Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Primary outcome variable in the study is:
The contribution of physical education to total physical activity (% of total
PAEE)
Secondary outcome
Secondary outcome variables are:
-contribution of physical education to the Dutch Guideline for Healthy Physical
Activity (in minutes)
-amount of physical activity during school hours (in % of total PAEE)
-amount of physical activity during active commuting to and from school and
during recess (in % of total energy expenditure)
-contribution of sports to total physical activity (in % of total PAEE per day)
Background summary
The contribution of physical education and other school activities (including
actively commuting) to the overall activity pattern of youth is unknown. In the
Netherlands, activity during the school day and during physical education (PE)
lessons in particular has never been reported.
Study objective
To quantify the contribution of Dutch PE to physical activity (PA) of
adolescents (~13-18 yr). In addition, the amount of PA that is accumulated
throughout the week will be assessed, including the contributions of sports,
travelling to and from school and of school recess periods.
Study design
Physical activity will be estimated over one week using Actiheart devices which
combine measurement of acceleration and heart rate. Activity type will be
assessed using activity diaries.
Study burden and risks
The risk and burden of this study is deemed minimal. Nowadays, heart rate
monitoring is a well-accepted practice in sports and physical education.
Accelerometry has no recorded risks despite its widespread use. Actiheart
monitors are placed on the chest with ECG electrodes and have been specifically
designed to cause minimal discomfort, weighing around 8 grams. This study is
considered to be group-related, since it is evident that it could not be
conducted without the participation of subjects belonging to the group in
question (that is, school going adolescents).
