Hoosier Sport Re-Social is a sport-based intervention designed to increase physical activity (PA) and reduce social media use among children in under-resourced rural areas, aiming to mitigate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. The intervention integrates physical activity with social media literacy (SML) training, addressing the dual challenges of low PA levels and high social media usage, which are prevalent in rural communities.

Hoosier Sport Re-Social is a comprehensive, sport-based intervention designed to address the dual challenges of low physical activity (PA) and high social media use among children in under-resourced rural areas. This innovative program aims to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk by promoting healthier behaviors through the integration of physical activity and social media literacy (SML) training. Recognizing that CVD is a leading cause of death, particularly in under-resourced populations, and that fewer than one in five U.S. children meet the recommended PA levels-especially in rural areas-this intervention targets a significant public health need.
The program is designed to be implemented within the school setting, leveraging both physical education (PE) and health classes to deliver its core components. The PA portion of the intervention takes place during PE classes, where students engage in structured sport activities aimed at increasing daily physical activity levels. This component is designed to enhance students' fitness, build confidence in their physical abilities, and foster a lifelong interest in staying active.
Complementing the physical activity focus, the SML portion is integrated into health classes. Here, students are educated about the impacts of social media on health, particularly its role in influencing behavior and well-being. The curriculum equips students with the knowledge and skills to critically analyze social media content, make informed decisions about their digital consumption, and develop healthier online habits.

Exclusion criteria
Hoosier Sport Re-Social is a 6-week school-based intervention designed to reduce cardiovascular disease risk in rural children. It includes twice-weekly physical activity sessions during PE classes and weekly social media literacy training in health classes, promoting healthier physical and digital behaviors.
Time frame: Measured at week 0 and week 6
How feasible the intervention was from the perspective of the participants. This is measured through questionnaire.
Time frame: Measured at week 0 and week 6
How acceptable the intervention is to the participants. This is measured through questionnaire.
Time frame: Measured at week 0 and week 6
How appropriate the intervention is to the participants. This is measured through questionnaire.
Time frame: Week 1 (for 7 days), and week 6 (for 7 days)
Accelerometers (Axivity - AX3 model) will be used to track total daily physical activity
Time frame: HR will be taken at week 0 and week 6 before and following the 6-minute walk test.
heart rate measured via a blood pressure monitor
Time frame: BP will be taken at week 0 and week 6 before and following the 6-minute walk test.
Blood pressure measured via a blood pressure monitor
Time frame: Assessed at week 0 and week 6
Basic Psychological Needs and Satisfaction and Frustration scale. This entails feelings/perceptions of autonomy, relatedness, competence, enjoyment, satisfaction, and frustration in the study setting. Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction.
Time frame: Assessed at week 0 and week 6
the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy second addition (CAPL-2) will be used. A higher score on the CAPL-2 indicates higher physical literacy.
Time frame: Assessed at week 0 and week 6
the 6-minute walk test will be used to assess changes in fitness. Greater distance walked in the 6 minute time frame is related to greater levels of cardiovascular fitness.
Time frame: Assessed at week 0 and week 6
The plank test will be used to assess changes in fitness. The longer the plank is held, the greater the muscular endurance of the participant.
Time frame: Assessed at week 0 and week 6
data from participants' phone settings will be used to capture daily screen time. Participants will navigate to their screen time settings, where a comprehensive and objective report of their weekly screen time (including average daily screen time) is available. Here, participants will screenshot this data and airdrop it to a secured IU dropbox location.

Time frame: Assessed at week 0 and week 6
participants will complete the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale to assess social media addiction.
Time frame: Assessed at week 0 and week 6
The Color-Word trial from the Stroop Color and Word Test will be delivered on an iPad/tablet to participants to measure inhibitory control.
Time frame: Assessed at week 0 and week 6
The Body Satisfaction Questionnaire (BSQ) will be completed to assess participants satisfaction of their body shape.
Time frame: Assessed at week 0 and week 6
The Body Appreciation Scale (version 2) (BAS-2) will be completed to assess participants' appreciation of their bodies.
