Description
-
Abbey Broad completed her Master’s research examining how classroom activity breaks improve on-task behaviour and physical activity levels regardless of time of day, under the supervision of Dr. Tom Hazell. Dr. Jennifer Robertson-Wilson and Dr. Pamela Bryden were on Abbey’s thesis committee. The work has been accepted for publication in the Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport.
The Sun Life Centre for Physically Active Communities (CPAC), under the direction of Dr. Bryden, realized the importance of Abbey’s work so commissioned her to create a series of short activity videos. Given the impact on physical activity in the last year and half with the Covid-19 pandemic and the closures of schools in Ontario, such quick activity breaks are even more important.
CPAC has begun to circulate the videos and positive reviews from teachers have already been heard. Forty brief activity break videos have been made featuring Abbey Board (MKin, currently working on her B.Ed).
