What was accomplished under these goals?
The project met Objective 1. A field-tested and peer-reviewed sport nutrition curriculum is available online for free through Oregon State University Extension. A virtual world named Rippleville was built and field-tested. Unfortunately, Rippleville could not be sustained when funding ran out. We produced detail documentation for Rippleville design, and machinimas of various activities to showcase the virtual learning environment. Because the cost for making a low-cost wearable sensor in-house was beyond what we budgeted, we decided to use Fitbit Zip to integrate with our cloud-based data management system called WavePipe. The project completed Objective 2. We completed both the pilot study and intervention study (also called the WAVE Study). Among the 864 high school soccer players recruited for the 2y intervention, 620 enrolled, and about half completed the 2y study. Some of the attrition were due to senior graduation and participants no longer play soccer during the 2y intervention. The project completed Objective 3. Results were published and presented via journals and professional conferences (local, state, national and international), and program resources are being shared through the project website. At baseline, Latino youth had significantly higher added sugar intake (+14g/day, p<0.01) than non-Latinos. At the end of the 2y intervention, mean added sugar intake significantly decreased among the intervention group by 12.1g/day (p=0.02). Organized sports are imporant in contributing to youth daily physical activity (PA). Targeting active youth in a diet/PA intervention improves diet but out of soccer season youth need engagement to maintain PA.

Target Audience:Our primary audience is high school athletes 14-19 years old in Oregon. The secondary primary audience is their caregivers. In this reporting period, we especially focused on analyzing data collected from these audiences in the past three years. We did not work directly with them except for the WAVE Sports Mobile Game Study and WAVE Parent Study. Changes/Problems:During this reporting period, we requested and were approved for a no-cost extension. As a result, the project will now end December 31, 2018. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Two graduate students completed their theses during this period: Yu Meng (2018) PhD Nutrition Science Thesis: WAVE~Ripples for Change Obesity Two-Year Intervention in High School Soccer Players: Process Evaluation, Best Practices, and Youth Engagement.

(poster) What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Note: The next reporting periods are divided into two parts: (1) the approved, first no-cost extension (NCE#1) period of June 1 to December 31, 2018, and (2) the second no-cost extension period (NCE#2) being request for December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019. NCE#1 (6/1/18 - 12/31/18) Mobile game app storyboard prototype development - During participant feedback, we learned that youth would strongly prefer a sports mobile game app, especially with coaching. Thus in year 5, we started developing a mobile game app wireframe and storyboard prototype and enrolled 12 high school athletes as our co?designers for this co-creation process. The WAVE team, consultants, and the co?designers will design the wireframe and storyboard together in the next reporting period. 2. Analyze results, disseminate findings, and share program resources. Work for the project to complete in year 6 in this area are: a. Analyze and publish findings for the Parent Project. b. Peer-review manuscript publications. We will submit 2-3 more peer-review manuscripts to the Nutrients journal. c. Travel to present intervention findings at conferences. We have five abstracts accepted at conferences that will be held in Jun-Oct 2018. These include the International Society of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity (ISBNPA) in June, Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior (SNEB) in July, National Extension Association of Family & Consumer Sciences (NEAFCS) and Oregon Public Health Association (OPHA) in October. These conferences will provide excellent opportunities for sharing WAVE results and resources. d. High School Sports Nutrition Curriculum and OSU Extension Experiment Station Communication Office (EESC) for public dissemination. During this period, we will work with OSU's EESC to finalize the publication of it in the OSU Extension Catalog. It will include a variety of media, such as handouts and videos. This is an excellent way to share our resource with other programs and the public. e. WAVEpipe cloud-based management system integration and dissemination. WAVEpipe has great potential to be used well beyond the WAVE project. During this reporting period we will conduct more discussions with additional stakeholders, field test it with research projects and to attract other collaborators. NCE#2 (12/31/18 - 12/31/19) We need more time for effective and impactful dissemination: 3. Training Workshops. We publish the WAVE Sport Nutrition Curriculum on Sep 4, 2018 through Oregon State University Extension Experimental Communication System. More time is needed for dissemination, particularly training workshops within and outside of Extension, e.g., OSU Family and Community Health & 4-H Spring Conference in Mar 2019. 4. Conferences. Present more findings at local, statewide, national and international conferences, e.g., at OSU Extension annual conference, National 4-H (April 2019), SCAN (April 2019), ISBNPA (June 2019), SNEB (July 2019), NEAFCS and OPHA (Sep/Oct 2019) 5. Scholarship/Publications. Our research team continues to analyze the data and will greatly benefit from having more time for scholarship and peer-reviewed publication. 6. Resource Marketing and Promotion. In addition to making email announcements to our professional network, we will work with OSU Extension Experimental Station Communications to update and manage our secure, user-friendly web page to disseminate WAVE research and educational materials. We will also analyze the web analytics to optimize our dissemination effort.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
Note: This reporting period is from June 1, 2017 to May 31, 2018. The project year was changed to be June to May as the initial funds were dispersed on June 1, 2013. This reporting period focused on data analysis, publication and dissemination. We also worked on the WAVE Sports Mobile Game Study and WAVE Parent Study. We worked with OSU Extension and Experiment Station Communications (EESC) to publish the WAVE Sports Nutrition Curriculum in the OSU Extension Catalog. It includes a variety of media, such as PowerPoint slides with presenter notes, handouts, interactive quizzes, and videos. A blind review of the curriculum by two external reviewers was completed in early summer 2018. We presented findings at conferences and published several articles. See sections below for specifics. With IRB approval, we conducted the WAVE Parent Study among 30 female parents of Latino soccer players who had previously participated in our study. We began analyzing the data collected. Based on youth participant feedback, we learned that they prefer a game that can be played in a group setting. In Year 5, we began developing the Rough Mudder 3-D animation game prototype, an adaptation of Rippleville (virtual world environment) for the classroom setting. Additional participant feedback informed the VLE team that active youth would strongly prefer a mobile game. Thus in Year 5, we started developing a mobile game app wireframe and storyboard prototype. We obtained IRB approval and recruited high school athletes as participants. We enrolled 32 youth who play high school sports and have some experience with social media in the project. All 32 completed an online survey entitled "Gamer Motivation Profile "developed by Nick Yee. This provided us a pool of high school athletes with a variety of gamer motivation profiles. From this pool, we selected a subset of 12 youth who represent a diversity of motivation profiles to continue to be a part of the WAVE Sports Mobile Game Development Study. They will be co?designers for this co-creation process. WAVEpipe, our cloud-based data management and communication system which has great potential to be used well beyond the WAVE project, is attracting co?sponsors, such as human health studies research center directors, OSU Extension Outreach and Engagement, and potentially Oregon Outdoor Schools. We identified a server to host this customizable system indefinitely here at OSU. The Project PIs were invited to meet with OSU computing system directors to discuss higher level integration for big data collection, management, and analyses, in collaboration with the Center for Genome Research and Biocomputing. Our Team-Building Workshop curriculum received second place in the NEAFCS Western Region "Innovation in Programming Award".

