Cover Story: Although schools appear to be ideal environments for promoting active lifestyles in adolescents, the recent literature shows that current interventions are ineffective and likely unsustainable. A number of these programmes are also being disseminated in settings different to those in which they were first developed; therefore, the balance between their adaptability and reliability is an implementation gap.
For this reason, this study aims to disseminate, implement, and evaluate an intervention with a multi-level approach involving all parts of the educational community: students, families, teachers, and policymakers. The research team together with the school’s staff developed the interventions by a co-creational process facilitated by local policymakers. View this paper
