Out-of-school interventions for engaging youth in healthy eating and physical activity: A systematic review
Abstract
Over the past three decades, obesity rates have skyrocketed, especially for children. As the prevalence of obesity continues to rise, age-appropriate interventions to increase child health are critical. With larger demands placed on schools, alternative venues, such as the out-of-school time, holds a considerable promise for increasing physical activity levels, healthy eating behavior and self-efficacy in children.
