Study Overview
Brief Summary
The present study aims to investigate the effect of the physical activity program developed according to the Precede-Proceed Model on children's physical activity level and physical activity self-efficacy, attitude, enjoyment level, and exercise change behaviors. This study was conducted in an experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. Considering the possibility of data loss during the research, 178 students between the ages of 9 and 11 were included in the study, 89 in the intervention group and 89 in the control group. The exercises were carried out three days a week for 30 minutes in the school garden and gym, and the training was carried out in the classrooms one day a week.

Arms & Interventions
Physical Activity Program
The physical activity program consists of two parts: exercise and education. Exercises in the program include light and moderate movements that may be performed by a healthy student between the ages of 9 and 11. The exercises were carried out three days a week for 30 minutes in the school garden and gym by the same researcher, and the education was carried out in the classrooms one day a week. During the program, students did a total of 180 hours of physical activity. In addition, the students' teachers also participated in the program and did exercises with their students. Throughout the program, exercises included 'belly and abdominal movement sets' in the first four weeks, 'leg and hip movement sets' in the following four weeks, and 'arms, shoulder, and chest movement sets' in the final four weeks, as well as yoga movements.
Intervention: Experimental: Physical activity program (Behavioral)
Control Group
Measurements and questionnaires were applied to the control group.
