Although no questions specifically targeted the question of school as a social setting, over half the participants said they were looking forward to going back to school because of the social aspects of school life. The majority said they looked forward to going back to school first and foremost to see their friends. In addition, a significant proportion recognized that the social part of school was not limited to their friends; about a third of participants said they missed their teachers or educators. Several participants also noted the multiple opportunities for socialization that are created or facilitated by school attendance. For example, school allows them to socialize with friends or acquaintances with whom they were not yet at the stage of meeting outside of school. The opportunity to see friends daily was also noted as an important benefit of school attendance. For older participants, the importance of social opportunities outside the family was a central theme. Many missed the possibility of being in a more personal world that is not shared with their families. They saw school as a place to socialize with other young people who are neither friends nor potential friends, but simply people of their own age, or even people of different ages who represent important individuals in their social network.

Despite the significant limitations identified, most appreciated the fact that virtual communication at least allowed them to see or talk to friends or family members. Many participants discovered new ways to communicate and described creative ways of interacting online. For example, several shared in joint online activities simultaneously (e.g., playing board games and cooking). Several participants said they spent much of their time playing video or online games, and many were initiated to social media and online gaming sites for the first time. A significant proportion of participants had their first experience with video conferencing (e.g., Zoom and Microsoft Teams) and with chat applications, such as Messenger Kids. A few did homework together or helped each other with schoolwork, through online platforms. Finally, the majority of participants said that their main use of online resources and virtual means of communication was to talk with their friends or exchange information by showing each other games, toys or drawings.

The missions encourage adolescents to engage with the program through diverse activities with their parents or siblings, as research shows the importance of family, friends and community in driving behaviour change in adolescents [21]. Examples of missions include sharing with family members their learning from the program, playing a sport game with friends or siblings, spending less time in sedentary activities, participating in more active play during recess at school or identifying small changes in their environment that could help them be more active.
When analysing PA post- versus pre-intervention, previous systematic reviews and meta-analysis found no or little effect of school-based interventions, with no significant differences between those using or not web-based technology [30, 31]. Our study shows small changes, however, comparable to those obtained after much longer multicomponent school programs [30], indicating that our approach and a shorter program was effective. Analysis of hourly MVPA patterns indicated that 48% of the daily MVPA was achieved before the start of class, during lunch break, at recess and just after school (respectively contributing 15%, 10%, 11% and 11% of daily MVPA). On average school hours are more active and less sedentary than the rest of the day. Our results also showed that adolescents increased MVPA during lunch time and recess (+40% MVPA, +4 min) despite the relatively short duration of these periods, indicating that school time provides opportunities [29] for MVPA. Overall, our results demonstrate that, after completing iEngage, adolescents were able to effectively identify opportunities for MVPA, increasing MVPA levels in daily life via short bouts of activities. This may be a direct impact of the program because the missions specifically encouraged adolescents to identify periods during the day that offered opportunities for more activity, particularly with friends and siblings.
Kogoro brings Ran and Conan together to Togichi, to the reunion vacation with his old classmates from Beika University's Judo Club. These friends of his are Jun Omura, model shop manager; Yukio Ayashiro, high school P.E. teacher; Yumi Horikoshi, businessman; Noriko Ayashiro, Yukio's wife and homemaker; and Kazushi Nakamichi, a police officer from Chiba Prefecture. During their conversation, they reveal that Kogoro used to skip practices and often lost in tournaments, while he has told Ran that he was "invincible".[57] Later, Kazushi suggests everyone play ping-pong before they go watch the fireworks at 6:30 PM. All of them agree to participate in the activity, except for Yumi Horikoshi, Kazushi's ex-girlfriend from their university days. While Kogoro plays against Yukio, Ran compliments Kazushi as being the strongest on their Judo team. However, Kazushi disclaims that title by specifying that there is a person even more powerful than himself whom he can never beat. He also states that the person he is talking about is present with them at that moment.[58] 2ff7e9595c
