The preschool Triangeln in Fors, Avesta municipality, has started daily pulse-raising activities to reduce sedentary behavior and get all children moving. Principal Alexandra Hållén says they have seen it works and will continue. According to the Public Health Agency of Sweden, children and young people are moving less and sedentary behavior is increasing in all age groups, while movement is known to be important for health, well-being, and school performance.
The preschool organizes activities each day to increase children's pulse and get them moving. Hållén notes that research says one should raise the pulse for an hour daily, and since children are at preschool for 6-8 hours a day, the preschool aims to help them achieve this.
