study will examine changes in PA, sedentary behaviour, sleep patterns, and FMS. It will also explore whether age, gender, or family background affects how children respond to the programme. The results will help determine whether the AP programme is practical for Bangladeshi schools and effective in improving children's movement behaviours and FMS.\n\nExpected Results It is expected that children who participate in the AP program will show clear improvements in PA levels, movement skills, sitting time, and sleep patterns compared with children in the control group. Schools may also learn simple and low-cost ways to support children's activity within limited time and space, making the program valuable beyond the study itself.",[31,264,265,266],"Sedentary Behaviors","Sleep","Fundamental Movement Skills",[268,269,266,270],"Active Play","Movement Behaviours","Primary School Children","2026-02-08",{"date":273,"type":40},"2026-02-13",{"date":275,"type":20},"2026-05-01",{"date":277,"type":20},"2027-03-30",{"name":279,"class":82},"Hong Kong Baptist University",{"id":281,"slug":282,"hasResults":11,"nctId":283,"briefTitle":284,"officialTitle":285,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":286,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":287,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":288,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":21,"phases":290,"briefSummary":291,"conditions":292,"keywords":297,"overallStatus":36,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":302,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":303,"startDateStruct":305,"completionDateStruct":307,"leadSponsor":309,"locationsCount":47},"100622157","effects-of-wearable-device-functions-and-health-coaching-on-device-measured-movement-behaviours-and-cardiometabolic-risk-factors-in-adults-with-central-obesity-100622157","NCT07379970","Effects of Wearable Device Functions and Health Coaching on Device-measured Movement Behaviours and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Adults With Central Obesity","Effects of Wearable Device Functions and Health Coaching on Device-measured Movement Behaviours and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Adults With Central Obesity: a Randomised Controlled Trial","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age 40 years or older\n* Central obesity, defined as waist circumference: ≥90 cm for men; ≥80 cm for women\n* Insufficient physical activity based on World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines\n* Physical activity assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) - Short Form\n* Ownership of a smartphone\n* Able to read and understand English or Chinese\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* unable to perform daily-life activities, based on the Physical Activity Readiness-Questionnaire (PAR-Q) (24) and\u002For participation in another lifestyle-change intervention study.","40 Years",{"count":289,"type":20},133,[23],"This study is a randomized controlled trial. The objective of this study is to investigate:\n\n1. the effects of 1-year evidence-based interventions incorporating wearable device functions alone on device-measured movement behaviours and cardiometabolic risk factors among adults with central obesity; and\n2. the effects of 1-year evidence-based interventions incorporating wearable device functions combined with health coaching on device-measured movement behaviours and cardiometabolic risk factors among adults with central obesity.\n\nWe hypothesise that the use of wearable device functions in combination with health coaching will lead to significantly greater improvements in device-measured movement behaviours and cardiometabolic risk factors compared with no intervention and wearable device functions alone, both after the 12-month intervention and at the 6-month follow-up.\n\nThis study will implement a parallel-group, open-label, 1-year randomized controlled trial involving 133 adults aged 40 years or older with central obesity. The trial will examine the effects of a cutting-edge intervention using evidence-based wearable device functions alone or in combination with evidence-based health coaching on movement behaviours and cardiometabolic risk factors.\n\nAll participants will provide written informed consent prior to participation and will be informed that they may withdraw from the study at any time during the study period.

The two intervention groups will use four evidence-based Fitbit functions: step goal setting, sleep goal setting, activity prompts, and community functions. The key difference between the two intervention groups is that one group will additionally receive a structured health coaching program adapted from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP), as used in our prior trial.\n\nThe CDC NDPP recommends that at least 22 health coaching sessions be delivered over a 1-year period, depending on participants' needs, and provides corresponding curricula and handouts outlining session content. Coaching sessions will be delivered by trained research staff who have received appropriate professional training in health coaching delivery.\n\nThe lifestyle change program will include, but not be limited to:\n\n1. education on cardiometabolic disease risk factors (e.g., type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, and stroke);\n2. goal planning and goal setting;\n3. strategies for self-monitoring physical activity, sleep, diet, and stress;\n4. strategies for initiating and maintaining favourable levels of physical activity, diet, and sleep;\n5. strategies for obtaining support from family, friends, and co-workers; and\n6. review of achievements and challenges during the intervention period, with goal setting and planning for the subsequent 6-month follow-up period.\n\nParticipants will attend the research laboratory on three occasions: at baseline, immediately after the 12-month intervention, and at the 6-month follow-up. Assessments will include demographic information, standing height, body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and questionnaires.\n\nAt each laboratory visit, one EDTA blood sample and one clotted blood sample will be collected by a trained phlebotomist and analysed by an accredited medical diagnostic centre to assess cardiometabolic risk markers, including total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides.\n\nAn Axivity AX6 device will be used as a research-grade accelerometer to assess movement behaviours, including sleep, sedentary time, light physical activity, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), steps, energy expenditure, and resting heart rate.

