Study Summary
This trial is testing a new program to see if it increases physical literacy in young children. The program is designed to address the issue of childhood physical inactivity.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for families living in non-rural areas of Alberta or British Columbia with children aged 3-5. Parents must be comfortable with English and have a smartphone/tablet. It's not for those who've done PLAYshop trials before, don't have the right tech, or if the child has a condition affecting motor skills.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The PLAYshop program aims to get preschool kids more physically active by focusing on improving their movement skills and enjoyment of physical activities through parent involvement. The study checks if this program boosts kids' physical literacy compared to those who don't participate.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since PLAYshop is an educational and activity-based intervention rather than a medical treatment, it doesn't have side effects like drugs do. However, there might be risks typical of any new physical activity such as minor injuries.
