Zusammenfassung:The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that adolescents engage in at least 60 min of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) daily across the week to support healthy growth and development. Despite this guideline, physical inactivity is prevalent among adolescents in South Africa. This is concerning given the increasing burden of overweight and obesity. While nutrition is a critical driver of these conditions, physical activity represents a complementary and scalable strategy to improve overall adolescent health. This study aims to assess the effect of providing a skipping rope and an informational pamphlet to adolescents aged 10-14 years in South Africa on their physical activity intentions and behaviors.
