Before and after school programmes
Zhou 2019 Junior high school students, grade 7 I1: Biweekly after school program Regular PE (2 days per week) 32 weeks % of time spent sedentary: MD 1.34 (95% CI: ‐0.73, 3.41)
I1: m 75.74 (sd 8.81)
Control: m 74.40 (sd 10.80)
% time reported, not min/day
  I2: Enhanced PE (3 days per week) plus after school program Regular PE (2 days per week) 32 weeks % of time spent sedentary: MD 0.11 (95% CI: ‐2.31, 2.54)
I2: m 74.51 (sd 11.95)
Control: m 74.40 (sd 10.80)
Authors note that statistically significant changes were found from baseline to follow‐up in the after school program only, however analyses were not described or presented
Enhanced PE
Lonsdale 2019a Grade 8 students Teacher PE training Standard teaching 7‐8 months % time spent sedentary: MD 0.92 (95% CI −0.28, 2.13)  % time reported, not min/day
      14‐15 months % time spent sedentary:  MD 0.02 (95% CI −0.99, 0.95)   
Ten Hoor 2018 Secondary school students, 11 to 15 years old Strength training and motivational interviewing Usual curriculum 1 year Between group difference in % of time spent sedentary, P = 0.715 % time reported, not min/day
           
Zhou 2019 Junior high school students, grade 7 I1: Enhanced PE (3 days per week) Regular PE (2 days per week) 32 weeks % of time spent sedentary: MD 1.11 (95%CI: ‐1.09, 3.31)
I1: m 75.51 (sd 9.64)
Control: m 74.40 (sd 10.80)
% time reported, not min/day
  I2: Enhanced PE (3 days per week) plus after school program Regular PE (2 days per week) 32 weeks % of time spent sedentary: MD 0.11 (95% CI: ‐2.31, 2.54)
I2: m 74.51 (sd 11.95)
Control: m 74.40 (sd 10.80)
Authors note that statistically significant changes were found from baseline to follow‐up in the after school program only group, however analyses were not described.
Multi‐component intervention
Corepal 2019 Students 12‐14 years old Pedometer challenge Usual school Baseline Intervention: m 449.6 min/day, IQR: 416.5, 524.3
Control: m 466.3 min/day, IQR: 410.0, 534.9
Feasibility trial therefore no statistical analyses performed
      22 weeks MD 1.2 min/day
Intervention: m 454.7 min/day, IQR: 405.7, 517.8
Control: m 453.5 min/day IQR: 399.8, 529.6
Variance cannot be calculated as only mean and interquartile range reported
