This study evaluated the Child and Adolescent Trial for Cardiovascular Health (CATCH) physical education program. It assessed teacher training, support, and curriculum implementation to promote student physical activity.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Pediatric Health
  • Exercise Science

Background:

  • Childhood obesity and cardiovascular disease risk factors necessitate effective interventions.
  • The Child and Adolescent Trial for Cardiovascular Health (CATCH) program aimed to improve cardiovascular health in children.
  • Physical education is a key setting for promoting lifelong physical activity habits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a process evaluation model for the CATCH physical education (PE) intervention.
  • To describe procedures for monitoring CATCH PE teacher training, in-service support, and curriculum implementation.
  • To assess the quality and fidelity of CATCH PE instruction and its impact on student physical activity.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a process evaluation model for the CATCH PE intervention.

  • Monitored teacher training through workshops and on-site assistance.
  • Assessed curriculum implementation, student physical activity engagement, and lesson context.
  • Evaluated the fidelity of CATCH PE instruction and other physical activity opportunities.

    • Main Results:

    • The evaluation model provided a framework for monitoring intervention components.
    • Teacher training and support were systematically assessed.
    • Curriculum implementation was evaluated based on quantity, quality, and fidelity.
    • Student physical activity engagement and opportunities were key outcome measures.

    Conclusions:

    • A robust process evaluation is crucial for understanding intervention effectiveness.
    • Monitoring teacher training and curriculum fidelity ensures consistent program delivery.
    • The CATCH PE intervention demonstrated a structured approach to promoting physical activity in schools.
