title: ["The Class Moves!"(R) - a hopefully promising step towards promoting child mobility].
abstract: To satisfy the considerable need of measures to improve mobility in childhood, the district of Heinsberg and the German-speaking Community Belgium started the programme " The Class Moves!"(R) at 10 each primary schools during the school year 2000/2001. The programme is based on "De klass beweegt!"(R) developed by a Dutch team led by physiotherapist Elise Sijthoff. This was translated into German and evaluated in an Interregg project. In conclusion, we may say that the method was well received by teachers, pupils, headmasters, school governors and parents. It can be easily integrated into the curriculum, exercises a positive influence on lessons, and is a suitable method to promote daily mobility at school.
