This study was conducted as a non-randomized study to evaluate the effects of physical activity interventions developed with the Nurse-led Child Health Coordinated Physical Activity Program on the physical activity levels of preschool children. Research hypotheses; H1a: The anthropometric measurements of the group receiving the intervention are different from the control group. H1b: The physical activity levels of the group receiving intervention according to family reports are different from the control group

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• The parents' evaluation about their child's level of physical activity

  This is a survey question. Parents rate their children's level of physical activity compared to their peers. (5-point scale from much more active to much less active)

  Pre-intervention (T0) Two weeks after the end of the intervention (T1)

• The duration of watching TV or using a computer (in a day)

  Time spent watching TV or using a computer

  Pre-intervention (T0) Two weeks after the end of the intervention (T1)

• The status of organized planned physical activity

  This question was developed based on the recommendation of at least 60 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per day. The status of moderate-intensity physical activity was explained with examples, and information about the child's activity status was obtained from the family for the past week . (Yes/no question) Expert opinion was obtained for the survey questions.

  Pre-intervention (T0) Two weeks after the end of the intervention (T1)

• Time of playing outside

  Time spent playing outside on weekdays and weekends,

  Pre-intervention (T0) Two weeks after the end of the intervention (T1)

• The frequency of some activities

  Number of activities per week (ranging from never to more than 3 times per week). This survey question is in accordance with the Department of Health and Human Services recommendation.

  Pre-intervention (T0) Two weeks after the end of the intervention (T1)

Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Nurse-Led Coordinated Physical Activity Program for Child Health, consisting of nurse, teacher, and family components was implemented by the researcher two days a week for six weeks. The interventions were last an average of 60 minutes each week. During this time, the nurse implemented a program, developed based on expert opinion and various guidelines, that directed students to be more active. Teachers were expected to encourage students and actively participate in the program. Families were regularly informed through the "family bulletin" and it was ensured that the program started at school was continued at home.

Behavioral: Physical Activity Program

Control

NO INTERVENTION

No intervention was applied to the control group except for the regular physical activities they perform in their school life.

Interventions
