Interventions integrating physical activity into organizational routine during everyday life have demonstrated modest but consistent benefits , particularly for physical activity , and these are promising avenues of investigation .
The proportionately longer-term outcomes available in these studies compared with individual-level studies suggest that physical activity promotion strategies at the organizational level may be more sustainable
CONTEXT Recommended daily physical activity accumulated in short intervals ( e.g. , < 10 minutes ) may be more feasible and appealing to the relatively sedentary populace than longer bouts .
The purpose of this paper is to present a systematic review of the evidence for the effectiveness of short activity bouts incorporated into organizational routine as part of the regular " conduct of business . "
Lessons Learned in Using TAKE 10! With Hispanic Children
Physical inactivity and lack of nutritious diets increase children ’s risk of obesity , especially children from low-income and ethnic minority groups . To address this risk , the school-based TAKE 10 ! program was implemented to increase the physical activity and improve the nutrition of K-6th grade students in one public urban school serving a predominantly low-income , Hispanic population . In this study the research ers ( a ) evaluated the program outcomes using the physical activity and nutrition question naires provided with the TAKE 10 ! curriculum material , teacher surveys , observations , and interview data ; ( b ) evaluated the question naires provided with the TAKE 10 ! curriculum material and provided suggestions for modification ; and ( c ) described the experience of a positive partnership among school , university , and community agencies implementing the TAKE 10 ! curriculum . Based on the findings , recommendations are offered for successful physical activity and nutrition health promotion programs for these children
