Abstract:
We promoted children's physical activity through a municipal and behaviour-modifying approach in districts with deprived backgrounds. Using regular lessons, movement activities were performed with 316 pupils in their district once a month for 2 years. Meetings of involved parents, teachers and municipal representatives were held every 2 months to improve playgrounds and areas suitable for children's leisure activities. Questionnaires showed children's well-being to be correlated with physical outdoor activity, social contact with friends, regular dinners on school days and lower TV consumption.
