Effects of a teacher-led social cognitive theory-based multicomponent movement education program on preschoolers’ fundamental movement skills and physical activity: the PA-REALITY cluster-randomized controlled trial
The PA-REALITY intervention improved some FMS outcomes and MVPA at 10 months. These results highlight the important roles of teachers in developing children's movement skills and PA. Continuous professional development training for teachers may be an effective and sustainable way to improve existing practices.
