Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of Child Care Intervention on Physical Activity and Body Composition.
This study evaluated whether intervening with child care providers would increase physical activity (PA) and reduce adiposity in preschoolers. ⋯ Provider-led intervention in child care centers increased preschoolers' PA and reduced adiposity, therefore may represent a viable approach to promoting PA and related health benefits in preschool-aged children.
