First published: 2007
Description: As children are becoming increasingly inactive and obese, there is an urgent need for effective early prevention and intervention programs. One solution is a comprehensive school health (CSH) program. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between different components of a CSH program, three determinants of health (gender, social support, and socio-economic status) and physical activity, on the aerobic fitness and body mass index of children.
