Multicomponent school-based physical activity programs.  aThis book is the first-known contributed volume focused exclusively on physical activity in the school setting. It describes the importance of regular physical activity for all preschoolers, children and adolescents, which contributes to preventing concerning public health problems such as childhood obesity and physical inactivity. Children and adolescents spend more time in school than anywhere else other than the home, making schools an excellent setting in which to offer quality physical activity education and possibilities for an active school day. Physical activity is associated with physiological, physical, and mental health benefits. School-based physical activity initiatives can also positively impact learning and classroom behavior. This book comprehensively reviews the latest research on physical activity and health in the school setting, presenting different perspectives from prestigious international authors representing 12 countries and involving 40 different researchers. It provides an in-depth description on how the school environment can be used to develop, implement, and evaluate strategies that promote physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior among these populations according to the educational stage (i.e., pre-primary, primary and secondary school). It also details how to implement each individual initiative based on successful investigations and how to plan, implement and evaluate a school policy. By implementing these strategies, schools can help create a culture of physical activity that promotes healthy habits and reduces the risk of chronic diseases. The volume's 16 chapters are organized in three parts, providing an overview of current knowledge. The authors discuss advances in theory and research and demonstrate how they are using that evidence to improve professional practice and collaborate with families. Part I: Movement Guidelines and Recommendations Part II: Monitoring and Evaluation in School Settings Part III: Physical Activity During School Hours Promotion of Physical Activity and Health in the School Setting makes an important contribution to the youth physical activity field for scholars and practitioners. The book is essential reading for advanced students, researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers with an interest in physical activity, youth sport, public health, physical education, or child and adolescent development and education. 0aMedicine, Preventive.963227 0aHealth promotion.959524 0aPhysical education and training.975002 0aSports sciences.967947 0aMedical policy.959063 0aSocial service. 0aSchools.95949414aHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention.96783724aSport Education and Didactics.98280924aSport Science.96859124aHealth Policy.96249624aChildren and Youth Work.97268324aSchool and Schooling.9705341 aGarcía-Hermoso, Antonio.eeditor.0(orcid)0000-0002-1397-71821https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1397-71824edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9828102 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303165594408iPrinted edition:z978303165596808iPrinted edition:z978303165597540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-65595-1  aZDB-2-SME  aZDB-2-SXM  c62694d62694
