The Active-Prem Study

The aim of the Active-Prem Study is to support 3-5 year-old children born very preterm to be more physically active in their local community

Active-Prem is looking for families to participate in a research study that will compare two interventions to find out which is most effective.

This study was designed in collaboration with researchers, parents, health professionals and physical activity coaches.
