学校的游戏时间为孩子们提供了参与体育活动的机会。旨在增加PA的操场游戏时间干预产生了不同的结果。然而，大自然也可以通过提供大型开放活动空间来促进PA。本研究的目的是确定哪种游戏时间干预在增加中等到剧烈的身体活动（MVPA）方面最有效，以及这是否因学校地点而异。52名来自城市和农村学校的儿童参加了为期一周的操场运动和基于自然的定向运动干预。在干预前一天和最后一天使用加速度计评估MVPA。干预类型（p < 0.05）和学校位置（p < 0.001）显著影响MVPA；PS比基于自然的定向运动更能增加MVPA。城市儿童似乎对干预的反应更为积极；然而，基线MVPA的差异可能会影响这些变化。在定向运动中，体能与MVPA呈正相关（r = 0.32, p < 0.05），而在定向运动中，体能与MVPA呈正相关（p < 0.05）。PS的提供对PA的影响最大；然而，需要采取各种干预措施来吸引不太健康的儿童参与PA。
School playtime provides opportunities for children to engage in physical activity (PA). Playground playtime interventions designed to increase PA have produced differing results. However, nature can also promote PA, through the provision of large open spaces for activity. The purpose of this study is to determine which playtime interventions are most effective at increasing moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and if this varies by school location. Fifty-two children from an urban and rural school participated in a playground sports (PS) and nature-based orienteering intervention during playtime for one week. MVPA was assessed the day before and on the final day of the interventions using accelerometers. Intervention type (p < 0.05) and school location (p < 0.001) significantly influenced MVPA; with PS increasing MVPA more than nature-based orienteering. Urban children seemed to respond to the interventions more positively; however, differences in baseline MVPA might influence these changes. There was a positive correlation for fitness and MVPA during PS (r = 0.32; p < 0.05), but not nature-based orienteering (p > 0.05). The provision of PS influences PA the most; however, a variety of interventions are required to engage less fit children in PA.
