| Current primary outcome measure as of 03/06/2024: Feasibility and sustainability of the measure evaluated through the pupils' adherence and subjective experiences of both pupils and teachers at 12-week follow-up. Assessed through focus group interviews at the 12-week follow-up. _____ Previous primary outcome measure: Feasibility and sustainability of the measure assessed through the pupils' adherence and subjective experiences of both pupils and teachers at 12-week follow-up | — |

| Current secondary outcome measures as of 03/06/2024: 1. Attention/concentration measured using Eriksen Flanker test and Stroop test at baseline and 12-week follow-up. 2. Heart rate measurements during 'MOVE'-breaks using Polar Team Pro System 3. Physical activity level measured using ActiGraph wGT3X-BT at baseline and 12-week follow-up. 4. Aerobic fitness measured using YMCA 3-minute step test at baseline and 12-week follow-up. 5. Muscle strength measured by i) standing long jump and ii) handgrip (dynamometer) at baseline and 12-week follow-up. 6. Postural balance measured by i) two-legs standing, eyes closed (30 s) and ii) one-leg standing, eyes open (30 s) at baseline and 12-week follow-up. 7. Flexbility measured by sit-and-reach test at baseline and 12-week follow-up. 8. Sleep measured by the four single-items derived from a modified version of the Karolinska Sleep Questionnaire at baseline and 12-week follow-up. 9. Wellbeing measured by the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing 7-item scale at baseline and 12-week follow-up. 10. Self-efficacy measured by a factor developed and constructed for Norwegian use by Sørlie and Nordahl (1998) from Bandura (2006) at baseline and 12-week follow-up. 11. Learning environment and social well-being in class measured by 13 items developed by Moos and Trickett (1974) and processed and translated to Norwegian by Sørlie and Nordahl (1998) and Ogden (1995) at baseline and 12-week follow-up. 12. Social isolation measured by 21 items constructed by Gresham and Elliott (1990) “Social skills rating system” which was later processed and translated to Norwegian by Sørlie and Nordahl (1998) at baseline and 12-week follow-up _____ Previous secondary outcome measures: 1. Attention/concentration measured using Eriksen Flanker test and Stroop test at baseline and 12-week follow-up. 2. Heart rate measurements during 'MOVE'-breaks using Polar Team Pro System 3.
