Coaching After-School staff with data may boost Kids' activity
NCT ID NCT07195409
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- data coaching process (Out of School Time Coach)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a simple, scalable way for after-school programs to increase children's physical activity and confidence in movement.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, so effects may be modest or hard to sustain.
