Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This initiative is a prospective study evaluating the effects of implementing physical activity strategies in Wisconsin schools with low socioeconomic status on childhood fitness. Forty-nine schools participated in the study providing de-identified fitness data for students for 3 consecutive years. Twenty-five schools initiated physical activity interventions in year one and 24 schools initiating physical activity interventions in year two.
