Brief Summary
The investigators hypothesized that the addition of 6 minutes of exercise during the school day would increase physical fitness in elementary school students as demonstrated by longer distances run in 2 minutes and a decrease in heart rate at the end of the exercise.
Detailed Description
Intervention group played music for 6 minutes each morning in addition to recess and physical activity classes. Baseline fitness data and after-intervention data were compared.
