What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Implementation strategy for active learning (teacher training, leadership training, monthly newsletter)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide schools with a practical way to increase children's daily physical activity during class time.
What could go wrong: This is a feasibility study, not a large-scale trial. Results may not apply to all schools, and the impact on actual physical activity may be modest.
