Objective of the study: The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a proposed intervention designed to support the daily movement practices and fostering joy of movement in Danish kindergartens, as well as the implementation strategies intended to facilitate adoption. Additionally, the feasibility of the planned measurement and procedures for a future effectiveness study will be examined.
Methods: The study uses a mixed-methods design to examine the feasibility of the intervention and the future evaluation design. The planned duration of the intervention period is 10 weeks. The intervention consists of multiple integrated components co-designed with pedagogical staff, leaders, experts in kindergarten movement culture, and a team of researchers, to collectively support the daily movement practice in kindergartens. Alongside the intervention components, tailored strategies are developed to facilitate adoption and implementation. The intervention elements are categorized into four main types: 1) Formal establishment of the project; 2) Components of physical activity integrated in existing structures in the kindergarten; 3) Organizational and staff training; 4) Inspirational materials, tools and exemplary plans.
The use of a co-design approach in close collaboration between kindergartens, experts, and a team of researchers will ensure contextual relevance and shared ownership. This approach is expected to enhance acceptability, feasibility, and sustainability of the intervention. The mixed-methods evaluation design, use of theoretical implementation frameworks, and tailored strategies further strengthen the study. The findings from this feasibility study will inform the refinement of the final intervention and guide the planning of a forthcoming effectiveness study.
The study protocol is under review for publication, and the full description of the study will be available when published.
