First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether removing the cost of youth sports programs and providing extra family support can help low-income children ages 6 to 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 increase active play and reduce sitting time.