Target Audience:Our primary audience is youth athletes 14-19 years old in Oregon. The secondary primary audience is their caregivers. This reporting period we especially focused on the youth that participated in the second year of the full WAVE intervention study. Changes/Problems:1. Because high school soccer is played by a diverse group of youth, over the course of the study we collected a vast amount of data on a both ethnically and social-economically diverse group of youth and their parents. This lead us to design the WAVE Parent Study, which will interview mothers of Latino youth in our project. We hope to gather information on barriers and facilitators of parent and family support of physical activity by Latino youth. 2. Initially Rippleville was designed to be an activity that participants did at home on their own computers. During the WAVE study we learned that active youth who do a team sport are more interested in social, group activities. As a result, the focus of Rippleville became the Rough Mudder Game, which simulates a competitive race and is designed to be played in a classroom setting as re-enforcement of nutrition and health life style lessons. 3. Feedback from the youth and coaches was that they would like a mobile game that they could do on their smart phones. As a result, we began developing a Sports Mobile Game Development Study to create a mobile game adaptation of Rippleville. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?1. 10 graduate students worked on various aspects of the project this year. The face-to-face nutrition lessons continued to be delivered by a MPH graduate student who is a former college soccer athlete. She was assisted by an additional MPH student. Four Taiwanese graduate students assisted as part an exchange program. 2. 40 undergraduate students worked on the project this year. 25 of them helped during the summer day long camps on OSU campus and experienced real-life research. 3. Most participating intervention coaches attended the face-to-face nutrition lessons. Winter 2065, we held meetings with coaches. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?See publication list What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Note: The next reporting period will be for the 5th year of the project, June 1, 2017 to May 31, 2018. 1. The next reporting period will focus on data analysis, dissemination and publication. 2. We will work with OSU's Extension and Experiment Station Communications (EESC) to publish the WAVE Sports Nutrition Curriculum in the Extension catalog. This will include handouts, videos, etc. 3. We will conduct the WAVE Parent Study. 4. Develop a Sports Mobile Game Development Study within the WAVE project. Obtain IRB approval and work with high school athletes.

