Summary

This study tested an 8-week school program to help 1,000 adolescents (ages 10-17) sit less during breaks. The program included leaflets, teacher guidance, and peer reminders. Researchers measured how much students interrupted sitting time and their physical activity levels. The goal is to see if simple school-based changes can reduce sedentary behavior.
