Summary

Children spend on average 8 to 9 hours/day in sedentary activities and large proportion of this is accumulated while sitting in classrooms. This study will first investigate the details and variation of sedentary behavior in 8-11 year old children. We then evaluate whether activity permissive classroom environments can decrease sedentary time. The study will provide critical evidence whether renovation investments in conjunction with teacher instructions matter for health. Furthermore, this study provides evidence for future interventions targeting sedentary behavior and making recommendations for activity permissive indoor environments in school settings.
