About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of MOVI Interventions on Improving Adiposity, Cognition and Motor Competence by Increasing Aerobic Cardiorespiratory Fitness: MOVI-da10!

Project which objective is to test the effectiveness of a classroom-based physical activity intervention (MOVI-da10!) on improving, body composition, cardio-respiratory fitness and executive function.

Read the detailed description

In the last decade, this research group has tested the effectiveness of three interventions following after-school intervention model. The first one (MOVI) was carried out in peripuberal age children (4th and 5th year of primary education, 8-11 years) and showed a moderate effect in reducing the adiposity of schoolchildren with higher BMI, an improvement of the lipid profile, without significantly improving the global cardiometabolic risk because it did not produce a reduction in insulinemia.

The second edition (MOVI-2), carried out at schoolchildren of the same age range, increased the duration and intensity of the sessions, and was focused on the development of muscular strength in order to improve insulinemia levels. The intervention showed proved effectiveness; in addition, the data from this intervention showed a modest improvement in girls' aerobic capacity, but not in boys.

The last edition (MOVI-KIDS) was aimed at children aged 4 to 7 years to test the hypotheses that vigorous physical activity at early ages could produce lifelong cardio-metabolic benefits. Data submitted for publication in this study show that, as in the case of the IDEFICS study in children of similar age, the intervention was not effective in improving fitness.

This new edition (MOVI-da10!) has been designed following integrated physical activity intervention and active breaks designs, and as a controlled cluster-randomized trial including 9 schools from Cuenca province, Spain. Six schools will be randomized to the two intervention groups (IG), where the intervention of MOVI-da10! will be conducted for third grade preschool children (about 5 years old), using two different design. Three of them will receive an active breaks intervention, in which twice a day a 10 minutes breaks standard physical activity will be developed, and the other three will receive twice a day a 10 minutes of enriched physical activity integrated in the curriculum. The other three schools will be allocated to the control group (CG).

During an academic year the MOVIda10! interventions will consist of: i) an integrated across the curriculum cognitive demanding physical activity program including two active breaks lasting 10 min, five days/week; and ii) an active breaks physical activity program including two active breaks lasting 10 min, five days/week. In the CG regular physical activity will continue.

At the end of the school year the researchers will determine main outcome variables: changes in VO2max, body fat by bioimpedance and executive function.

The hypotheses of this new edition will be that: the MOVI-da10 intervention! based on physical activity integrated in the curriculum for third grade preschool children, will be:

  1. Moderately increase the executive function and academic performance in the IGs versus the CG (effect size 0.5).
  2. Increase aerobic capacity (VO2max) in IGs versus CG by 3%.
  3. Reduced body fat in IGs versus CG by 3%

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MOVI-da10! active breaksBehavioural

    MOVI-da10! active breaks, is a physical activity intervention that consists on two daily physical activity breaks of 10 minutes of duration (intensity: 4-6 METs, Heart rate ≥150 bpm). It is aimed to enhance physical activity, motor skills and cognition among 5 years old children

  • MOVI-da10! integrated physical activityBehavioural

    MOVI-da10! integrated lessons, is a physical activity intervention that consists on two daily cognitive demanding physical activity breaks of 10 minutes of duration (intensity: 2-3 METs, Heart rate <150 bpm). It is aimed to enhance physical activity, motor skills and cognition among 5 years old children

What is being measured

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

  1. Executive function

    Executive function will be measured by standardized test using the NIH toolbox

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. VO2 max

    It will be assessed by using 20-m shuttle run test, which is validated to measure maximal aerobic capacity in children.

    Measured: One year

  2. Motor skills

    By using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children 2 (M-ABC 2)

    Measured: One year

  3. Body fat%

    Body fat percentage measured by Bioimpedance analysis

    Measured: One year

  4. Health-related quality of life

    By using the validated version in Spanish of KIDL for children of 4-7 years and their parents.

    Measured: One year

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 2018. 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?

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?

Executive function (time frame: One year). 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 NCT03236363, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 Jul 2018.
