It helps us to read the results of research conducted Lee Schaefer of the University of Regina, Canada which says "If we encourage students to be outside more often, then they will be much more active. This will benefit them in the long term," said Schaefer like quoted by Reuters on Sunday (20/07/2014). In short words: study does bring tangible evidence of the benefits of playing outdoors than indoors.

Research conducted by Schaefer is not ordinary because the study involved 306 urban children in Canada between the ages of 9 to 17 years. They were asked to wear a device that records how their footsteps for a week, after which they also spent outdoors after school. From the results of these studies found that more data is that children often play outdoors reportedly earn extra activity that is equivalent to 20 minutes of intense exercise. People who exercise more clearly the body more healthy when compared with the lack of exercise.
