摘要：

Objectives: Our objective was to evaluate a school sports program in a subarctic First Nations (FN) community for process and outcomes over 9 months. Methods: Changes in anthropometry, physical activity (PA) and fitness from pre-to post-program were tested using bootstrapped paired-samples t-tests. Qualitative data on successes and challenges were analyzed thematically. Results: Fifty-seven youth (12.8 +/- 1.0 years, 59.6% boys) participated in at least one measure. Despite resource constraints, many mitigating strategies were developed. Post-program, youth increased participation in moderate-to-vigorous PA by 47.9 minutes/day (p =.016). Boys completed an additional 10.5 shuttle run stages (p =.006). Muscular strength improved by 8.2 kg for boys (p =.002) and 5.6 kg for girls (p =.012). Conclusions: A sports program in a FN school was sustainable and associated with increased PA and fitness, especially among boys.
