“…A previous school-based intervention to examine the effects of changes in playground structure on physical activity23 demonstrated a small effect size (d=0.10). Thus, based on these data, a sample size of N=458 would provide us with 80% power at 5% significance level to detect small differences in moderate intensity physical activity using a repeated measures design (calculated using G-Power).…”

IntroductionPhysical activity is essential for every facet of children's health. However, physical activity levels in British children are low. The school environment is a promising setting to increase children's physical activity but limited empirical evidence exists on how a change in the outdoor physical school environment influences physical activity behaviour. The London Borough of Camden is redesigning seven existing school playgrounds to engage children to become more physically active. The primary aim of this project is to evaluate the impact of the redesigned playgrounds on children's physical activity, well-being and physical function/fitness.Method and analysisThis project will use a longitudinal quasi-experimental design. Seven experimental schools and one control school will take part. One baseline data collection session and two follow-ups will be carried out. Between baseline and follow-up, the experimental school playgrounds will be redesigned. At baseline, a series of fitness tests, anthropometric and questionnaire measurements, and 7-day objective physical activity monitoring (Actigraph accelerometer) will be carried out on children (aged 5–16 years). This will be repeated at follow-up. Changes in overall physical activity levels and levels during different times of the day (eg, school breaks) will be examined. Multilevel regression modelling will be used to analyse the data.Ethics and disseminationThe results of this study will be disseminated through peer-review publications and scientific presentations. Ethical approval was obtained through the University College London Research Ethics Committee (Reference number: 4400/002).

“…These wearable motion sensors measure movement across three dimensions, thus providing minute-by-minute time-stamped data on activity intensity, duration and patterns across the day. Objective physical activity monitoring has been successfully used in similar study settings to the present project 14 23 24…”

“…En este estudio se pudieron observar niveles de sedentarismo mucho más altos que los observados en previos estudios en otros entornos (Anthamatten et al, 2011;Blaes et al, 2013;McKenzie, Marshall, Sallis y Conway, 2000;Springer, Tanguturi, Ranjit, Skala y Kelder, 2013).…”

“…Especialmente en el caso de las niñas los patrones de actividad física muestran o están ligados a patrones de movimiento dados por roles diferenciados entre género (Blaes et al, 2013).…”

“…De acuerdo con estudios previos cuantitativos realizados en otros países, la proporción de tiempo dedicado a la actividad física de moderada a vigorosa intensidad durante la mañana y el recreo del almuerzo es de 32,1% en los varones y 23,7% en las niñas, en Francia (Blaes et al, 2013), y de 32,9% en los varones y 25,3% en las niñas, en Inglaterra (Ridgers, Stratton, 2005). En el entorno costarricense se carece de la información acerca de los niveles de actividad física de los escolares en los ambientes de recreo, por lo que se hace necesario no solo conocer el grado de actividad física de los escolares en ese entorno, sino también sus percepciones, las cuales brinden mayores elementos para entender la conducta de movimiento, con el fin de poder desarrollar intervenciones que respondan a la realidad escolar costarricense.…”
