Promoting active behaviours in schoolchildren using the socio-ecological model in the physical education class: study protocol of the ACTIBESE project.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe correlation between parental and child physical activity levels has been the subject of significant investigation. Existing research has illuminated this association, particularly emphasising its influence during childhood. However, as children transition into adolescence, this relationship appears to weaken. Despite the recognised importance of parental involvement in promoting physical activity among children, scant attention has been directed towards understanding effective strategies and interventions to bolster this relationship. Consequently, there exists a critical gap in the literature concerning actionable measures to enhance parent-child physical activity engagement during the pivotal stage of adolescence.
methodsThe ACTIBESE project aims to assess and intervene in Chilean schoolchildren's active behaviours by examining the influence of personal, interpersonal, and school factors. This study includes a cross-sectional and intervention study involving schools in the Valparaíso and Araucanía Regions, representing urban and rural areas. Participants, divided into children (8-11 years old) and adolescents (12-16 years old), will undergo a comprehensive evaluation, including sociodemographic characteristics, physical activity (PA) levels, parental and peer support, teaching styles of the teachers, and school environment characteristics. In the intervention study, a 5-month continuous training program for teachers will be implemented, focusing on improving teaching styles and enhancing teaching competencies related to physical education and health classes. The research will use mixed models, ANCOVA, and logistic regressions for data analysis, network analysis, exploratory factors analysis, and structural equation modelling. DISCUSSION: Through innovative research methods, interventions involving schoolteachers, and a diverse geographical scope, this project aims to make significant contributions to both the scientific understanding of promoting PA and public policy efforts aimed at improving the health and well-being of school-aged children. The ACTIBESE project's multifaceted approach, considering school, family, and peer influences, is well positioned to contribute significantly to promoting AB and addressing the alarming decline in PA levels among Chilean youth.
