What this trial studies

This feasibility study aims to support active travel among adolescents through a school-based intervention that enhances health literacy and motivation for physical activity. The intervention lasts for six weeks and includes sessions delivered by both a science and education center and teachers. It employs a theory-based educational approach, focusing on self-determination theory to empower students and promote sustained behavioral change. The program is designed collaboratively to ensure relevance and effectiveness, addressing barriers and benefits of active travel.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could lead to increased physical activity levels among adolescents, improving their overall health and well-being.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown that educational strategies in school-based active travel interventions can be effective, although this specific approach is novel in its collaborative development and theoretical framework.
