我们调查了一个双种族队列在课间休息时的体育活动和鼓励活动。287名儿童的活动和相关的互动记录在学前班，并再次2.2年后，儿童花费近两倍的能量在学前班的休息比小学的休息。活动水平随着课间休息时间的流逝而下降。在学龄前，欧洲裔美国儿童比墨西哥裔美国儿童从事更多中度到剧烈的活动。随着参与者进入小学，教师的积极提示减少，同龄人的提示增加。男孩和女孩在学前班收到的活动提示数量相似，但对男孩的提示随着时间的推移而增加。研究结果表明，可以改变学校环境，以促进幼儿健康的体育活动。
We investigated physical activity and encouragement for activity in a bi-ethnic cohort during recess. Activity and associated interactions of 287 children were recorded at preschool and again 2.2 years later Children expended nearly twice res much energy at preschool recess than at elementary recess. Activity levels declined as recess time elapsed. At preschool, European-American children engaged in more moderate to vigorous activity than Mexican-Americans. As participants moved to elementary school, teachers' prompts to be active decreased and prompts from peers increased. Boys and girls received similar amounts of activity prompts at preschool, but prompts to boys increased over time. The findings suggest that school environments could be altered to promote healthful physical activity among young children.
