Project Summary

iGirls Active is a supportive framework for schools to review their physical education provision to ensure it is attractive and relevant to adolescent girls, with particular focus on 11-14 year olds. This cluster randomised controlled trial study aims to investigate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the 'Girls Active' intervention compared to usual school-based physical education provision.
