Study summary

Rebirth active SCHOOL 2.0 is a physical activity intervention program and about to be realised at 40 primary schools in Lower Saxony Germany.

Half of all schools will be assigned to the intervention program or to wait for one year before starting with the movement program. After one and two years, the follow up will take place. After completing baseline examinations (i.e. physical and cognitive functions, physical activity questionnaires) the intervention program will start for one year.

The intervention program is going to be designed with the goal of implementing physical activity of 60 minutes per day. For the main module of movement impulses, the pupils will perform a 5-minute exercise in every lesson, realised by the teachers.
