Abstract	Decreased opportunity for physical activity (PA) during school is one of five environmental factors preventing children from meeting PA recommendations of 60+ min/day. In addition, nearly all children attend school and spend as much as 30 percent of their waking hours in that setting. For these reasons, schools are a logical setting to influence youth PA. Prior to developing and evaluating interventions, it is important to understand the amount of PA children accumulate during the school day and across the school year. Although increasing students' activity levels during school hours is important, examining the impact of school-day interventions on students' activity levels outside of school is also crucial. A comprehensive approach that promotes PA both in school and out of school activities is necessary to maximize daily PA. It is also important to understand the role of season on children's PA, including school-day PA. Several factors, such as temperature, weather conditions, and daylight may have an impact on children's PA. A better understanding of how children's PA levels vary, including school-day PA, during different times of the year may help prioritize or reallocate resources to increase PA during particularly low activity seasons. The purpose of this study was to examine the steps taken by children both during school and out-of-school during two seasons, fall and winter. The authors also examined the differences between daily steps, school steps, and out-of-school steps during fall and winter. Aus dem Text (geändert).
