(1) Background: Several studies have shown that active breaks have led to different im‐ provements in their participants. However, no studies have assessed how they affect physical liter‐ acy (PL). (2) Aims: Therefore, this study will examine the effect of the PLBreaks programme on school children’s PL and body composition. (3) Methods: A parallel‐group randomised controlled trial will be conducted with assessm...
