What?
The aim of this area of research is to assess the manifold effects of The Daily Mile™ on Italian school children well-being. The Daily Mile (https://thedailymile.co.uk) is 15 minutes wherein children jog or run, at their own pace, during the school day at a time of the teacher’s choosing. We recommend this be during lesson time, so children have their full break / play time. The Daily Mile is not Sport or PE, but rather health and wellbeing through physical activity. We are member of the Research Advisory Group of The Daily Mile. Together with the other international partners we are studying the long-term effects of this program on well-being, physical fitness, motor abilities, concentration during school day, and motivation of children attending primary schools. Numerous resources to help schools to start The Daily Mile are available here https://thedailymile.co.uk/resources/