Before launching a large study, the research team completed several early phases to make sure the program met families' needs. First, a needs assessment was conducted with mothers to understand barriers to physical activity and what types of support would be most useful. Using this feedback, the program was refined and tested with three mother-child pairs over six weeks. Finally, there was an 18-week pilot randomized trial to examine feasibility and acceptability.\n\nResearchers are now conducting a larger randomized trial with up to 266 families. Half of the families are randomly assigned to receive the physical activity program, and half to a comparison group. The program combines fun, age-appropriate movement activities for children with practical support for parents. Sessions focus on building core movement skills such as jumping, balancing, running, and throwing, while also encouraging confidence, coordination, and enjoyment of being active. Activities can be adapted to each child's ability and home environment, making the program realistic for busy families.\n\nThe program includes both in-person sessions and technology-based activities. In-person sessions provide hands-on support for learning new skills. Technology-based activities offer simple ideas families can use at home or during daily routines, such as hopping games, balance challenges, or quick movement breaks.\n\nBecause parents in earlier phases wanted nutrition support, in-person sessions also includes a brief, child-friendly exposure to fruits and vegetables, along with simple recipes. A \"Tasting Party\" at the start of the program allows children to try different foods, and Veggie Meter scans at the beginning and end of the study help track changes in fruit and vegetable intake.\n\nOverall, this study will help determine whether a family-tailored physical activity program is a promising approach to improving physical activity, movement skills, and early health indicators in young children born to mothers with obesity.",[31],[324,325,326,327,328],"Preschool children","Early childhood","Physical activity intervention","Gross motor skills","Motor development",{"date":330,"type":40},"2026-01-22",{"date":332,"type":40},"2025-07-28",{"date":334,"type":20},"2031-07-01",{"name":336,"class":82},"Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute",{"id":338,"slug":339,"hasResults":11,"nctId":340,"briefTitle":341,"officialTitle":342,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":343,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":344,"minAge":91,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":345,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":21,"phases":347,"briefSummary":348,"conditions":349,"keywords":350,"overallStatus":36,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":356,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":357,"startDateStruct":359,"completionDateStruct":361,"leadSponsor":362,"locationsCount":47},"100619367","community-expecting-exercise-during-pregnancy-100619367","NCT07343700","Community Expecting: Exercise During Pregnancy","Community Expecting: Exercise During Pregnancy for Sedentary Women With Obesity","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* 18 years of age or older\n* Having a BMI ≥ 30\n* Not currently meeting guidelines for 150 min of moderate physical activity per week.\n* All children born to mother participants will be included and eligible.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Non-English speaking individuals.\n* Contraindications for exercise (preeclampsia-eclampsia, premature rupture of the membranes, antepartum hemorrhage, placenta previa, or multiple gestation),) as determined by the investigators to affect the outcomes of interest\n* Using recreational drugs, tobacco, or alcohol during their pregnancy.\n* \\\u003C 11 or \\> 16 weeks gestation","FEMALE",{"count":346,"type":20},228,[23],"Regular physical activity during pregnancy is safe and offers many health benefits for both mothers and their babies. Research over the past decade shows that exercise can help pregnant women gain a healthy amount of weight, lower their risk of gestational diabetes and high blood pressure, and reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of postpartum depression. Babies also benefit when their mothers are active, with lower risks of preterm birth, unhealthy birth size, and childhood obesity.\n\nDespite this strong evidence, very few exercise programs for pregnant women have been tested in real-world community settings, such as fitness centers, community health programs, or local organizations. Even fewer studies explain how these programs were delivered or what helped them succeed. Without this information, it is difficult for communities and health programs to offer exercise support that is both effective and practical for pregnant women.\n\nTo address this gap, the research team adapted an evidence-based program called EXPECTING so it could be delivered by community organizations. Previous participants and community advisors helped to understand what changes were needed to make the program easier to offer while still keeping it safe and effective. The core parts of the program, including the type, amount, and intensity of aerobic and strength-building exercises, remained the same and are based on established pregnancy exercise guidelines.\n\nThe adapted program, called COMMUNITY EXPECTING, includes both aerobic exercise and resistance training. The research team also developed specific supports to help community instructors deliver the program consistently and with confidence. All program components have already been tested in community settings and shown to be realistic, acceptable, and delivered as planned.\n\nThis study will examine whether offering a structured exercise program in community settings helps pregnant women be more physically active than usual prenatal care alone. We will also assess whether the program can be delivered successfully and in a way that works for both participants and community providers.
