The contribution of school breaks to the all-day physical activity of 9- and 10-year-old overweight and non-overweight children

Original language description

This study examines whether moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), in at least 30-minute school breaks (SB), helps to achieve the health-related amount of daily physical activity (PA). The ActiTrainer-based PA was monitored over two school days in 239 children aged from 9 to 10 (57.3% female; 20.1% overweight, and 19.2% obese), in February 2010. PA was assessed based on steps, heart rate, and duration of PA. MVPA, for 30 minutes during SB, represented an average of 1,258 steps for overweight girls and 1,620 steps for boys, and 1,336 steps for non-overweight girls and 1,758 steps for boys. Children with 30 minutes of MVPA during SB attained a higher daily amount of steps (p{0.001) in comparison with less physically active children. The daily 30minutes of MVPA during SB amounts to 12.5% of the overall number of steps for girls and 16.3% for boys, thus contributing to higher school-PA and overall PA and leading to the achievement of the health-related minimum of PA.