What was accomplished under these goals?
Note this reporting period is from June 1, 2016 to May 31, 2017. The project year was changed to be June to May as the intial funds were dispersed on June 1, 2013. 1. Completed the 2nd and final year of the full WAVE intervention project with both the implementation & comparison schools. This included: 1. Delivery of face-to-face nutrition lessons 8 - 11 with intervention participants 2. Further engage with intervention participants with Rippleville, the VLE created for the project. 3. The above face-to-face lessons and Rippleville were held for participating teams at a day long camp on OSU campus in late August. We provided health snacks and lunch, as well as gift incentives. Tours of campus and fun team building activities were also held. 4. Gardening Team Building Workshops were held with intervention participants the Fall of 2016. Our partners in this were Marion-Polk Food Share in the Salem area and Food for Lane County in the Eugene area. Participating youth spent an afternoon at their youth gardens harvesting and tasting produce grown on-site. 5. Three more rounds of the 7-day challenge with all participants. 6. End of project assessment data collection with all participants. 2. Developed and began IRB approval process for the WAVE Parent Study. The study will gather information on barriers and facilitators of parental/family support for physical activity of Latino youth. It will interview female parent/guardians of families that will represent the variety of experiences and behaviors among the Latino soccer players in our study. 3. Completed Rippleville and discussed designing a sports mobile game. (see last section Changes/Problems for more information about this).

Target Audience:Our primary target audience is youth athletes 14 to 19 years old in Oregon. The secondary target audience is their primary caregiver. This reporting period we are especially focusing on the youth and their caregivers in our second year of the pilot project and the first year of the full implementation project. Changes/Problems: We initially recruited seven high schools in the Salem area to participate in the full two-year WAVE implementation project. One high school dropped out during the summer of 2015 due to low participation in soccer and at one high school school, only the girls team participated as the boys coach felt he didn't have the ability to participate as he was a new coach. As a result, we added Eugene School District to the study. Our MPH student, who was the "Nutrition Coach" delivering the face-to-face lessons, had strong relationships with the coaches in that community. As a result, we were able to recruit and add these teams to the study relatively quickly. The project ran into difficulties producing the wearable sensor that was developed. The fabrication cost was considerably more than the project budgeted for. As a result, the wearable sensor was not manufactured. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? 12 graduate students worked on various aspects of the project this year. This includes theface-to-face nutrition lessons continued to be delivered by a MPH graduate student who is a former college soccer athlete. A second MPH student assisted her. Three Taiwanese graduate students assisted as part an exchange program. 30 undergraduate students worked on the project this year. Five were paid by OSU as part of OSU's URAP students (Undergraduate Research Awards Program). 14 were volunteers who received research or internship credit (a degree requirement for undergraduates in OSU's College of Public Health and Human Sciences). Many of them helped during the "mini-camps" and experienced real life research. Participating coaches attended theface-to-face nutrition lessons. Winter 2015, we held meetings with coaches and reviewed the project and information with them. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?We were invited by NIFA to showcase at the 4th USA Science & Engineering Festival, the largest and only national science festival, on April 15-17, 2016, in Washington D.C. 70,000 visitors came to our booth and it was tweeted by NIFA. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?During the next reporting period (June 1, 2016 to May 31, 2017) we will conduct the 2nd and final year of the full WAVE project with both the implementation & comparison schools. This will include: Three more rounds of the 7-day challenge with all participants. End of project assessment data collection with all participants. Delivery of lessons 8 - 11 with intervention participants Gardening TBW with intervention participants Further engage with intervention participants with Rippleville.

