Özet

The school physical environments are considered significant factors contributing to children's inactive lifestyles and high levels of childhood obesity. Several studies have found significant cross-sectional associations of perceived environmental attributes with physical activity behaviors. However, these school environments are understudied settings with the potential for substantial involvement in efforts to promote youth physical activity. In this context, understanding how environmental attributes can influence particular physical activity behaviors is a public health research priority. In addition, developing policies to improve the outdoor physical environments of public schools that undermine efforts to improve student health behaviors must be addressed.
