First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a six-week multimedia education program could improve hydration knowledge and drinking behavior in 204 first-grade children (ages 6-7) in Tunisia. Twelve classes were randomly assigned to either receive the program during PE or continue as usual. Researchers measured hydration knowledge, whether children drank water during PE, and body weight changes. The goal was to see if engaging lessons could turn knowledge into action.
