Summary

This trial tests whether a program called Rising New York Road Runners, which combines school physical education lessons with family activities at home, can increase physical activity and physical literacy in 3rd to 5th graders. Schools are randomly assigned to either receive the program or continue as usual. Researchers will measure children's activity levels with accelerometers and assess their movement skills to see if the program makes a difference.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A school and home physical activity program called Rising New York Road Runners, which includes lesson plans for physical education and family engagement materials.
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could offer a practical way to boost physical activity and movement skills in elementary school children, potentially improving long-term health habits.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small and focuses on one school year, so results may not apply broadly. The program's impact may vary by child, and it depends on school and family participation.
