Investigating the impact of a novel movement behavior program for refugee youths in Canada: the IPLAY program
Overall, the present study is encouraging, providing initial support for community-based programs to aid in the PL development among newcomer youths to Canada. Future trials with larger and more diverse samples of newcomers are needed to further demonstrate the efficacy of PL-based programs such as IPLAY.
