Development and Feasibility of an Intervention to Increase Physical Activity Among Young Children

"The I'm an Active Hero (IAAH) programme is a 10-week intervention aimed at increasing physical activity and decreasing sedentary behaviour in preschool-aged (aged 3-5 years) children. It is anticipated to begin in February 2023 to May 2023. Assessments will be conducted at baseline and immediately following the intervention. The IAAH-intervention will be implemented by the preschool teachers, who will have two teacher training sessions with the main researcher (myself). The IAAH-intervention involves environmental modifications (a classroom) to create areas with sufficient space for active play; classroom sessions these will be implemented for 10 weeks (a minimum of one hour per week); and parent involvement, such as the provision of parental-child interaction homework activities and written information (tip cards, posters, and newsletters). for parents on how to encourage their children to be active."
