Abstract
It is important to consider a whole-school approach to physical activity in endorsing and reinforcing positive physical activity messages that can be sustained over time and to complement the work of health and physical education (HPE) teachers.Rather than continually relying on organizational input from teachers, international evidence has highlighted that school-based noncurricular physical activity initiatives are important to provide further exposure for children’s HPE development. An example of a school-based noncurricular initiative is the Lunchtime Enjoyment Activity and Play (LEAP) intervention that consisted of the provision of movable/recycled materials.
