In the pretest, the children's physical activity was recorded using pedometer measure. The intervention program was conducted during 12 sessions. Then, post-test was carried out. One-way ANOVA and Mixed ANOVA were used to compare intra-group and in-group effects. The results showed no significant difference between the groups in the pretest test (p
