Comprehensive School Physical Activity Programs

Comprehensive School Physical Activity Programs (CSPAP) are well-rounded strategies schools implement to promote regular physical activity for students. They include various components such as quality physical education, active recess, before and after-school activity programs, family and community engagement, and policies that encourage an active lifestyle. The goal is to create a supportive environment that helps students develop healthy habits, improve overall fitness, and enhance academic and social success. CSPAPs recognize that consistent physical activity is essential for students’ physical, mental, and emotional well-being both inside and outside the classroom.
