Primary

MeasureTime frame
Physical activity, specifically the intensity of movement en the total time of movement. With accelerometers the intensity and duration of movement is measured once a week at 20 children. These children are chosen randomly. The objective measurements are supported by observation of the SOPLAY method, in which the condition of the played area, as well as the valued intensity of movement is notated.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
A questionnaire is used to stipulate the demographic variables and fysical activities outside schooltime. This questionnaire is integrated in the Eurofittest which is taken to stipulate the fysical fittness. There is also a process-evaluation with the teachers, children and parents, carried out with questionnaires and interviews.
