Project description

As secondary schoolgirls are many hours sedentary and not sufficiently physically active, the development of an intervention in this group is important. The intervention will use a participatory health research approach by actively involving the girls in the entire research process.The final aim is to provide a prototype with the most important intervention strategies to change behaviour among secondary schoolgirls.
