Effects of Social Skills and Physical Activity Training on Recreational Activities in Youth
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Social Skills, Physical Activity
In brief
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of social skills training on adolescents physical activity levels. For one week at the beginning and end of the study teens will wear a BioTrainer to measure their activity levels and also wear a pager to communicate the types of activities they are doing throughout the day. For 8 weeks participants will be randomized into one of two groups, a social skills training group or a physical activity group. The investigators predict that both groups will experience an increase in physical activity and social involvement (decrease time spent alone).
