TL;DR: The present study provides rich new evidence showing that the situation regarding the physical activity of children and youth is a concern worldwide and strategic public investments to implement effective interventions to increase physical activity opportunities are needed.

TL;DR: The purpose of this article is to provide researchers, practitioners, and lay people who use accelerometers and pedometers with evidence-based translations of these public health guidelines in terms of steps/day to inform the shape of step-defined physical activity dose-response curves associated with various health parameters.

TL;DR: Providing game equipment during recess periods was found to be effective in increasing children's physical activity levels, suggesting that promoting physical activity through game equipment provision during recess period can contribute to reach the daily activity levels recommended for good health.
