Title: Active breaks in primary school: Teacher awareness
Abstract: The need for movement, which characterizes the current generations of children, has become urgent and worrying. Despite the continuous projects carried out in primary school, few seems to improve health and motivation to adopt active lifestyles. Among the many projects carried out in recent years, active breaks seem to be gaining ground for their easiness of realization and sustainability over time. The active breaks proved to be very effective towards well being and cognitive activation representing an additional dose of physical activity that can help children in meeting the recommended levels of daily physical activity. Moreover, the active breaks represent an innovative strategy to improve the classroom climate and facilitate the educational action of teachers. Teachers, involved in the I-MOVE and ABS studies, of an inter-university study group (University of Bologna and University of Roma Tre), responded with great enthusiasm to the practice of active breaks. Teachers highlighted that active break produced a positive effect toward school routine, learning environment and activation of cognitive functions in children. The present paper reports data related to the awareness of teachers, with regard to the application of active breaks in their school day, in terms of feasibility, management and organization in the face of effects considered absolutely positive for the daily school experience.

Title: Le pause attive nella scuola primaria: La percezione delle insegnanti
Abstract: Il bisogno di movimento che caratterizza le attuali generazioni infantili, si è fatto pressante e preoccupante in relazione al fatto che, nonostante i continui progetti realizzati nella scuola primaria, poco sembra migliorare dal punto di vista della salute e della motivazione ad assumere stili di vita attivi. Tra i tanti progetti realizzati negli ultimi anni, le pause attive sembrano prendere piede per la loro semplicità applicativa e sostenibilità nel tempo. Presentate come ulteriore dispositivo per garantire ai bambini i livelli raccomandati di attività fisica quotidiana, si sono dimostrate molto efficaci sui livelli di benessere e attivazione cognitiva tanto da migliorare il clima di classe e facilitare l'azione didattica-educativa delle insegnanti. Proprio le insegnanti, coinvolte negli studi I-MOVE e ABS, di un gruppo di studio interuniversitario (Università di Bologna e Università Roma Tre), hanno risposto con molto entusiasmo alla pratica delle pause attive rendendosi conto, per prime, dei benefici evidenziati a livello di routine scolastica, ambiente di apprendimento e attivazione delle funzioni cognitive nelle/nei bambine/i. Il presente lavoro riporta dati riferiti proprio alla consapevolezza maturata negli insegnanti, rispetto all'applicazione delle pause attive nella loro giornata scolastica, in riferimento alla loro fattibilità, gestione e organizzazione a fronte di effetti considerati assolutamente positivi per il vissuto scolastico.
