Abstract

The article focuses on the design of spaces for physical activity that aims to curb obesity among school children in the U.S. It notes the promotion of schools for the use of physical activity through spaces such as high tables, less conventional seating, low informal stages, and gathering stairs for learners to connect and move in between. Executive Randall Fielding suggests for the integration of planning and design process with the involvement of the students, educators, and community.
