Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Students in school years 11 to 13 were recruited from 11 secondary schools in the Otago region during school terms 1 and 2 of 2011. Participants completed a single administration of a web-based questionnaire collecting information on demographics, food choice, physical activity and correlates of food choice, physical activity and physical fitness. The questionnaire was designed to be completed in one class period. Data on height, weight, waist circumference and body composition by bioimpedance also collected during the same class period. The following single physical fitness measurements are also taken in a subset of participants: shuttle run, sit and reach test and abdominal curl ups. These were taken during a separate class period either on the same day as the questionnaire was completed (in the majority of cases), or within a week of questionnaire completion.
