The Impact of Recess on Chronic Stress Levels in Elementary School Children
Increasing daily recess may contribute to lower chronic stress levels among 4th grade children. With obesity and mental health disorders on the rise and American students' academic performance on the decline, these pilot results cannot be overlooked or dismissed
The Effects of the Modified LiiNK® Recess Intervention on Muscular Strength, Neuromuscular Control, and Resilience in Elementary School Children
The LiiNK Project ® is a well-researched recess intervention that integrates four 15 min recess breaks and a 15 min character development lesson daily. Previous literature has demonstrated this intervention is effective at 60 min daily to improve muscular strength (MusS) and neuromuscular control (NC) in elementary-aged children; however, it remains unclear whether similar benefits can be achieved when the intervention is modified to 30 min daily…
Utilizing physical educators to monitor muscular strength and neuromuscular control among children with varied recess time
Increased recess was shown to aid in improved lower body muscular strength and neuromuscular control among second grade children, even when controlling for body fat percentages. As 70% of American children are not participating in the recommended daily activity guidelines, and roughly 20% of American children are overweight, exploring movement opportunities for children and efficient means of monitoring MusS and NC is pivotal to future health and…
The Effects of the LiiNK Intervention on Physical Activity and Obesity Rates among Children
Ultimately, 60 min of unstructured, outdoor play in schools provides children the best opportunity to engage in MVPA, which may positively impact body fat percentages, offering a potential strategy for combatting childhood obesity in school settings
The feasibility of using the Körperkoordinationstest fur Kinder (KTK) in a U.S. elementary physical education setting to assess gross motor skills specific to postural balance
Introduction For the past ten years, falls have been the leading cause of nonfatal injuries for all age groups less than 15 years old. A significant rise in childhood sedentary behavior in schools and limited opportunities to be outside has led to motor coordination deficits which have contributed to fall injuries. Method A German assessment tool, the Körperkoordinationstest fur Kinder (KTK), which has been used for decades in Western European co…
Development of the Movement Pattern Observation Tool (MPOT)—An Observational Tool to Measure Limb Movements during Elementary School Recess
Inter-rater reliability was achieved through a three-phase process. This reliable recess observation tool will contribute to the body of research linking recess to physical and cognitive health
Recess in the 21st Century Post‐Covid World
The abrupt onset of the COVID-19 pandemic forced the world into frenzied action, creating a series of ongoing stressors: school/work closings, remote learning, canceled events, family strife, fear, and a significant loss of social interactions. It is now unsurprising to learn that children's mental health has suffered. As social connection is tightly entwined with children's mental health, supporting school-based spaces for quality social interac…
The Preliminary Effects of a Multi-Recess School Intervention: Using Accelerometers to Measure Physical Activity Patterns in Elementary Children
This pilot study used accelerometers to investigate the effectiveness of a multiple recess school intervention on physical activity patterns in younger elementary children using a post-test only with nonequivalent groups design. First and second grade students ( N = 157) participating in a larger study, the LiiNK Project ® (Let's inspire innovation 'N Kids), wore accelerometers for the duration of the school day for two weeks to measure physical …
