[Health promotion by sports in schools. A model project in 3 Cologne public schools--what is the responsibility of the school physician?].

This project was started under the aspect of judging mental (psychic) and physical items of pupils from three schools, aged between 10 and 16. Therefore, it includes not only the subject of sports but also all the other subjects concerning health, such as biology and hygiene. Support by other institutions besides schools was necessary. The observation period was fixed up to three years, the main points being sports and motorial tests and accompanying medical care and survey by school doctors from the Public Health Centre. The project was started at the beginning of the school period 1987/88 and will last until the end of the school period 1989/90. The surveying period is still too short draw any conclusions or to make any statements.
