• Description:
  Classroom physical activity is an important part of a Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program. Classroom physical activity gives students opportunities for physical activity during the school day in addition to physical education and recess. Encouraging students to be physically active during classroom learning can increase the amount of time they are active and limit the amount of time they are sedentary.
