Quality of life in primary school children: The Health Oriented Pedagogical Project (HOPP).

CONCLUSIONS: The present study replicated the well-known finding that parents' sociodemographic status is important for children's QOL. Our new contribution is to show that the physiological variables aerobic fitness and muscular strength also contributed significantly to explain variance in QOL. This opens up interesting perspectives on how to improve QOL among children through more emphasis on physical activity and physical fitness in schools. PMID: 29754578 [PubMed - in process]
