What this trial studies

This is a randomized interventional study delivered over six months across primary schools in Extremadura, with three intervention arms using a gamified curriculum of daily, weekly, and fortnightly activities. The programme engages children, their teachers, and families and uses the BELLOTEX-SALUD app for parental involvement and tracking. Primary outcomes include changes in diet, sedentary behaviour (screen time), and daily physical activity. Pupils with special educational needs are excluded and participation requires parental consent.
