Coaching After-School staff with data may boost Kids' activity

This study tests whether a data coaching program called OST-Coach can help after-school staff encourage more physical activity in children. Researchers will work with staff at several after-school programs, providing them with customized data reports and coaching sessions over a school year. They will measure changes in how active the children are and how confident the children feel about their movement skills. The study involves 80 elementary school children and focuses on improving staff practices rather than directly changing child behavior.
