    background are at particular risk for overweight. We assessed the effects of a
    primary school-based initiative targeted at enhancing physical activity and dietary
    education among children with a high proportion of migration background.</jats:p><jats:p>\r\nMethods
    Four 3rd and 4th grade classes (n=70 children, 77% with migration background)
    participated in a 10-months intervention comprising 2 additional exercise lessons
    weekly and 10 nutrition lessons per school year. 6 school classes (n=125 children,
    65% with migration background) served as control. Before and after the intervention,
    an assessment of physical fitness and motor skills and questionnaires on dietary
    behavior and knowledge were conducted. In a subgroup (n=37), after 6 months of
    the intervention, daily physical activity was assessed by accelerometer-based
    monitoring. Differences in changes between the groups were assessed using linear
    regression analyses.</jats:p><jats:p>\r\nResults Changes between the 2 time points
    for fitness and motor skill tests (differences in standard deviation scores) were
    larger in the intervention than in the control group for the total mean test value
    (β=0.38, p&lt;0.001), driven by higher improvements in 5 of the 8 test items,
    i.e., obstacle race (speed) (β=0.22, p=0.049), standing long jump (strength) (β=0.35,
    p&lt;0.001), sit-ups (strength) (β=0.33, p=0.002), stand and reach (mobility)
    (β=0.22, p=0.042), and 6 min run (endurance) (β=0.40, p&lt;0.001), independently
    of confounders. Changes in dietary knowledge and consumption frequencies did not
    differ between groups.</jats:p><jats:p>\r\nConclusions Promoting guided physical
    activity in a primary school setting with a high proportion of children with migration
    background positively affected parameters of fitness and motor skills.</jats:p>@eng"
