The Effect of the Physical Activity Program Developed According to the Precede-Proceed Model on the Physical Activity Level and Physical Activity Behavior of Elementary School Students

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.

Treatment and study plan

Experimental: Physical activity program

Behavioral

In consultation with school administrators and classroom teachers, a physical activity program was implemented so that students' classes would not be disrupted.

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.
