An active school model to promote physical activity in elementary schools: Action schools! BC
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of an active school model on children's physical activity (PA). DESIGN: 16-month cluster randomised controlled trial. SETTING: 10 elementary schools in Greater Vancouver, BC. PARTICIPANTS: 515 children aged 9-11 years. INTERVENTION: Action Schools! BC (AS! BC) is an active school model that provided schools with training and resources to increase children's PA. Schools implemented AS! BC with support from either external liaisons (liaison schools, LS; four schools) or internal champions (champion schools, CS; three schools). Outcomes were compared with usual practice (UP) schools (three schools). MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: PA was measured four times during the study using pedometers (step count, steps/day). RESULTS: Boys in the LS group took 1175 more steps per day, on average, than boys in the UP group (95% CI: 97 to 2253). Boys in the CS group also tended to have a higher step count than boys in the UP group (+804 steps/day; 95% CI: -341 to 1949). There was no difference in girls' step counts across groups. CONCLUSIONS: The positive effect of the AS! BC model on boys' PA is important in light of the current global trend of decreased PA.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
