Abstract
With the development of urbanization, the existing space within city schools is increasingly inadequate to meet the growing demand for recess activities. The evidence indicates that environmental cues can prompt individuals to consider becoming more active. Due to the capability of GIS (Geographic Information System) to objectively reflect, analyze, and plan activity spaces, a previous study reported that walking maps based on GIS can prompt the physical activity (PA) levels of community residents. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of walking maps based on GIS in enhancing PA during unstructured recess among high school students.
