Article Synopsis
- The decline in physical activity among children is a significant public health issue in many developed nations, prompting the need for effective interventions like school-based daily physical activity (DPA) policies.
- A study in Quebec examined how various school factors influence the ability to meet DPA objectives through a survey of 404 schools, revealing that 71% successfully reached the goal of 60 minutes of daily physical activity.
- Key predictors for achieving this target included the availability of financial resources per student, a cohesive vision among school staff regarding the positive impact of physical activity on learning outcomes, and conducting thorough situational analyses of each school's needs.
