Description of intervention(s) / exposure
In a recent cluster randomised controlled trial (RCT) delivered in New South Wales (NSW) government schools, we demonstrated that the ‘Resistance Training for Teens’ (RT for Teens) intervention improved adolescents’ muscular fitness, body composition and RT skill competency (e.g., squat, lunge and push-up technique).

In the current project, we will partner with the NSW Department of Education (DoE) and five Local Health Districts (LHDs) to evaluate strategies to support the implementation of the RT for Teens program in NSW government and non-government secondary schools. Using findings from our previous RCT and dissemination studies, we have adapted our implementation support strategies to optimise reach, dose delivered, fidelity, sustainability, and impact. The aim of our proposed study is to assess the effect of three implementation support models (i.e., Low, Moderate and High) on the implementation (i.e., reach, effectiveness, dose delivered, fidelity, adoption, sustainability, impact and cost) of the RT for Teens program in NSW schools. To achieve this aim, we will conduct a hybrid type III implementation-effectiveness cluster RCT in 90 schools to determine the most effective and cost-effective RT for Teens implementation model.

One teacher from each school will attend the RT for Teens professional learning workshop, provided by members of the RT for Teens design team from University of Newcastle, and serve as the “School Champion”. School Champions will attend 1 full day face-to-face training and be provided with curricular materials, including units of work, lesson plans, assessments task, technique and workout cards. The workshop will occur in Term 2 (2023), while the RT for Teens program can be delivered from Term 2 until Term 4 (2023). The School Champions will train the other teachers of their school who will also deliver the program to the students. This training (delivered by the School Champions to other teachers in school) include a 2-hour workshop and will be scheduled during Term 2 (2023) prior start of the program. The attendance of the School Champion workshop will be monitored by the Project Manager (i.e., by using an attendance list) and the teachers are required to complete an Action Plan to support implementation in their school, this plan will be evaluated by the Project Manager to ensure it is of high quality. In addition, app analytics will be accessed to monitor students' participation in the practical sessions.

In addition to the teacher workshop, the Medium and High support groups will both include on-going support from external change agents (i.e., LHD Project Officers). Contact includes guidance via email, phone or face-to-face, depending teachers' preferences. Furthermore, Project Officers will observe one or two teachers per school who deliver an RT for Teens session and provide feedback to teachers on the structure of the RT for Teens session. The SAAFE observation checklist will be used to determine intervention fidelity and a brief checklist will be completed after each school meeting. This approach is consistent with the existing NSW health model for supporting the implementation of healthy eating and physical activity programs in schools. Project Officers from 5 LHDs will work directly with School Champions to facilitate implementation of the RT for Teens program. The 'High' support group will also receive a basic resistance training equipment pack valued at approximately $1000 AUD.

The RT for Teens program includes the following:

Resistance training (RT) sessions: Teachers will be trained to deliver the RT for Teens sessions. The 8-week program will utilise the following structured format: i) Warm-up (~5 mins); ii) GymFit (~20-25 mins); iii) Workout Of the Day (WOD)/GameFit/FunFit (~10-15 mins); and iv) StretchFit (i.e., a cool down including static stretching) (~5 mins). Within the 8-week implementation period, teachers will be encouraged to deliver approximately one session (theory and practice) per week.

Theory lessons: Teachers are provided with 8 x 40 min theory lessons designed by the research team to align with the Australian Curriculum for health and physical education (HPE) and the Australian Physical Literacy Framework. They will be delivered during health lessons, with content covering: (i) introduction to RT, (ii) self-assessment of fitness, motivation and monitoring, (iii) fitness and eHealth technologies, (iv) principles of training and RT program design, (v) social media, physical activity and body image, (vi) Yoga, Pilates and other muscle-strengthening activity, (vii) nutrition myths and recommendations, and (viii) community-based opportunities for RT.

Access to a smartphone app: Students and teachers will be able to access the RT for Teens app. Note: only students that provided their consent (i.e., opt-in) will be able to use the app. The app includes: a fitness testing feature – whereby students are able to use criterion-referenced standards to develop self-assessment skills; skill testing – a function for evaluating competence in six specific RT movements; and workouts – a library of pre-designed bodyweight resistance training workouts organised by difficulty (with a custom workout generator).

Teachers will be encouraged to implement the full program including all sessions, but can still participate in the program when teaching part of the intervention. Teacher logbooks will be consulted by the research team after the implementation period to collect data on what sessions have been delivered by the teachers.

Students fitness results (e.g., number of push-ups until fatigue) will be recorded through the smartphone app (students) or tablet app version (teachers). Data on level of intensity during the RT for Teens sessions will not be collected as the prior focus of the project is on implementation.

Students will not be asked to engage in additional RT exercises outside of school hours or outside this program, but they will be encouraged to get familiar with RT, feel confident about it and include it in their own exercise schedule after participation.

Behaviour
Comparator / control treatment
The 'Low' support group (i.e., usual care in delivering the RT for Teens program) will act as a control group because this is the professional development model typically used by the NSW DoE. This is often referred to as the “train and forget” model because schools are not provided with on-going support.

Schools/teachers in this group will still deliver the RT for Teens program, participate in the one-day school champion workshop and the school champion will be requested to deliver the 2-hour workshop for the other teachers (but without ongoing support/equipment pack).

