The study recommends elementary school students should be moving at least once every 30 minutes, and intermediate and high school students once an hour.

"[They] tend to do better in school, they tend to have better physical health and they tend to have better mental health than students who get more sedentary behaviour," said lead author Travis Saunders, a kinesiology professor at the University of Prince Edward Island.There are lots of different ways to get children moving, says Travis Saunders.

How teachers can incorporate more movement into the school day is not a focus of the report, but Saunders said it does not necessarily need to be regimented.
