Lace Up and Move: Structured After School Exercise Intervention for Hispanic and African American Youth
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of Lace Up and Move (LUAM), a structured
after-school exercise intervention, designed to increase moderate-to-vigorous physical
activity (MVPA) and enhance sleep quality among Hispanic and African American (AA) boys and
girls.
after-school exercise intervention, designed to increase moderate-to-vigorous physical
activity (MVPA) and enhance sleep quality among Hispanic and African American (AA) boys and
girls.
This study uses a randomized comparison-group pre-post-test design. Overall objectives of
LUAM are to: (1) to increase the percentage of youth who meet 60 minutes of daily MVPA per
week; (2) to improve the quality of sleep patterns (i.e., sleep efficiency and duration); and
(3) to reduce percent body fat (%BF). It is hypothesized that compared to the control group
(CG) participants, the experimental group (EG) participants will exhibit: (a) greater
increase in percentage of children who meet 60 minutes of daily MVPA per week; (b) greater
increase of sleep efficiency and duration; and (c) greater decrease in sleep latency and (d)
greater decrease in %BF.
