Interventions

BEHAVIORALMulticomponent school-based intervention.

Physically active learning: this type of intervention is carried out once a week for 1 hour outside the classroom. The teachers of the corresponding subject (with the support of the research team) are in charge of the physically active classes. Active break: the intervention consists of 2 active pauses per day. The development of each pause is carried out through a specific digital platform in which students follow the instructions of an avatar, who is in charge of guiding the realization of the active break. Each active break takes a total of 4 minutes, in which two sets of 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest of four different exercises are performed. Active break: The intervention consists of a daily active break, every school day of the week. The design and supervision of each active break will be carried out by the support technician and the teaching staff based on the students' tastes.
