After completing baseline examinations (i.e. physical and cognitive functions, physical activity questionnaires) the intervention program will start for one year. The intervention program is going to be designed with the goal of implementing physical activity of 60 minutes per day. For the main module of movement impulses, the pupils will perform a 5-minute exercise in every lesson, realised by the teachers.
