As school recess is a large contributor to children’s overall level of physical activity, the aim of this study was to identify possible physical activity-promoting recess practices at New Zealand schools transferrable to Danish schools. The study was conducted as an ethnographic field study using participant observations and informal field talks with children and school workers at five New Zealand schools. On the basis of our findings we suggest Danish schools should further support physical activity initiatives by implementing physical activity-promoting recess initiatives. </p>}, journal={Forum for Idræt}, author={Pawlowski, Charlotte Skau and Schipperijn, Jasper and Duncan, Scott and Troelsen, Jens}, year={2015}, month={dec.}, pages={09–21} }
