Intervention model description
In consultation with school administrators and classroom teachers, a physical activity program was implemented so that students' classes would not be disrupted. Exercises in the program include light and moderate movements that may be performed by a healthy student between the ages of 9 and 11. Sport physicians have advised that there is no need for any health screening, as children's hearts, pulses, and muscles are not affected by light and moderate exercises. The exercises were carried out three days a week for 30 minutes in the school garden and gym by the same researcher, and the education was carried out in the classrooms one day a week. The researcher performing the exercises received education in an earlier study that included physical exercises and yoga movements. During the program, students did a total of 180 hours of physical activity.
