The protocol of the ENERGY cross sectional study now published

ENERGY stands for European Energy balance Research to prevent excessive weight gain among youth, and is a European Commission funded project aiming to study important dietary, physical activity and sedentary behaviors among youth aged 10-12 across Europe. ENERGY also investigates determinants of engaging in such behaviors and develops and tests an intervention scheme to promote more healthful energy-balance behavior in schoolchildren. The protocol paper of the cross-sectional ENERGY study, describing the methods, procedures and measures of the study, and with Dr. Maartje van Stralen as first author, has now been published in BMC Public Health.
