MARGA (Move ARound and Get Active): Using parenting practices to intervene in 24-hour movement behaviors in overweight preschoolers

About 25% of Belgian preschoolers are overweight. Therefore, this project aims to increase the amount of overweight preschoolers complying with the new World Health Organization´s guidelines (May 2019) regarding 24-hour movement behaviors. By means of co-creation with parents an intervention will be developed targeting parenting practices. The different intervention components will be tested on effectiveness and duration of exposure.
