Preferred term

recess for elementary school children  

Definition

  • Because of the increased obesity rates among youth, efforts to increase physical activity levels have become a public health concern, thus calling on schools to lead physical activity promotion. Because schools tend to be focused on academic achievement, school-based strategies for physical activity promotion should be cost-effective, unobtrusive, and linked to improved academic performance for students.
