Classroom routine frequency and their timing practice as critical factor to build the recommended primary school active break program

Abstract

This study invests Active Break Physical Classroom Routine (ABC-PA) as a solution to break up Algerian time sitting which surpass 6 hours a day. Encouraged in this study by video-based physical activity program, applied for 4 weeks under two frequency and times modalities. A group with 2 min for every 20 min classroom sitting (ABC-PA-20-min). Recommended by physical medicine and rehabilitation to rest postural positioning, after every 20 to 30 minutes of prolonged static setting.Versus a group with 5 min at the beginning of every 2-hours of classroom-sitting (ABC-PA-2h). Recommended by primary active break programs through 3 × 5-min of moderate-intensity per day to help increase daily PA.To examine their effectiveness, our sample included 2 teachers 4-grade class levels boys' school, 64 boys, 36 in each class. Controlled by 34 of their peers, engaged in sports combat association with a rate of one hour per day. Power by Fitness-Gram battery as a comprehensive health-related fitness education program, applied before and after the realizations of two programs. Based on the study design protocol and statistical applied. Our results confirmed active breaks' classroom proposed as an optimal strategy to reduce sitting time and promote the 30 min/day school physical activity guidelines. Their comparisons with recommending 60 min a day. Supported the use of ABC-PA-2min for every 20 min compared to ABC-PA-5min for each 2h. Admit in this study as more suitable intervention able to reduce inactivity and gain the goal of 60 min daily among Algerian primary school children.
