Comparing the impact of “The Daily Mile™” vs. a modified version on Irish primary school children's engagement and enjoyment in structured physical activity

Nevertheless, modifying the initiative to include greater variety has the potential to offer broader health benefits, longer engagement, and increased enjoyment. Future research should explore the long-term implementation of this modified version in schools.
