A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a randomized trial enrolling up to 266 mother–child pairs, with half randomized to receive the We-Move With Windy physical activity program and half assigned to a comparison group. The intervention delivers developmentally tailored, fun movement activities for children together with practical support for mothers and reinforcement of healthy eating. The team completed formative work including a needs assessment, small feasibility tests, and an 18-week pilot randomized trial to refine content and delivery. Outcomes include feasibility and acceptability as well as measures of children's gross motor development, physical activity, and related health indicators.
