Summary

This study tested a 12-week family program to help children and their parents move more, sit less, and sleep better. The program included weekly digital tips and three in-person activity sessions. Researchers measured changes in physical activity and fitness in 136 parent-child pairs from three schools in Chile. The goal is to see if this family-based approach can promote healthier daily habits.
