Program Rationale
Physical inactivity (PA) is a growing problem among youth in all ethnic groups. It has been associated to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases during adulthood (Andersen et al., 2008). Moreover, it can contribute to obesity and it is suspected to cause a negative effect in academic achievement among this population (Tomporowski, Davis, Miller, & Naglieri, 2008). Obesity among children is an public health issue, its prevalence has increased from 13.05% to 15.21% since 1998 (Centers For Diseases Control And Prevention, 2012) According to the School Polices and Programs Study (Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention, 2000), 8% of elementary schools provide 150 minutes of physical education per week. Since students spend an average of 180 days within elementary school setting, innovative, multimodal and theory- grounded programs should be implemented to decrease morbidity associated to the lack of physical activity in children and adolescents.
Nowadays, many approaches have been suggested to address the lack of physical activity among this population (Kriemler et al., 2010; Toftager, Christiansen, Kristensen, & Troelsen, 2011; Donnelly et al., 2013). The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has published guidelines to promote healthy eating and physical activity in school settings. Educational materials and a strategic multimodal approach are available for school districts at the CDC website. In addition, the CDC has designed for kids 9-13 years old a friendly website that encourages them to make healthy choices (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011) . The Body and Mind (BAM!) online destination also provides resources for teachers. In general, most of the programs to improve physical activity among children will combine more than one intervention (CDC, 2013).
According to the 2011 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) the prevalence of attending physical activity classes daily did not change significantly from the 2009 survey (33.3%) to 2011 (31.5%). Contrarily, the prevalence of using computers has progressively incremented during the past years 2005-2011 (21.1%- 31.1%) (CDC, 2011). The integration of technology during the 21st century is a new variable to take into account while designing and implementing health promotion programs among the new generations.

Integration of technology tools is a core component in a 21st century classroom (Partnership for 21st. Century Skills, 2011). Using Internet, mobile devices, video games and social networks is becoming a standard practice among younger generations. This is a skill that students must develop to function in our environment. Although some scholars have associated using videogames and technology devices to sedentary lifestyle; the growing use of technology has not been constrained by these reports. The incorporation of exergames in school curricula is a technology a tool that has been effectively integrated (Staino & Calvert, 2012). Therefore, the purpose of this project is to develop a technology based program to promote increased participation in physical activity.
There are multiple factors that determine participation in physical activity (Sallis & Owen, 1995). It is important to design and implement a multimodal program that targets more than one factor at the time (Toftager, Christiansen, Kristensen, & Troelsen, 2011) . The proposed physical activity program integrates technology and a socio-ecological model. Socio-ecological models have been used to have a better understanding about the numerous factors and behaviors that act as obstacles to physical activity participation. These models have been effective in improving physical activity in other populations (Sallis & Owen, 1995). Therefore, the TECH- Girls Physical Activity Program will be grounded in a social ecological model, but will combine other components: T- Technology Integration, E- Ecological model component, C -Collaboration component, H -Healthy Habits Component. This program will target girls in 4th- 5th grade and will be pilot tested in a representative sample of the school district before a generalized implementation. This intervention promises to be successful because will simultaneously target different factors that influence physical activity and will integrate an innovation (technology).
Program Overview
The TECH-Girls Physical Activity Program will be added to the mandatory physical education lessons that are part of the elementary schools curriculum. The intervention will have three 60 minutes TECH- Girl sessions per week during the yearlong program. The core activities included in the program will be carried out by the titular teacher. Teachers will have training before implementing the program in their classrooms. Moreover, they will have a monthly meeting to report program activities. The TECH- girls program will be founded by a grant that the State Board of Education has received from a governmental organization.
Theoretical Underpinnings
As it has been mentioned the TECH- Girls program is a multimodal and theory grounded intervention; some activities will be applicable for more than one component.
1. Technology Integration: elementary schools will need to create a virtual environment (Web Site/ Blog) for students. This Web Site will be the principal tool of communication between students and teachers. Students will have a chat room and an electronic physical activity journal. The Web Site will function as a repository of short tutorials about different physical activities that students can perform. In addition students will have a personal account where they will register their physical activities (electronic dairy).
2. Ecological Model
a. Individual/intrapersonal level , students will receive a 15 minutes introductory educational presentation during each session. Topics will be orientated to improve student’s knowledge of being physically active. In addition, students will receive remainders of the importance of being active through the program website.
b. Interpersonal (social) environment factor : parental participation will be essential for this program. Students will be asked to complete TECH-Girls physical activity homework weekly. Parents will need to sign a form that certifies that students completed the assigned activity. The weekly homework will consist in following a 10-minutes exercise routine that will be able at the program’s website. A new 10 minutes routine will be uploaded every week. A second activity for this component consists in building a social network within the website. Students will need to share at least one learned lesson about physical activity and encourage other students to be motivated about the program.
c. Physical Environment : In addition to the outdoor facilities (play grounds and sporting grounds, gymnasiums) every school will need to assign an indoor TECH-Girls room. This room will be equipped with technology devices (such as Wii or applicable device) that allow students to practice exergames during the program sessions.
d. Policy Environment : Administrative personnel at each elementary school will implement policies that encourage student participation. A token system points will be used to each activity within the TECH-Girls program. By the end of the scholar year students who complete the program will receive recognition from the school principal (diploma).
Partnerships and Collaborations: Since the program will be implemented in different elementary schools, online collaboration will be encouraged among teachers and students. They will be able to share learned lessons about the program Website. Moreover, there will be a one-day TECH-Girls Conference at the end of the year program. Parents, teachers and students from all the participant elementary schools will be encouraged to present their ideas by developing TECH-Physical activity projects; awards will be available for the most innovative projects.
Healthy Habits. Although the TECH-Girls program main focus is to encourage physical activity, student will receive information about healthy eating habits through the program. The educational presentation will include the “Healthy Habit of the week”. For example, Week 1: “Drinking water is the best option for a TECH-Girl”. Students will receive remainders (through the program website) about the importance of preferring water over other drinks.
TECH-Girls PROGRAM OVERVEIW
Strategic Plan
Mission. The mission of the TECH-Girls program is to encourage elementary school students to be physically active throughout the week
Goals. The goal of the TECH-Girls Program is to increase elementary school student time spent in physical activity by incorporating technology tools and exergames sessions throughout the week.
Objectives:
1. At least 95% of elementary schools girls (4th-5th grade) from the Shelby County School District will participate in a 30-minute exergame session presented by the TECH-Girls program at least twice a week during the yearlong program.
2. At least 95% of elementary schools girls (4th-5th grade) from the Shelby County School District will participate in technology related activities by using the a 30- TECH-Girls website at least five times a week during the yearlong program.
3. By the end of the one year program 95% of elementary schools students will be able to list at least three benefit of physical activity by using exergames presented by TECH-Girls program.
4. By the end of the program 95% of girls will report at least a 25% increase in time spent in weekly physical activity.
Program Strategies
· Website Interactive opportunities for students and parents

Program evaluation
Baseline and follow up measurements will be taken to assess effectiveness of the TECH- Girls Program (Figure 1). Pre-validated questionnaires will be delivered to parents and students to report physical activity. In addition the number of log-in activity to the websites will be counted for each participant. The electronic diary of physical activity will be used to determine the time that has been spent in physical activities for each participant. Finally, anthropometric measures will also be included during the program evaluation.
