Annotation: This report analyzes the effects of a school-based incentive program developed to promote physical activity among school-aged children by encouraging them to walk or bike to school. The report summarizes research indicating how sedentary lifestyles contribute to poor health outcomes and highlights the absence of research studies that have focused on children's health behavior despite high levels of obesity among American youth. The report describes the design of the school-based incentive program; discusses the models used to measure the impacts of the program; and discusses the overall effects of prizes offered to encourage certain types of behavior during the program. Included is an empirical analysis of the findings and a summary of outcomes based on the age and gender of the participating children, as well as the time of year during which the children were encouraged to walk or bike to school. Tables indicate the extent to which various rewards impacted behavior outcomes.
