Abstract

Even with school-based efforts, many young people remain inactive. For school-age children, physical activity levels may be increased through participation in physical education or other organized physical activities throughout the school day. The implementation of a comprehensive school physical activity program (CSPAP) within the school community is an inclusive strategy to provide more opportunities for students to develop an active lifestyle and meet the recommended 60 minutes of daily physical activity. A CSPAP should include not only quality physical education, but also physical activity before, during and after school. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to describe how to effectively initiate and maintain a school-based morning activity program and provide practitioners with a guide to implement a power-walking club.
