DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Children across the United States are insufficiently physically active. In response, numerous physical activity (PA) interventions have been developed and tested, the majority within the school setting. Unfortunately, these have resulted in limited, if any impact on children's PA. We feel that this absence of effect stems from a lack o tailoring at the school level and a resulting lack in institutionalization. To address the latter isue, we feel that it is important to leverage existing resources and capitalize on existing policies. Th state of South Carolina has instituted the role of "Physical Activity Coordinators" to promote PA among students across and beyond the school day. However, while these positions are mandated by state law, the individuals in these positions often lack the training and support to maximize their impact. Our long-term goal is to develop best practices to inform the national movement to train school PA Coordinators to deliver a Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program (CSPAP) within schools that can be disseminated across the country. The objectives of the current application are to: 1) modify and expand existing CSPAP training curricula for PA Coordinators; 2) deliver the enhanced PA Coordinator training in our pilot schools; 3) conduct process evaluation on the implementation of a CSPAP by the PA Coordinators, and 4) evaluate the effectiveness of the trainings to increase children's objectively measured PA. The goal of the proposed study is to determine the acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness of properly traine PA Coordinators to promote PA in elementary school children. This goal will be achieved through the following aims: AIM 1: Develop an enhanced CSPAP training course and resource toolkit for PA Coordinators. AIM 2: Determine the acceptability/feasibility of the enhanced PA coordinator training and the implementation of a Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program in an elementary school setting. AIM 3: Determine the effectiveness of trained PA coordinators to increase objectively measured PA in elementary school youth. We will randomize four schools to receive the PA Coordinator training (n=2) or continue standard practice (n=2). A comprehensive process and impact evaluation will be conducted to determine acceptability of the intervention, factors influencing implementation fidelity/dose, and the effectiveness of the PA Coordinators to increase physical activity measured via accelerometry in children.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国各地的儿童身体活动不足。作为回应，许多体育活动（PA）的干预措施已经制定和测试，大多数在学校设置。不幸的是，这些对儿童的PA产生了有限的影响。我们认为，这种缺乏效果的情况源于学校一级缺乏针对性的做法，从而导致缺乏制度化。为了解决后一个问题，我们认为必须利用现有资源和现有政策。南卡罗来纳州已经设立了“体育活动协调员”的角色，以促进学生在学校内外的PA。然而，虽然这些职位是由州法律授权的，但这些职位上的个人往往缺乏培训和支持，无法最大限度地发挥其影响力。我们的长期目标是制定最佳实践，为全国运动提供信息，培训学校PA协调员，在学校内提供可以在全国范围内传播的综合学校体育活动计划（CSPAP）。目前应用的目标是：1）修改和扩大现有的儿童保护优先行动计划协调员培训课程; 2）在我们的试点学校提供增强的儿童保护优先行动计划协调员培训; 3）对儿童保护优先行动计划协调员的实施进行过程评估; 4）评估培训的有效性，以提高儿童客观衡量的儿童保护优先行动。本研究的目的是探讨如何训练好的教师协调员，以促进小学儿童的教师工作。目标1：为巴勒斯坦权力机构协调员开发一个强化的《行动计划》培训课程和资源工具包。 目标2：确定加强PA协调员培训的可接受性/可行性以及在小学环境中实施综合学校体育活动计划。 目的3：确定有效的培训PA协调员，以增加客观测量PA在小学青年。我们将随机选择四所学校接受PA协调员培训（n=2）或继续标准实践（n=2）。将进行全面的过程和影响评价，以确定干预的可接受性、影响实施保真度/剂量的因素以及PA协调员增加通过加速度计测量的儿童身体活动的有效性。
