2.2.3. The GT Intervention
Briefly, this GT game aimed to promote daily PA among children over a one-month period, encouraging the class group to reach the symbolic equivalent of 38,000 km, representing an entire tour around the globe. Every single movement counted and every 15 min of movement corresponded to approximately one km. Each child, along with their entire class, attended four educational classes over the course of the month dedicated to the promotion and consciousness of healthy active living. Each child had a “travel book” in which they indicated objectives and how they would encourage friends and family to get involved and active. The activity time of each child and their entourage was then converted in km and cumulated, making GT a collaborative game.
