classroom during 10-min break in health classes for 8 weeks. The outcome indicators, BMI, PACE score, and GPA were measured at, before, and after Let’s Move program. Paired t tests were used to compare the outcome measures before and after the proposed practice change within the participant group. Thirty-eight freshman completed the program. Results showed significant differences in GPA and PACE but no significant difference in body weight status. The Larrabee’s model for change to evidence-based practice successfully provided a stepwise approach for planning, implementing, and evaluating this evidence based project. Project results will be disseminated to school administration with anticipation of inclusion of physical activity breaks for every classroom for the future.
