“…activity per day. This result is consistent with other classroom-based PA intervention studies, in which a majority of the teachers were able to conduct one classroombased PA session per day (Kohl et al, 2001;Mahar et al, 2006).…”

High levels of physical inactivity are evident among many American children. To address this problem, providing physical activity (PA) during the school day within the CSPAP framework, is one strategy to increase children’s PA. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a classroom-based PA program on children’s PA. Two hundred and ten students from one school participated in TAKE 10! for 12 weeks. All students wore pedometers and a sample of 64 students wore accelerometers for 4 days during week 1 (baseline), week 8 (midintervention), and week 12 (end-intervention). Data were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA. The results showed that students’ daily in-school step counts increased by 672 steps from baseline to midintervention (P < .001). Students’ moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA (MVPA) increased by approximately 2 minutes from baseline to end-intervention (P < .01). In conclusion, participating in TAKE 10! helps children strive toward the goal of recommended daily MVPA.

“…Since then considerable research has examined the relationship between physical activity and the risk for cardiovascular disease. In fact, several systematic reviews of the literature have been developed regarding the role of habitual physical activity in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease [33,60-62]. The research to date has been consistent and compelling, habitual physical activity reduces markedly the risk for cardiovascular disease.…”

This systematic review examines critically the scientific basis for Canada's Physical Activity Guide for Healthy Active Living for adults. Particular reference is given to the dose-response relationship between physical activity and premature all-cause mortality and seven chronic diseases (cardiovascular disease, stroke, hypertension, colon cancer, breast cancer, type 2 diabetes (diabetes mellitus) and osteoporosis). The strength of the relationship between physical activity and specific health outcomes is evaluated critically. Literature was obtained through searching electronic databases (e.g., MEDLINE, EMBASE), cross-referencing, and through the authors' knowledge of the area. For inclusion in our systematic review articles must have at least 3 levels of physical activity and the concomitant risk for each chronic disease. The quality of included studies was appraised using a modified Downs and Black tool. Through this search we identified a total of 254 articles that met the eligibility criteria related to premature all-cause mortality (N = 70), cardiovascular disease (N = 49), stroke (N = 25), hypertension (N = 12), colon cancer (N = 33), breast cancer (N = 43), type 2 diabetes (N = 20), and osteoporosis (N = 2). Overall, the current literature supports clearly the dose-response relationship between physical activity and the seven chronic conditions identified. Moreover, higher levels of physical activity reduce the risk for premature all-cause mortality. The current Canadian guidelines appear to be appropriate to reduce the risk for the seven chronic conditions identified above and all-cause mortality.

“…® , teachers who experienced implementing the program believed in the importance and value of MI to increase students' PA levels in schools (Kohl, Moore, Sutton, Kibbe, & Schneider, 2001;Tsai, Boonpleng, McElmurry, Park, & McCreary, 2009). Teachers who were initially reluctant to implement MI were more receptive to the idea after they had experienced the effectiveness of MI on their students' in-class concentration (Tsai et al, 2009).…”
