About this study
Official title: Effectiveness of an Intervention of Physical Activity Promotion in Schoolchildren on Preventing Obesity During the Adiposity Rebound Period: a Cross-over Randomized Cluster Trial.
Coordinated project whose objectives are: a) to assess the effectiveness of a physical activity intervention (MOVI-KIDS) on preventing obesity and improving fitness during the adiposity rebound period; and b) to examine the effectiveness of MOVI-KIDS on reducing the carotid intima-media thickness.
Read the detailed description
The prevalence of overweight in Spanish children in the puberty age is among the highest in the world and increasing quickly. Our group has done so far two interventions based on after-school programs of recreational physical activity to control obesity and other cardiovascular risk factors in primary school children (8-to-11 years)in Cuenca, Spain.
The first edition, called MOVI, showed moderate effect in reducing adiposity and improving the lipid profile, but did not significantly improve overall cardiometabolic risk, mainly because of did not reduce blood insulin levels. A second edition (MOVI-2), increased duration and intensity of the sessions and was more focused on increased muscle strength. Preliminary analysis also show a decrease in body fat, a reduction of global cardiometabolic because of decreased insulin levels.
Our project integrates a multidimensional intervention to promote physical activity, with a mixed design (cross-over randomized trial, and a qualitative study) and consist of two sub-projects that share the same study population: "Effectiveness of an intervention of physical activity promotion in schoolchildren on preventing obesity during the adiposity rebound period: a cross-over randomized cluster trial" and "Effectiveness of physical activity intervention to prevent obesity and improve academic performance in children with and without ADHD risk".
The two interventions are based on a cross-over randomized trial aimed to test the effectiveness of an intervention to promote physical activity in the school environment (MOVI-KIDS) during two-years in 22 schools (20 public and two private schools) in the provinces of Cuenca and Ciudad Real, Spain.
This principal subproject consisted of a mixed study including both the trial cited above and a nested qualitative study aimed to identify barriers and facilitators to physical activity in children in the school environment (social and family factors, urban planning, etc.), and produce knowledge about the perceptions of children, parents and teachers on how you can improve conditions of physical and social environment to facilitate physical activity.
The hypotheses of this third edition are that a multidimensional intervention promoting physical activity in children at the adiposity rebound period (4-7 years),in the school environment (MOVI-KIDS), lasting two-years, will to:
- Reduce the body fat percentage in the intervention group versus the control group in 2%.
- Improve the several components of fitness: aerobic capacity, strength, speed and agility.
- Reduce the carotid intima-media thickness and
- Reduce fat, increase fat free mass, and reduce sedentary behavior.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
MOVI-KIDSBehavioural
MOVI-KIDS is a multidimensional intervention that consist of: a) for children, 4.5 h/week of a standardized recreative, non-competitive physical activity extracurricular program; b) informative sessions to parents and teachers about how schoolchildren can became more active, and c) interventions in the playground (environmental changes: equipment, facilities, painting, etc.) aimed to promote physical activity during recess (MOVI-Playground).
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| MOVI-KIDS Program | Experimental | Intervention group Receives: Behavioral: MOVI-KIDS |
| Control | No intervention | No intervention |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Body fat percentage
To reduce body fat percentage in the intervention group versus the control group in 2% in children during the adiposity rebound 4-7 years).
Mean of two measurements of body fat percentage using an eight-electrode BC-418 MA bioimpedance analysis system (Tanita Corp. Tokyo, Japan).
Measured: One year (interim analysis)
Secondary outcomes (4)
Physical fitness
It will be assessed the main components of fitness: a) muscle strength by using standing long jump test b) Flexibility by using the sit and reach test c) speed-agility (The 4x10 meters shuttle run test), d) aerobic capacity, by using 20-m shuttle run test, which is validated to measure maximal aerobic capacity in children from 5 years.
Measured: One year (interim analysis)
Waist circumference
Waist circumference will be measured 3 times at the midpoint between the last rib and the iliac crest at the end of a normal expiration and using a flexible tape.
Measured: One year (interim analysis)
Tricipital skinfold thickness
Skinfold thickness will be measured 3 times at the triceps using a Holtain Ltd. caliper (0.2 mm accuracy and consistent 10 g/mm2 pressure between valves)
Measured: one year (interim analysis)
Blood pressure
Blood pressure will be measured twice, with a 5-min interval between measurements. The first measurement will be made after at least 5 min rest. The child will be seated, in relaxing conditions, with the right arm semi-flexed at heart level. Blood pressure will be measured with an Omron M5-I monitor (Omron Healthcare UK Ltd.) using one of 3 different cuff sizes according to arm circumference.
Measured: one year (interim analysis)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing MOVI-KIDS in people with Physical Activity and Adiposity, run by University of Castilla-La Mancha at 1 site in Spain.
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 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
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?
Body fat percentage (time frame: One year (interim analysis)). 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 NCT01971840, which also lists 3 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?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Dec 2013.
