Abstract

Physical inactivity during the early years of life is currently indicated as a major contributor to increased levels of obesity and other serious medical conditions and is being seen in children and adolescents all across Europe. Children spend a large part of their time at school and the school curriculum should provide good opportunities to promote physical activity.Worldwide, public health physical activity guidelines include special emphasis on populations of children (typically 6-11 years) and adolescents (typically 12-19 years). Existing guidelines are commonly expressed in terms of frequency, time, and intensity of behavior. However, the simple step output from both accelerometers and pedometers is gaining increased credibility in research and practice as a reasonable approximation of daily ambulatory physical activity volume. The present study aims to measure the amount of physical activity that takes place during physical education classes. The study comprised a sample of 70 children (41 boys and 29 girls) ages 10-12 from a school in Murcia (Spain). A pedometer was used to measure physical activity. Two session of learning unit titled “Games and Alternative Sports” was analyzed. The results showed a steps/day average of 3.318 (3.467,3 steps/day for boys and 3.107,2 steps/day for girls). This amount represents the 20.1% to 28.85% of the daily recommended steps/day (11.000 and 16.500 for minimum and maximal, respectively).
