Reducing sedentary behaviour in school children
This study looks at ways to help children in Portuguese public schools sit less and move more during the school day. If your child joins, they will be part of a program to encourage more physical activity, which may improve their health and well-being.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be enrolled in a Portuguese public school.
- You (a parent or guardian) must give written permission for your child to take part.
- Your child must agree to participate and be able to do light to moderate physical activity in school.
- Your child must not have any medical or physical condition that makes physical activity unsafe.
- Your child must not have cognitive or developmental conditions that would make following the program difficult.
- Your child must not be in another physical activity or behavioral research study at the same time.
