About

Physical inactivity is the fourth most important risk factor for mortality worldwide and it contributes to weight gain and obesity. On the contrary, it is established that regular physical activity is a prevention and managerial factor of these non-communicable diseases. Therefore, the goal of this study is to design and evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-week physical exercise and lifestyle improvement training program carried out in a family environment, through a web platform, and with "online" supervision. This platform will improve the physical conditioning and adherence to PE in a "family environment", and to promote good development of the child through physical activities and exercises that can be done as a family at home and/or outside.
