Discussion

This review analyzes fitness interventions in children, revealing the lack of effective pedagogy and engagement strategies.

Interventions yield positive fitness outcomes but lack effective pedagogical strategies, suggesting limited long-term impact.
Of 106 studies, 89% showed highly structured interventions, while only 11% fostered a mastery-oriented motivational climate.
The review highlights that many practitioners fail to report their behaviors, potentially undermining successful outcomes in fitness for children.
Future research must embed pedagogical elements to create sustainable and engaging fitness experiences for children.

Helme et al. (2025) studied this question.
