Summary

This study looks at whether adding one structured 60-minute physical activity class each week for 12 weeks helps preschool children (ages 3-6) improve their overall movement, sleep, motor skills, thinking, and emotional control. About 80 children from a school in Portugal will take part, with some receiving the extra class and others following their usual routine. Researchers will measure changes using activity monitors and skill tests.
