Research progress on the impact of recess activity on physical and mental health among children and adolescents

Abstract

In recent years, much attention has been paid to recess activity in school and its impacts on child and adolescent health. Students spent most of their time in schools, thus recess offers children the opportunity to be physically active, which is beneficial for their cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being. The review mainly discusses the impact of recess activity on child physical and mental health, including obesity, myopia, cognition and social contact, so as to provide a theoretical basis for creating school recess activities conducive to the health of children and adolescents.
