Globally, adolescent girls' physical activity (PA) levels are low. The 'Girls Active' secondary school-based programme, developed by the Youth Sport Trust, aims to increase PA in adolescent girls. This paper explores the effectiveness of the 'Girls Active' school-based PA programme.
A random sample of girls aged 11-14 from 20 secondary schools (Midlands, UK) participated in a two-arm cluster randomised controlled trial. Ten schools received Girls Active and 10 continued with usual practice. Measurements were taken at baseline, seven- and 14-month follow-up.
wrist-worn accelerometer measured moderate- to vigorous-intensity PA (MVPA).
overall PA, light PA, sedentary time, body composition, and psychosocial outcomes. Generalised estimating equations, adjusted for school cluster and potential confounders, were used and A priori subgroup analysis was undertaken. Micro-costing and cost-consequence analyses were conducted using bespoke collection methods on programme delivery information. Outcomes for the cost-consequence analysis were health related quality of life measured by the Child Health Utility-9D and service use.
Overall, 1752 pupils participated, 1211 (69.1%) provided valid 14-month accelerometer data. No difference in MVPA (mins/day; 95% confidence intervals) was found at 14 months (1.7; -0.8 to 4.3), there was at seven months (2.4; 0.1 to 4.7). Subgroup analyses showed significant intervention effects on 14-month in larger schools (3.9; 1.39 to 6.09) and in White Europeans (3.1; 0.60 to 6.02) and in early maturers (5.1; 1.69 to 8.48) at seven months. The control group did better in smaller schools at 14-months (-4.38; -7.34 to -1.41). Significant group differences were found in 14-month identified motivation (-0.09; -0.18 to -0.01) and at seven months in: overall PA (1.39 mg/day; 0.1 to 2.2), after-school sedentary time (-4.7; -8.9 to -0.6), whole day (5.7; 1.0 to 10.5) and school day (4.5; 0.25 to 8.75) light PA, self-esteem. Small, statistically significant, differences in some psychosocial variables favoured control schools. Micro-costing demonstrated that delivering the programme resulted in a range of time and financial costs at each school. Cost-consequence analysis demonstrated no effect of the programme for health related quality of life or service use.
Compared with usual practice, 'Girls Active' did not affect 14-month MVPA.

全球范围内,青少年女孩的身体活动(PA)水平较低。“Girls Active”是由青年体育信托基金会开发的一项基于中学的项目,旨在提高青少年女孩的身体活动水平。本文探讨了“Girls Active”基于学校的身体活动项目的有效性。
从英国中部的 20 所中学中随机抽取年龄在 11-14 岁的女孩参加了一项两臂随机对照试验。10 所学校接受了“Girls Active”,10 所学校继续采用常规做法。在基线、7 个月和 14 个月的随访时进行了测量。
手腕佩戴的加速度计测量中度至剧烈强度的身体活动(MVPA)。
总体身体活动、轻度身体活动、久坐时间、身体成分和心理社会结局。使用广义估计方程,根据学校聚类和潜在混杂因素进行调整,并进行了预先设定的亚组分析。使用专门收集的项目交付信息进行微成本和成本效益分析。成本效益分析的结果是通过儿童健康效用-9D 测量的健康相关生活质量和服务利用。
共有 1752 名学生参与,1211 名(69.1%)提供了 14 个月有效的加速度计数据。在 14 个月时,MVPA 没有差异(分钟/天;95%置信区间)(1.7;-0.8 至 4.3),在 7 个月时存在差异(2.4;0.1 至 4.7)。亚组分析表明,在较大的学校(3.9;1.39 至 6.09)、白种欧洲人(3.1;0.60 至 6.02)和早熟者(5.1;1.69 至 8.48)中,干预对 14 个月的影响具有统计学意义。在 14 个月时,对照组在较小的学校中表现更好(-4.38;-7.34 至 -1.41)。在 14 个月时,在确定的动机方面发现了显著的组间差异(-0.09;-0.18 至 -0.01),在 7 个月时,在以下方面发现了总体身体活动(1.39mg/天;0.1 至 2.2)、课后久坐时间(-4.7;-8.9 至 -0.6)、全天(5.7;1.0 至 10.5)和学校日(4.5;0.25 至 8.75)的轻度身体活动、自尊。在一些心理社会变量方面,有统计学意义的小差异有利于对照组。微观成本核算表明,在每所学校实施该方案都会产生一系列的时间和财务成本。成本效益分析表明,该方案对健康相关生活质量或服务利用没有影响。
与常规做法相比,“Girls Active”并未对 14 个月的 MVPA 产生影响。
