A school-based physical activity promotion intervention in children: rationale and study protocol for the PREVIENE Project
The lack of physical activity and increasing time spent in sedentary behaviours during childhood
place importance on developing low cost, easy-toimplement school-based interventions to increase physical
activity among children. The PREVIENE Project will evaluate the effectiveness of five innovative, simple, and feasible
interventions (active commuting to/from school, active Physical Education lessons, active school recess, sleep health
promotion, and an integrated program incorporating all 4 interventions) to improve physical activity, fitness,
anthropometry, sleep health, academic achievement, and health-related quality of life in primary school children. The PREVIENE Project will provide the information about the effectiveness and implementation of
different school-based interventions for physical activity promotion in primary school children.The PREVIENE Project was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and
Competitiveness (DEP2015-63988-R, MINECO-FEDER).
