Youth physical activity (PA) levels are a central focus for health professionals worldwide. The differences in how much PA children are attaining during unstructured PA opportunities in comparison to structured activities is one phenomena that needs to be addressed. The purpose of this study is: (a) to examine the PA levels of children within Healthy Pokes during structured and unstructured PA lessons, and (b) describe the children's perceptions about structured and unstructured PA. Research questions guiding this study are a) how active are children during unstructured PA, b) how active are children during structured PA, and c) how do children describe unstructured and structured PA? Participants were 31 children Mage (10.37 +/- 1.4 yrs.), BMI percentile (79.86 +/- 28.01), who actively participated in the Healthy Pokes after-school program. Activity measurements examined mean steps per minute, mean percentage of moderate to vigorous PA, and mean percentage of activity time during unstructured and structured PA opportunities. Results indicated unstructured PA accumulated higher mean: SPM, percentage of MVPA, and percentage of activity time; however statistically significant differences only occurred between mean SPM and mean percentage activity time. Findings suggest implementing forms of unstructured PA may be beneficial to increasing youth's daily PA for health practitioners in order to meet recent national recommendations.
