  • Improve their health (both physical and mental) 
  • Do better in school
  • Improve their fitness
  • Grow stronger
  • Have fun playing with friends
  • Feel happier
  • Maintain a healthy body weight
  • Improve their self-confidence
  • Learn new skills
However, although virtually everyone recognizes the benefits inherent in being active, a significant proportion of Canadian across their life span do not engage in recommended amounts of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. There is also evidence that activity patterns track into adulthood, so children who are physically active during their school-age years are more likely to maintain an active lifestyle across the life span compared with those who are not. Since low levels of physical activity during childhood are predictive of increased health risks in later life, it is important for educators to understand why this occurs and to identify strategies and solutions to prevent this decline.

TAKE10 promotes physical activity, healthy eating, and learning in a fun and creative way by integrating movement with core curriculum concepts. Each activity is only 10 minutes long and can be easily incorporated into your daily practice!

  • Even when students are being active in physical education class, they generally do not meet the recommended amount of daily physical activity
  •  Students need to be motivated to make physical activity a part of their daily lives outside of school if they want to meet the daily recommendations for physical activity. 
Main Findings: 
  • In order for children to be motivated to be active, they must believe there are some values in their actions. 
  • Students need to believe that success is a personal possibility or that if they exert effort, they will be able to achieve a goal, experience success, or demonstrate competence. 
  • Achievement goal theory is a great way to foster feelings of competence. 
    • This theory focuses on task orientated learning, where the goal is to master a skill or demonstrate individual improvement. 
    • The criterion for success is self-referenced or criterion-referenced, as opposed to comparing one’s performance to others (ego oriented learning). 
    • By attributing success to effort, a sense of achievement is always a possibility.

  • Physical education is often limited within the class schedule (only occurs a few times a week) but recess occurs every day. Therefore, getting children physically active during recess may be a great strategy to increase physical activity at school
  •  The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of providing game equipment on children’s PA levels during morning recess and lunch break.
Key Findings 
  • Game equipment provision significantly increased children’s activity levels, and therefore should be implemented throughout schools to promote physical activity at recess.
  • Other intervention strategies, such as social prompts for PA (from both adults and peers) and the implementation of a games curriculum during recess, can effectively lead to an increase in physical activity and help promote a healthy active lifestyle.  
  • Students may learn new ways to be physically active, which they can use to be active outside of school
