Official title
The Effects of Classroom-based Physical Activity on Academic Self-efficacy in University Students
Overview
The goal of this study is to learn if a classroom-based physical activity program can improve academic self-efficacy in university students. The main question it aims to answer is: Do students who take part in classroom-based physical activities have higher academic self-efficacy scores than students who do not? Researchers will compare students in classrooms that do the physical activity program to students in classrooms that continue their usual class routine (no extra activities). Participants will: If in the activity group: take part in one time per day, five times a week, a total of eight weeks during regular classes. If in the control group: attend classes as normal. Complete a questionnaire about their academic self-efficacy.
Interventions
- Other classroom based physical activity with Instructional videos
Participants in this group will take part in short physical activity breaks during their regular classroom sessions. Each break lasts about 5 to 10 minutes and includes simple movements such as standing up, stretching, walking in place, or light aerobic exercises. These breaks will occur 5 times per week over 8 weeks. A trained instructor or a pre-recorded video will guide the activities.
Primary outcome measures
- academic self-efficacy [Time frame: Baseline, week 8]
