Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

235 / 5.000 Investigators aimed to reduce the risk of obesity by trying a new intervention method that is role-play based, interactive and fun with age-appropriate play materials, considering that learning through play is more efficient.

Detailed Description

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

It was aimed to reduce the risk of obesity by trying a new intervention method based on role-play, interactive and fun with age-appropriate game materials, considering that learning through play is more efficient.

Two schools were determined as control and intervention groups. An 8-week interactive-game-based intervention program will be applied to children in the intervention group who are at risk for obesity. The program was shaped by a physician-dietician-psychologist and a professional theater actor.

Family Nutrition and Physical Activity (FNPA) score, Food index (FI) score and BMI will be grouped for each child and a risk score will be calculated based on the total score they receive. It will be checked whether there is a decrease in this score after the training.
