Investigational

The educational intervention helped to increase the knowledge of attitudes, and habits of healthy lifestyle in children, parents and teachers and it was based on health promotion models and social cognitive theory, to be articulated with the Institutional Educational Project through the pedagogical component that integrates three areas, physical activity, healthy eating, and the knowledge of the body and the heart with the dynamics of the educative community. The program covered self-care of the body and heart, healthy diet, and physical activity

Control

The control group did not receive an educational intervention in areas of physical activity, healthy eating, and the knowledge of the body and the heart. Instead, children received the standard curriculum in health and physical activity of the national Ministry of Education.