What was accomplished under these goals?
?NOTE: This 3rd year progress report is for the period of June 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016. The project year was changed to start June 1 as funds were distributed June 1, 2013. Expanded the project to include three high schools within the Eugene School District. Obtained Eugene School District approval and recruited coaches and teams to participate during the Fall of 2015. Recruited and enrolled 612 teen participants ages 14 to 19 in 48 high school teams for the full two-year WAVE implementation project in the Summer & Fall of 2015. This consisted of 33 intervention teams (n=451) and 15 comparison (n=161). The implementation teams were from high schools in Salem and Eugene and the comparison high schools were from towns in the surrounding area (Junction City, Independence, Stayton and Woodburn). Held 2 four hour "mini camps" at each full intervention teams' high schools August - October 2015. At these "mini camps" we did the following with the implementation participants: Conducted baseline data collection with youth on body composition and nutrition and physical activity (PA) behaviors and knowledge. Delivered face-to-face lessons 1-5 Introduced them to Rippleville Provided lunch, snacks and incentive gifts. We held 2 three-hour "mini camps" for pilot intervention participants at Crescent Valley High school in August 2015. At these "mini camps" we did the following with the pilot implementation participants: Delivered face-to-face nutrition/healthy life style lessons 8 to 11. Further introduced them to Rippleville Provided lunch, snacks and incentive gifts Conducted baseline assessments with new full WAVE comparison teams. At these assessments, we provided snacks and incentive gifts. Conducted three 7-day challenges (fall, winter & spring) with all the youth in both the pilot and full WAVE project. Held two team-building workshops (TBW) with full WAVE implementation participants. 14 sessions of Grocery Store Scavenger Hunt were held in the fall 12 sessions of Let's Cook were held in the spring. Collected end of year assessment data on full WAVE participants and end of project assessment data on pilot projects participants. Based upon our experiences with the pilot intervention group, we revised face-to-face lessons 8 to 11. Developed and video-recorded nutrition lessons 6 and 7 to be delivered on-line in Rippleville. Continued to develop wearable sensor embedded in athletic apparel. Developed a health report for individual participants that was distributed to all participants at the time when Fitbits were handed out for the next 7-day challenge round. This health report summarized the data collected at the previous 7-day challenge. It was integrated with the WAVEpipe system. Developed gardening TBW to be implemented Fall 2016.

Target Audience:Our primary target audience is youth athletes 14-19 years old in Oregon. The secondary target audience is their primary caregiver. High school soccer coaches will serve as our key channel of recruitment but will also receive sport nutrition information so they know what we are providing to the youth athletes. This reporting period we especially focused on the youth that participated in year one of our pilot project. Changes/Problems:We discovered that it was difficult to deliver the face-to-face lessons to the youth after soccer practice as was initially planned and carried out this year with the pilot intervention youth. They were often tired and distracted by early evening and anxious to get home for homework and dinner. In addition, teams' schedules frequently changed, which we could accommodate with only two teams but would not be able to when we go to scale next year. As a result, next year we will shift to holding "mini" half day soccer camps during August (2 per team), when high school soccer teams are practicing but school has not yet started, and deliver the programming to them then. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? The face-to-face lessons were delivered by a MPH graduate student who is a former college soccer athlete. Three OSU URAP students (Undergraduate Research Awards Program) worked on the project. A total of 17 undergraduate (some paid, some volunteer) and 10 graduate students worked on various aspects of the project this year. We held two meetings with the participating coaches from the Salem area in the Winter and Spring of 2015. During those meetings, nutrition and healthy life style information was shared with them. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?See the product section below for posters and papers presented at conferences. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?The next reporting period will beJune 1, 2015to May 31, 2016 Conduct the 2nd year of the pilot project. This will include: Deliver lessons 8 to 11 to pilot implementation participants. Conduct three 7-day challenges with all the youth in pilot. Further engage pilot intervention participants with Rippleville. Collect end of project assessment data on pilot projects participants. Conduct the 1st year of the full WAVE implementation project. This will include: Recruit and enroll teen participants for the full WAVE implementation project. Conduct baseline data collection with the full WAVE participants. Deliver lessons 1-5 to full WAVE implementation participants. Introduce Ripplevile to the full WAVE intervention participants. Conduct three 7-day challenges with all the youth in the full WAVE project. Hold two TBW with full WAVE implementation participants. Collect end of year assessment data on full WAVE participants. Additional activities to be carried out next year include: Develop lessons 6 and 7 to be delivered on-line in Rippleville. Further develop activiites within Ripppleville.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
This reporting period is June 1, 2014 to May 31, 2015. This is the second year of the project as funding was received June 1, 2013. Obtained approval from IRB for project years 2 - 5 in September 2014. Recruited and enrolled 52 teen participants ages 14 to 19 from five soccer teams at three high schools (HS) in two school districts (Corvallis and Lebanon) September & October 2014. Crescent Valley (CV) HS boys and girls teams were the implementation teams and Corvallis HS boys and Lebanon HS girls teams were the comparison teams. Conducted baseline data collection with pilot participants Fall 2014. All youth were assessed for body composition, as well as nutrition and physical activity (PA) behaviors and knowledge. Delivered four 30-minute face-to-face lessons of the high school sports nutrition curriculum to 26 pilot intervention youth participants Fall of 2014. Conducted three 7-day challenges with all the pilot youth participants (comparison and intervention), which includes wearing a body sensor (Fitbit) for PA measurement and recording daily diet behaviors. One challenge was conducted during the fall soccer season, one in the winter and one in the spring. Held several sessions at the CV high school computer lab and introduced Rippleville--a virtual 3-D avatar-simulated learning environment to reinforce the face-to-face lessons -- to intervention pilot participants. Held two Team Building Workshops (TBW; formerly called Booster lessons) for the pilot intervention youth. First one was "Iron Chef: Knife Skills" and the teens prepared food together. The second was the "Grocery Store Scavenger Hunt", where the teens learned about shopping and meal planning. Conducted year 1 exit assessments with all youth (comparison and intervention) in the pilot study. Worked on developing a device to measure PA and exercise intensity that would be a wearable sensor embedded in athletic apparel. Developed an application program interface (API) technique for downloading individual encrypted data from the Fitbits. Developed WAVEpipe for cloud-based data storage and communication with participants. Met with coaches and recruited teams for the full intervention that begins in project year 3. Gathered information during these meetings on how to best implement the curriculum with the intervention schools in year 3. Obtained approval from Salem School District to work with their high school soccer teams in year 3. Began recruiting teams within this school district for the full implementation. Based upon our experience delivering the face-to-face lessons, we further adapted and modified the lessons to be used with the full implementation project in year 3. Lessons for the second year of the pilot to be delivered in year 3 were also developed. All these lessons had the following characteristics: 1) educators are trained in both nutrition and exercise. When possible use college athletes, active students or former HS athletes who are nutrition, exercise science or PH majors to teach the soccer teams; 2) clickers and PPT slides are used; 3) hands on activities with food demonstrations are incorporated; 4) activities in the lessons are geared towards personalizing the information for the youth; 5) use of YouTube video clips; and 6) reinforced in RIppleville.

