A Case Study Of Two Year Six Classes Involved In A Health-Related Fitness Intervention, Andrew T. Medland
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Children are not as active as they may appear and they do not voluntarily engage in moderate to high intensity activity as commonly perceived by the general public.

In Perth the Western Australian Schools Physical Activity and Nutrition project (WASPAN) has been implemented, as a Year 6 intervention, addressing the problems of poor nutritional habits and low activity levels. The focus of this case-study was to describe the physical activity component of …
