What this trial studies

This interventional study tests an enhanced MAGIC program implemented in participating elementary schools to promote physically active breaks, movement-based lessons, and motor labs. The goal is to improve how well the program is adopted in schools and its effectiveness on kids’ activity levels and cardiovascular risk factors. The study compares the MAGIC program to usual practice without the enhanced implementation. Participants include students and teachers from partner district elementary schools, with exclusions limited to non-English or non-Spanish speakers. The study is led by UTHealth Houston in collaboration with the American Heart Association and is conducted at UTHealth Houston in Houston, TX.