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 329768 0
Our primary outcome is Reach, including the proportion of Year 9 and 10 students that participate in the RT for Teens program. This information will be collected using consents for participation and teacher logbooks (i.e., class lists). Participation (%) will be defined as the number of Year 9 and 10 students who have participated in the program divided by the total number of students in Year 9 and 10 at the study schools. All data related to this outcome will be assessed as a composite outcome.
Timepoint [1] 329768 0
Consents for participation will be collected at baseline (before intervention, during the teacher workshop). Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 6-month and 18-month follow-up.
Secondary outcome [1] 403710 0
Dose delivered: The number of RT for Teens sessions delivered to students (including practical sessions and theory lessons). We have prepared a checklist for teachers to keep track of the delivered sessions with the number of students in class (practical and theoretical separately).

Sustainability: The extent to which the program has become embedded within the school setting will be determined by interviewing the School Champions at follow-up, by a 30-minute semi-structured one-on-one interview with a member of the research team. In addition, the school champion will complete the Program Sustainability Assessment Tool (with only the items for Environmental support (n=5) and Organizational capacity (n=5)). This feedback will be assessed as a composite secondary outcome.

Impact: Impact outcomes will be collected by students using the RT for Teens smartphone app (note: only if they provided their opt-in consent) or teachers using the tablet version of the app (the latter applies only when students don't have access to a smartphone). The current version of the app allows students to enter their own results for fitness, RT skill competency and participation in muscle-strengthening activity. Students can view animated images to get familiar with the performance criteria for each specific RT skill (i.e., Squat, Push-ups, Lunge, Overhead Press, Suspended row, front support with chest touches). in the MY TECHNIQUE screen, students can see an overview of their six skills and current scores (rated with help from a peer, teacher, or can self-assess using the video). Upper body and torso muscular endurance will be assessed using the validated 90° push-up and plank tests, respectively. All the above mentioned measures will be assessed as a composite secondary outcome.

Secondary outcome [5] 403714 0
Cost: We will conduct a within-trial economic evaluation, from the perspective of the Education Sector, assessing cost-effectiveness of the RT for Teens program across the three trial arms.

Costs comprise intervention and implementation costs (not evaluation costs); the latter varies in intensity between trial arms. The opportunity cost of teacher, and other staff, time will also be costed at pro-rata salary levels for intervention and implementation activities. An incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) will assess the additional costs and additional effectiveness between trial arms. A probability sensitivity analysis will assess statistical uncertainty in the ICER, and a value of information analysis will assess the value of undertaking future research to further optimise implementation. A budget impact analysis will then estimate the total financial impact for the NSW DoE and Ministry of Health (MoH) from investing in the most cost-effective implementation model for scale-up across Australia. Central to our proposal is generating data to guide policy makers’ future decisions. To estimate RT for Teens value we will compare the incremental cost per participant with benefit achieved at the participant level across each group.

Stakeholders' perceptions of the RT for Teens program.

The final phase of this project will focus on engagement with key stakeholders in VIC, QLD and WA to guide national dissemination. This outcome will be assessed via a series of semi-structured face-to-face (or virtual if more feasible) focus groups with key stakeholders and authorities in the education and health sectors. The details of this focus group (e.g., time and discussion items) will be determined in the final phase of the RCT, once the follow-up data collection has been finalized for cohort 2.

In each state, focus group participants will include: (i) Executive directors: Government and non-government health and education authorities, (ii) School leaders: Secondary school principals and HPE head of departments who are responsible for school-based program decisions, and (iii) Teachers: Secondary school HPE teachers. Focus group data will be recorded, transcribed and entered into NVIVO software for inductive thematic analysis. Data from the focus groups will be used to investigate state-based parameters and pragmatic considerations for national dissemination.

Statistical methods / analysis
Quantitative analyses: Analyses of the primary (program reach) and secondary (implementation and impact) outcomes will be conducted using logistic mixed models for dichotomous outcomes, and ordinal or linear mixed effects regression models for continuous outcomes, with alpha levels set at p<0.025 for the comparisons of the Moderate and High support arms against the Low support arms. If the p-values for the differences between the Moderate and High support arms with the Low support arm reach this threshold, the Moderate and High support arms will be compared at a 5% significance threshold. For student level outcomes, statistical analyses will be adjusted for the clustering of effects at the class level, as students from each school are nested in classes. Although clustering at the school level is negligible after adjusting for clustering at the class level, we will test this assumption and adjust our analyses for school-level clustering if required. For teacher-level outcomes, clustering will be accounted for at the school-level. Secondary schools in NSW include an average eight Year 9 and 10 classes/school (~30 students/class).

Qualitative analyses: Audio recordings from the semi structured interviews will be de-identified and professionally transcribed. Transcriptions will be imported into NVivo 12 (QSR International, 2018) for data analysis. We ascribe to framework analysis, an approach we deem appropriate for qualitative studies with specific questions that address specific aims. Inductive thematic analysis will be used to create a broad framework for initial coding. Secondary coding will be completed by two researchers independently and inter-coder reliability will later be assessed to ensure consistency. Further analysis of refined coding will then be completed to identify key themes. The CIs will undertake a series of semi-structured face-to-face (or virtual if more feasible) focus groups with key stakeholders and authorities in the education and health sectors. In each state, focus group participants will include: (i) Executive directors: Government and non-government health and education authorities, (ii) School leaders: Secondary school principals and HPE head of departments who are responsible for school-based program decisions, and (iii) Teachers: Secondary school HPE teachers. Focus group data will be recorded, transcribed and entered into NVIVO software for inductive thematic analysis. Data from the focus groups will be used to investigate state-based parameters and pragmatic considerations for national dissemination.

Summary
Brief summary
School-based physical activity interventions need to be 'scaled-up' to improve population health. The aim of this project is to study the effects of different implementation support models on the scale-up of the "RT for Teens" program in NSW secondary schools. The expected outcomes include an optimal support model for scaling up school-based health promotion interventions, and benefits to the health of participants from their participation in resistance training.
