Table 1

Summary of key intervention characteristics and their relationship with the implementation aspects

Fidelity
  1. “Don’t worry”: Similar to ordinary PE in separate classes but students have the opportunity to choose their activity. “Be happy”: students pursue activities of their choice, in groups across homeroom classes, that they formed themselves

  2. Students choose activity based on interest, not based on who they can be together within the group. Groups should stay together. Maximum eight students per group

  3. Sufficient information must be given to the students. Students must use the activity contract to conduct long-term planning. All groups must have a leadership structure, group goals and plan for conflict resolution

  4. 5% of time from other subjects should be taken to make room for one lesson. The second comes in addition to the ordinary schedule

Quality
  1. Sufficient facilities and equipment

  2. Sufficient teacher-to-student ratio

  3. Teachers should be available and able to help when necessary. They should interfere when necessary by recognizing the need for flexibility, evaluation, group alterations and conflict resolution

Responsiveness
  1. Positive response toward DWBH, and regarding the intervention as relevant, useful, advantageous in any way

  2. Responsiveness also applies to how the teachers respond to the intervention

Dose delivered/received
  1. Two lessons per week during the 29-week intervention period

Adaptations
  1. No predetermined adaptations have been defined. Small adaptations can be made if necessary and/or if they benefit overall implementation
