movement behaviors
A short-term, multi-component, behavioral, educational intervention targeting movement behaviors called the Globe Trotter Initiative, while unable to impact physical activity level and overall fitness, led to beneficial effects on primary-school-aged children’s sedentary time and implicit preference for physical over sedentary activities. Further studies evaluating the longer effects of the Globe Trotter program and similar interventions are needed. Similarly, future studies should better consider the baseline physical and behavioral profile of the children in order to developed individualized intervention targeting the specific needs of the children.