Progress 02/01/13 to 01/31/14
Outputs
Target Audience:Our primary target audience is youth athletes 14-19 years old in Oregon. The secondary target audeince is their primary caregiver. High school soccer coaches will serve as our key channel of recruitmen but will also receive sport nutrition information so they know what we are providing to the youth athletes. Changes/Problems:Funding was received June, 2013. As a result, the project year now is June 1 to May 31. This report is for June 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014. The next report will be for June 1, 2014 to May 31, 2015. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? Health team Lead by the Co-PI and the Post-doctoral Fellow began working with the gaming and data teams, learning the process of how to build educational games and transmit data remotely. This allow Post-doctoral fellow to begin developing a working relationship with the gaming and technical teams. Met with Salem High School Coaches who will be a part of the year three's full implementation to help them understand the importance of sport nutrition for the performance of their athletes and long-term health. Our Post-doctoral Fellow, and expert in sport nutrition, presented this information to the coaches. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?

What was accomplished under these goals?
Year 1: Funding arrived in June 2013. The project year we are reporting on is June 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014. Below we outline what was accomplished toward objective 1. Received fist year IRB approval. Developed and submitted protocol and other materials to IRB for years 2 - 5. Invited five professionals to be part of our advisory group (see bulleted list below along with their expertise). Each person invited has specific expertise required for our project. The advisory group then met in person in September 2013. Cintia Agulilar, MS. North Carolina State University. Latino Affairs Facilitator. Nobuko Kay Hongu, PhD, Med, RD. U of Arizona, Nutrition/PA Extension Specialist. Enette Larson-Meyer, PhD, RD, CSSD, FACSM. U of Wyoming. Nutrition and Exercise Expert. Greg Welk, PhD, FACSM. Iowa State University. Expert in measurement of physical activity (PA) using technology. Jonathon Richter, EdD. U of Montana. Technology expert. Developed topics and learning objectives of the PAN-FCS (shopping, cooking and gardening skills; sport nutrition knowledge and skills). This involved meeting with our partners who helping with these specific areas and meeting to determine how each will fit into the curriculum. Rewards, experiential learning, teaching activities, field trips to grocery stores and gardens were identified. Focus group with active high school teens (n=27) was held to identify teaching/learning strategies for delivering a PAN-FCS program. PAN-FCS lessons 1-5 were developed to be used in year 2 with pilot participants. Parallel OpenSim activities to reinforce learning objectives were developed. Identified and recruited three local high schools in two school districts and their soccer coaches to be a part of our pilot intervention, which will start in year 2. Received approval from both school districts (Corvallis School District and Lebanon School District) to work with them. Conducted field surveys with soccer players to determine level of smart phone use and gaming (n=173) Developed project teams around specific products/goas and began regular meetings (Health Assessments, Remote Sensing, Gaming, Data) assigned to accomplish various aspects of the grant. Met with a statistician regarding study design, sampling, and power calculations. Began regular meetings with Co-PIs in engineering to begin plan steps for developing wearable devices to track PA and then collect these data remotely. Began regular meetings with Co-PIs engaged in gaming to begin outlining our experiential gaming program (Rippleville). Health team met with gaming team to outline an overview for the game and provide them with nutrition information necessary to develop the game.
