The GoActive study is a cluster-randomised control trial designed to assess the effectiveness of the GoActive programme on increasing adolescents’ physical activity levels.
The study has been implemented in 16 schools across Essex and Cambridgeshire with 8 schools receiving the GoActive programme, and 8 remaining as control schools. Measurements assessing physical activity, body composition and psychosocial factors have been obtained across 4 different time points.
The primary aim of the study is to assess whether the GoActive programme is effective as a school intervention to increase the time adolescents spend being physically active.
