What components of school play spaces would encourage children to be physically active?

Schools are an important setting for children's physical activity. Evidence suggests that playgrounds have the potential to enhance physical activity levels and play opportunities. Although schools are acknowledged as a key setting for physical activity, it remains unclear what factors within play spaces facilitate children's physical activity and which are potential barriers to activity. The aim of this research was to undertake a qualitative proximately 30 min in duration. Questions focussed on children's perceptions of existing play spaces, their ideal play space and what factors within a play space would encourage them to be active.
