"A four-month intervention will be implemented, led by the PE teacher, with three sessions per week. These sessions will last 45 minutes each (Koolwikh et al., 2023), divided into 5 minutes of warm-up, 35 minutes of intervention content, and 5 minutes of return to calm.~The program content of the intervention group will contemplate a warm-up with several activities, such as dancing or games. The intervention part will be composed of circuit-based exercises with several stations and games involving locomotion skills, namely run, gallop, slide, skip, jump, hop, etc.; games that integrate manipulative skills, such as throwing, catching, kicking, punting, striking, rolling and bouncing/dribbling; balance games involving swinging, turning, pulling, etc. Games involving perceptual motor skills, such as body schema, laterality, temporality, and spatiality, and games focused on PA. The return to calm will include activities such as yoga, meditation, and flexibility."
