Summary

The study is designed to compare two methods of delivering short (\~10 min) physical activity breaks that will occur during the regular school day for 3 years. Schools will be randomized to deliver physical activity breaks led by either the regular classroom teacher or by a remote instructor through a video in the classroom. Both delivery methods will promote a variety of whole body movements using large muscle groups. The schools will not be able to choose which group (regular teacher or remote instructor) they will be part of.
