Summary
Adolescent physical inactivity is increasing in developing countries and contributes to poor physical and mental health. Latin American countries have developed successful methods to promote physical activity. The aim of this research is to assess if the Latin American approach is effective at improving the physical and mental health of Ugandans and Indigenous Australians. The results will indicate if these methods for promoting physical activity should be tried in other disadvantaged settings.
