PhD thesis

The thesis describes the design of two physical activity interventions build on prior research in embodied learning, exercise and cognition.

School stakeholders have been involved in the process to make interventions feasible to implement into the school context of 3rd grade.

Further a study in implementation outcomes of the two interventions have been conducted to gain knowledge of the feasibility of the two interventions. This have led to the refinement and expansion of the interventions to a protocol for a larger 3- armed RCT-study.
