Abstract

There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that children’s physical activity decreases as they age, particularly during the transition from one school level to another. Project InterActive is a novel intervention designed to align physical activity messages and practices in a vertical cluster of schools. The aim of this evaluation was to determine the behavioural effects and perceptions associated with the implementation of Project InterActive between 2008 and 2010.
