Physical Activity Before and After School
Aaron Beighle & Melanie Moore  

Abstract: This article discusses a variety of before- and after-school programs (BASPs) that can be implemented from preschool through 12th grade. These programs offer physical activity opportunities before and after school for youths of various ages, skill levels, and socioeconomic levels. In addition, strategies for the director of physical activity to maximize the effectiveness of BASPs in promoting health-enhancing physical activity are presented.
