Physical literacy (PL) emerges as a highly effective resource for creating lasting physical activity habits at a time when physical inactivity has become one of the main risk factors in our population. Thus, active breaks (AB) could be an ideal option for increasing physical activity time in schoolchildren.
A cross-sectional quasi-experimental study was conducted, involving 89 participants aged 8-12 years from Extremadura. The Canadian assessment of physical literacy (CAPL-2) was administered to assess the participants' physical literacy level. The BMI was also measured.
Higher scores were obtained in all domains and subdomains of the CAPL in the experimental group. Significant differences were found both in total physical literacy score ( < 0.001) and in all domains and subdomains, except for the subdomains self-reported question, intrinsic motivation and knowledge and understanding domain ( = 0.344).
The results of the study support the positive effects of an AB program of PL and its domains. The development of active break programs could help to increase the PL level of schoolchildren.
在身体活动不足已成为我国主要风险因素之一的当下，身体素养（PL）成为培养持久身体活动习惯的高效资源。因此，课间活动（AB）可能是增加学童身体活动时间的理想选择。
开展了一项横断面准实验研究，纳入了来自埃斯特雷马杜拉的89名8至12岁参与者。采用加拿大身体素养评估（CAPL-2）来评估参与者的身体素养水平。同时测量了体重指数（BMI）。
实验组在CAPL的所有领域和子领域中得分更高。在总体身体素养得分（<0.001）以及除自我报告问题、内在动机和知识与理解领域的子领域外的所有领域和子领域中均发现了显著差异（=0.344）。
该研究结果支持了课间活动计划对身体素养及其领域的积极影响。课间活动计划的开展有助于提高学童的身体素养水平。
