Authors' objectives:
This study aimed to undertake a pilot cluster randomised controlled trial (RCT) of an outdoor playground-based physical activity intervention for parents and their children aged from 18 months to 4 years (Preschoolers in the Playground or PiP) and to assess the feasibility of conducting a full-scale cluster RCT.
Authors' recommendations:
A full RCT of the PiP intervention is feasible. The PiP intervention requires some modification, for example running the intervention during the summer term only, but was found to be acceptable to schools and families.
