This proposal will address the existent gaps in the literature by identifying barriers and
facilitators to participation in physical activity in inner-city minority elementary
schoolchildren with asthma, more that half of whom are also overweight; developing and
refining a school-based intervention in partnership with the community to improve physical
activity; and conducting a pilot randomized controlled trial of the intervention to determine
feasibility and obtain preliminary data for a future large-scale trial.

Four schools have been recruited for pilot wait-listed cluster randomized clinical trial to
determine feasibility for a large-scaled trial. Community-based participatory research
approach was utilized to develop an intervention that will be delivered to two schools. Two
control schools will receive intervention during year 2 of the study.
