Effects of flexible learning spaces, active breaks, and active lessons on sedentary behaviors, physical activity, learning, and musculoskeletal health in school-aged children: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Children aged 6 to 17 spend long periods of sitting at school. Reducing these behaviors and increasing physical activity has been linked to improvements in cognitive functions and decreased musculoskeletal issues. The purpose of this scoping review was to describe interventions implementing flexible learning spaces, active breaks, and active lessons and their effects on sedentary behaviors as well as on physical activity, learning, and musculoskeletal health.

Methods

A search on databases (EDUCATION SOURCE, ERIC, SPORTDISCUS, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and WEB OF SCIENCE) was carried out in April 2021 and updated in June 2022 according to the guidelines of the "PRISMA-ScR".
