NCT ID NCT07451535
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
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.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward simple, low-cost ways to help teens be more active during school breaks.
What could go wrong
