ii Description/ name of Intervention/article

The Assessment for Learning (AfL) in Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) (A+FMS) intervention is designed to promote Fun, Mastery and Support in learning FMS for primary schoolchildren in Hong Kong utilizing a cluster randomized controlled trial. Primary 3 students from 10 classes (from 5 schools) will be recruited, and half of them will be randomly assigned into the experimental group. The competence motivation theory provides a framework for the intervention emphasizing fun activities to develop basic fundamentals, improving mastery of movement, and providing support for teaching and learning. Primary outcomes measures are changes in scores of eight fundamental movement skills, measured with the Test for Gross Motor Development -3rd edition (TGMD-3) during school PE. Secondary outcomes include: enjoyment in PE, perceived physical competence, perceived skill competence, and social support. Teachers in the experimental group are required to attend a 6-hour teacher workshop, and integrate 500 min of assessment for learning strategies into their PE lessons. Resources such as video clips and skills checklists will also be provided to help support children to accumulate extra learning and practice time at home. Comparison between baseline and follow-up scores on 6 fundamental movement skills will be made across the experimental and control group to determine the intervention effects in a school setting.

iii Dosage form of the intervention
