Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of sport-based physical education (PE) curriculum on activity behaviors (moderate to vigorous physical activity and sedentary behavior), executive functions, and academic performance in elementary school-aged children, particularly among low-income ethnic minorities. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Whether a school-based sport program can improve child engagement in school-time moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and total daily MVPA, compared to a control group (standard PE class)?
* Whether a school-based sport program can improve child executive functions and academic performance, compared to a control group (standard PE class)?
Participants randomized to receive the ACtive Children Enhance LEaRning and AttenTION (ACCELERATION) intervention (treatment) received
* 45-minute weekly for 10 weeks soccer (ball mastery exercises) curriculum led by trained PE teachers during the school PE lesson time.
* Homework required practicing learned ball mastery skills daily for 15-20 minutes at home. A required ball was provided to them.
* Virtual parent workshops, which required the attendance of parents of study participants to improve their understanding of all about the program
Researchers will compare the control group, who received a regular PE class curriculum, to see if there are any differences in child activity behaviors, executive functions, and academic performance.
