Summary
This study tested whether waiving fees for youth sports programs and adding intensive family outreach could help low-income children ages 6-12 get more physical activity. About 430 kids from 20 parks in Minneapolis and Saint Paul took part over two years. The goal was to see if these changes increased daily moderate-to-vigorous activity and reduced sedentary time.
