Public health advocates and scientists working on obesity prevention policy face challenges in balancing legal rights, individual freedom, and societal health goals. 

Just as there is no one model JUA, there is no single method to develop an agreement. 

Exposure to fine-particulate air pollution has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality, suggesting that sustained reductions in pollution exposure should result in improved life expectancy.

This study compares the classroom behavior of children 8 to 9 years of age receiving daily recess with that of children not receiving daily recess.

The aim of this study is to explore the associations between objectively assessed intensity levels of physical activity and academic achievement and test whether cardiovascular fitness mediates the association between physical activity and academic achievement.

This study assesses the relationship between physical fitness and academic achievement in diverse, urban public school children.

Physical Activity Across the Curriculum (PAAC) was a three-year cluster randomized controlled trial to promote physical activity and diminish increases in overweight and obesity in elementary school children.

This study investigates the relationship between scholastic achievement and weight status among 6th and 7th grade students.

Fitness, mathematics, and reading/language data were collected from 134 third-fifth-grade children.

This research brief highlights research showing that setting aside time for daily physical education does not hurt academic performance and that children who are physically active and fit tend to perform better in the classroom.

This article highlights Safe Routes to School as a promising strategy for increasing youth physical activity and improving health equity.

Although a number of environmental and policy interventions to promote physical activity are being widely used, there is sparse systematic information on the most effective approaches to guide population-wide interventions.

This study examines the usefulness of applying a walking suitability assessment to a specific geographic area surrounding elementary schools.

Incorporating a health promotion approach in the design and development of the built environment can ease climate change and promote healthier living.
