The Happy 10 programme significantly increased physical activity in primary students, promoting growth and aiding obesity control. This intervention positively impacted girls' physical development and reduced overweight prevalence.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Public Health
  • Exercise Science

Background:

  • Childhood obesity is a growing public health concern.
  • Promoting physical activity in schools is crucial for student health.
  • Limited research exists on structured physical activity programs in Chinese primary schools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the Happy 10 programme's impact on primary students' physical activity.
  • To assess the programme's effect on physical growth, development, and obesity prevention.
  • To determine the programme's effectiveness in a Chinese primary school setting.

Main Methods:

  • A quasi-experimental design comparing an intervention school with a control school in Beijing.
  • Implementation of the Happy 10 programme daily for two semesters in the intervention school.

  • Measurement of physical activity (questionnaire, monitors), height, weight, and BMI.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant increases in daily physical activity duration and energy expenditure in the intervention group.
    • Significant decreases in weight and BMI changes were observed in girls within the intervention group compared to controls.
    • A reduction in overweight and obesity prevalence in the intervention school, contrasting with an increase in the control school.

    Conclusions:

    • The Happy 10 programme is an effective strategy for promoting physical activity in primary school children.
    • The programme positively influences girls' physical growth and development.
    • School-based physical activity interventions are vital for combating childhood obesity.
