《Increasing Outdoor Activity Time During School Recess to Improve Adolescent Health》
Sponsor: Kang Zhu
Summary
Adolescents spend a substantial amount of time at school, and school recess provides an important opportunity for physical activity and recovery from prolonged sedentary behavior. However, insufficient outdoor activity time during school recess has become a concern for adolescent health. This study is designed to examine whether increasing outdoor activity time during school recess can improve physical and mental health outcomes among adolescents. A school-based intervention study will be conducted, in which participants will receive an increased outdoor activity program during recess periods. The intervention will include structured and free outdoor physical activities designed to increase daily physical activity opportunities. Changes in physical activity levels, psychological well-being, and related health indicators will be assessed before and after the intervention.The results of this study may provide evidence for developing effective school-based strategies to promote adolescent physical activity and health.
