Secondary Active Transport01:55

Secondary Active Transport

134.1K
One example of how cells use the energy contained in electrochemical gradients is demonstrated by glucose transport into cells. The ion vital to this process is sodium (Na+), which is typically present in higher concentrations extracellularly than in the cytosol. Such a concentration difference is due, in part, to the action of an enzyme “pump” embedded in the cellular membrane that actively expels Na+ from a cell. Importantly, as this pump contributes to the high concentration of...

Group Design

10.0K
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Adolescent Health
  • School-based Interventions

Background:

  • Regular physical activity (PA) is crucial for adolescent physical, social, and mental health.
  • Schools offer a prime setting for health promotion, but whole-school PA approaches require testing.
  • The feasibility of the second level Active School Flag (SLASF) pilot program in the Irish context is unknown.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of the first year of the SLASF certificate program in three Irish pilot schools.
  • To evaluate the implementation fidelity of a whole-school approach to promoting PA.
  • To explore secondary outcomes related to PA levels and their correlates.

Main Methods:

  • A year-long pilot program involving 17 planned actions across three schools.
  • Data collection included physical measures, accelerometers, surveys, and interviews (pre- and post-intervention).
  • Process evaluation utilized whole-school surveys, focus groups, and interviews with school management and coordinators.

Main Results:

  • The study focused on process evaluation to determine program feasibility and implementation fidelity.
  • Data on PA levels and social cognitive correlates were collected for secondary analysis.
  • Results will inform the refinement of the SLASF program and its integration into broader health initiatives.

Conclusions:

  • The feasibility of implementing a whole-school PA program like SLASF in Irish secondary schools needs thorough evaluation.
  • Process evaluation is key to understanding implementation fidelity and refining the intervention.
  • Findings will guide the optimization of SLASF for improved adolescent health outcomes.
