Treatments and study arms
BasketballRx
BasketballRx is a youth health and wellness program that combines interactive health education with structured basketball activities. The program teaches healthy habits related to nutrition, hydration, sleep, physical activity, mindfulness, and stress management while providing age-appropriate basketball activities that promote physical activity and teamwork. Participants complete six sessions over approximately two months.
Primary outcomes
BMI will be calculated from measured height and weight and expressed in kg/m². BMI will be assessed at baseline (prior to the BasketballRx intervention) and at approximately 2 months after completion of the intervention. Change in BMI will be calculated as the post-intervention BMI minus the baseline BMI.
