Introduction Despite the known health and educational benefits of physical activity risks prolonged sedentary behaviour, only one in 10 adolescents globally meet guidelines, three-quarters school day is spent sitting. TransformUs , an effective cost-effective whole-of-school programme for promoting primary children’s reducing has been adapted secondary schools ( Secondary ). The aim this paper to describe protocol relation implementation scale-up across Australia, real-world effectiveness intervention on adolescents’ time, as well sitting sleep, well-being class engagement. Methods analysis A type II hybrid implementation-effectiveness trial will be conducted using a mixed-methods design. For trial, disseminated via key organisations nationally (eg, state departments education) available all Australian (n=1453). Implementation outcomes evaluated RE-AIM framework (reach, adoption, maintenance). Data collected at teacher levels website (website analytics), descriptive quantitative surveys, text messages teachers qualitative interviews with teachers, students representatives from organisations. Descriptive statistics summarise data, regression analyses examining associations between strategies outcomes. classified low, moderate or high based extent delivery. Qualitative data thematically analysed. We assess Victorian pragmatic 1:1 waitlist control target sample 600 Year 7–10 (12–16 years). Primary include time (assessed accelerometry), (sleep well-being), engagement (on-task behaviour assessed classroom observation attendance) posture monitors). students’ demographics, activity, engagement, while mixed models evaluate effects these outcomes, adjusted confounders. Additionally, analysed deductive inductive coding NVivo. Ethics dissemination These trials were approved by Deakin University Human Research Committee (2021–269) following education authorities: Capital Territory Education Directorate (RES 2317), New South Wales Department (2022253), Northern (20865), Victoria (2023_004712), Queensland (550/27/2585), (2022–0019), Tasmanian (2022–25), Western (D23/1152724), Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (1232).

The Break4Brain project aims to elucidate the effects of both acute and chronic physical activity (PA) on educational achievement in children with without Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This study will be conducted two phases: a cross-over design followed by hybrid type 1 implementation-effectiveness trial, which includes cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) qualitative study. In phase I, 60 aged 10-12, 30 each from ADHD non-ADHD groups, participate laboratory-based over 4 days within month. They three counterbalanced experimental conditions: (i) PA cognitive engagement, (ii) (iii) cognitively engaging control. assess changes brain function, academic performance, working memory, inhibitory control, sustained attention. Phase II involve 600 randomly assigned either video-based program or control group (300 per group) an 8-week RCT. also incorporate approach explore implementation context through pre- post-intervention semi-structured interviews teachers school staff, questionnaires for students. outcomes interest this include flexibility, selective attention, performance. For study, we hypothesize that conditions enhance studied compared condition.

Furthermore, if RCT proves effective, it could offer practical cost-effective resource integrating into daily routines.
