Summary
Physical inactivity is a leading cause of disease in Australia. Working with the NSW Department of Education, this project aims to increase children’s activity and improve their health. Involving 200 primary schools, we will examine teachers’ adoption of the program and its impact on children’s fitness, well-being and academic performance. The project will provide the evidence and framework for the Department to promote physical activity throughout NSW and a model for adoption in other states.
