Providing opportunities for students to be physically active during the school day leads to increased academic performance, better focus, and fewer behavioral problems. As schools begin to incorporate more physical activity programming into the school day, evaluators need methods to measure how much physical activity students are being offered through this programming. Because classroom-based physical activity is often offered in 3-minute to 5-minute bouts at various times of the day, depending on the teachers' time to incorporate it, it is a challenge to evaluate this activity. This article describes a method to estimate the number of physical activity minutes provided before, during, and after school. The web-based tool can be used to gather data cost-effectively from a large number of schools. Strategies to increase teacher response rates and assess intensity of activity should be explored.
在学校日为学生提供身体活动的机会会导致学习成绩提高、注意力更集中、行为问题减少。随着学校开始在学校日增加更多的体育活动项目，评估者需要有方法来衡量学生通过这些项目提供了多少体育活动。因为课堂上的体育活动通常是在一天中的不同时间以 3 分钟到 5 分钟的小片段的形式提供的，这取决于教师安排的时间，所以评估这种活动具有一定的挑战性。本文描述了一种在上学前、上学时和放学后估算体育活动分钟数的方法。这个基于网络的工具可以经济有效地从大量学校收集数据。应该探索提高教师回复率和评估活动强度的策略。
