Physical activity is beneficial for the health of young people. It is recommended that young people engage in physical activity of moderate intensity for at least one hour a day, to maintain good health. However, just 24% of British girls and 32% of boys achieve this recommendation, which has been partly linked to the rise in obesity levels across the UK.Studies have found that weekday physical activity in school children is lowest when they are at school. Numerous school-based interventions have focused on physical education lessons in an attempt to increase activity levels, but have generally been unsuccessful. Environments both stimulate and provide the arena for physical activity although there is limited research to show if changing the physical environment at school influences activity levels in children. Camden Borough Council will be re-designing six existing school playgrounds with exciting bespoke features to engage children to become more active. The underlying goal is to encourage motivation by integrating potential for activities that are not motivated by traditional sports or by team competition. This presents a unique opportunity to evaluate the impact of these structures on physical activity, engagement, wellbeing, and academic performance. The building work will be undertaken in the school holidays of this year.Measuring physical activity in children is challenging and often relies on proxy measures such as parent-report that can be unreliable. In the last decade the measurement of physical activity has been revolutionised with the introduction of small wearable motion sensors that now enables us to assess movement objectively over prolonged periods at low cost.We propose to randomly select approximately 80 pupils from similar year groups from each of the six schools (total sample size~ 480) and collect objective physical activity data from them, using an accelerometer, at three different time points before and after the intervention (Spring/summer term 2014; Autumn term 2014; summer term 2015). Taking repeated follow up assessments would allow us to examine if short term effects are sustained over a longer period. We will also collect data on the child's mental and physical health (such as body mass index), and markers of academic performance.

体育锻炼有益于年轻人的健康。建议年轻人每天至少进行一小时中等强度的体育活动，以保持良好的健康。然而，只有24%的英国女孩和32%的男孩达到了这一建议，这在一定程度上与英国各地肥胖水平的上升有关。研究发现，在校儿童在学校的工作日体力活动最少。许多以学校为基础的干预措施把重点放在体育课上，试图提高活动水平，但通常都不成功。环境既能刺激体力活动，又能提供体力活动的场所，尽管有有限的研究表明，改变学校的体力环境是否会影响儿童的活动水平。卡姆登区议会将重新设计六个现有的学校操场，这些操场具有令人兴奋的定制功能，以吸引孩子们变得更加活跃。基本目标是通过整合不受传统运动或团队竞争激励的活动的潜力来鼓励动机。这为评估这些结构对身体活动、参与度、幸福感和学习成绩的影响提供了一个独特的机会。建筑工作将在今年的学校假期进行。测量儿童的体力活动是具有挑战性的，而且经常依赖于可能不可靠的替代测量，如家长报告。在过去的十年里，随着小型可穿戴运动传感器的引入，体力活动的测量已经发生了革命性的变化，现在我们能够以较低的成本客观地评估较长时间的运动。我们建议从六所学校(总样本量约为480人)中随机选择大约80名相似年级的学生，并使用加速计在干预前后的三个不同时间点(2014年春夏学期；2014年秋季学期；2015年夏季学期)从他们那里收集客观的体力活动数据。进行反复的后续评估将使我们能够检查短期影响是否在较长时期内持续。我们还将收集有关儿童心理和身体健康(如身体质量指数)的数据，以及学习成绩的评分。
