Physical education is traditionally thought of as the primary means of providing physical activity in the school environment. However, only 17 to 22 percent of elementary schools offer daily physical education with a cumulative duration of about 85 to 98 minutes per week. Based on pedometer counts of weekday physical activity, lunch recess and other recess periods combined provide 23 to 25 percent of children's daily step count, whereas physical education provides only 8 to 11 percent (Tudor-Locke, Lee, Morgan, Beighle, & Pangrazi, 2006). Since physical education alone provides an insufficient amount of weekday physical activity, attention is increasingly being given to multifaceted, noncurricular approaches for increasing physical activity. The purpose of this article is to make general recommendations--as supported by the literature and large-scale research studies--for increasing physical activity opportunities for elementary school students through recess, extracurricular activities, and active classrooms.
