Answers
Answer:
Data are insufficient to permit assessment of opportunities for and participation in sedentary activities in schools.
• Schools need to strive to reduce unnecessary opportunities for sedentary behavior.
• When embracing the advantages of technology for learning, schools need to be aware of its negative impact on students’ physical activity behavior.
• Recess has been shown to be beneficial for academic achievement. It is counterproductive to withhold recess or replace it with classroom activities as a punishment.
• Several models and examples demonstrate that scheduling multiple daily recess periods during the school day is feasible.
• School-based sports and active transport provide opportunities for physical activity but may not be accessible or attractive for all youth.
