This position statement follows to the thematic round table organized by S.I.E.M.eS. (Italian Society of Movement and Sport Education) as final event of the international congress on "Outdoor movement education" held in Bozen, Italy, december 3-5, 2020.Today’s lifestyle with interesting electronic devices attracts young children to spend time inside instead going out to play in a physically active manner. At the same time, recent research evidencehasshownthat outdoor active play (outdoor play) offers multiple advantages to children’s development and health. In December 2020, the University of Bozen organized an international congress on the relevance ofoutdoor movement education and outdoorplay. The Congress ended with a round table discussionof the different approaches to outdoor movement education practiced in Europe, and theneed for a common position statement was agreed on that would involve other scientists who participated in the Congress. The position statement is based on comparison of the different practices in European countries and is aimed at defining a consensus in terms of approaches and terminology for outdoor movement education that may be shared between European educators. The comparative analysis was conducted between different regions of Europe: south (Italy), middle (Wales and Belgium, Wallonia), and north (Finland, Iceland and Norway). Comparisons of the different regions were based on official national documents,including laws, educational curriculums, andresearch findings.Results revealed that some regions, mostly the Nordic Countries, have a strong outdoor culture on which the official national documents are based. In these countries, the outdoor environment is included in teacher education programmes and national curriculums for early education and elementary school. This is not the case everywhere in Europe, where other countries are now starting to spread the outdoor culture in the school environment. On the other hand, there is a need for more research-based knowledge about the amount and types of children’s outdoor movement in all regions, including the most advanced ones.With this position statement, the Congress participants and organizers underscore the need to increase the knowledge of the importance of outdoor play in supporting children’s motor development and holistic development. There is a compelling need to change official documents to guarantee adequate possibilities for outdoor movement education and outdoor active play. The outdoor environment should become part of the daily pedagogical routine of children, and special care should be given to active movement. The aim of this position statement is to help to reach a consensus in the educational community that must act in collaboration with multiple sociocultural players and stakeholders (at local, national and European levels) and be driven by scientific research.

Problem Statement: In Belgium preschool education usually takes place in classroom and time spent outdoor is mostly limited to recess. Such approaches reduce physical activity and limits environment discovery. Outdoor education (OE) is a complementary pedagogical approach that is based on direct engagement with the outdoor environment and nature in order to improve knowledge, skills, behaviours and physical activity. However, the OE level of practice and associated factors are unknown in Belgium and should be investigated before any promotion. Approach: Preschool teachersfrom the Province of Liege were invited to complete an online survey on their teaching environment, attitude toward OE andpractices. Semi-structured interviews were then conducted and focused on the perceived benefits, obstacles and potential solutions. Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigateOE practice in some Belgian preschools and relationships with both environmental factors and teachers’attitudes towards OE. Results: Even though the teachers reported a very positive attitude towards OE, our results revealed that OE was a very limited practice. Both environmental and personal factors were related to OE practices. Personal factors related with OE practices wereself-confidence and enjoying outdoor activities with children. Environmental factors like well-equipped and stimulating environment and having outdoor adapted clothes were related to the OE practices. Main obstacles to OE were the weather conditions, the lack of suitable equipment, the low rate of supervision, and the teacher’s lack of knowledge and trainingin OE. Conclusions: This study identified environmental and personal factors that are related to OE practices in Belgium preschools. Teachers showed a great interest towards OE. However, current conditions lack incentives that would favour OE and a greater personal motivation seems to be essential.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of two different types of physical warm-up on selective attention (AS) and concentration of physical education (PE) students. Warm-up was used as a tool for this optimization; different variables were applied to compare their effects on students' attention and concentration. Attention is a frequently studied variable that is associated with success in different settings including academic and sports. The participants of this study were 160 students (77 girls and 83 boys), who were between 12 and 17 years old. The students were randomly divided into two experimental groups (n = 106) and a control group (n = 54). As a study procedure, an experimental group (n = 55) performed a physical warm-up based on 10 min of repetitive exercises of moderate intensity that were directed by a direct command and had low cognitive demands. The other group (n = 51) performed a physical warm-up of equal duration and intensity; however, the warm-up was based on an open and playful task with many stimuli and a high need for fast decision-making. Then, the D2 test was used to observe students' attention and concentration. The obtained results showed no significant differences in attention and concentration according to the type of performed warm-up (p > .05). However, differences were observed in the effects of these cognitive functions with respect to other variables such as sex, age, or school year (p < .05). The lack of effectiveness in testing the proposed warm-ups suggests the need to continue experimenting with different variables (e.g., volume, intensity, teaching style, and stimuli) to determine their possible effects on students' attentional capacities.

Introduction: o fully understand the benefits of environmental regulations it is important to quantitate the impact of atmospheric pollutions on economic growth, regional development and society. This work concentrate mainly onthe relations betweenair pollution andsociety in the context ofaveragehousehold income and expenditures.Material and methods:Thestudy examines the causal relationships between expenditures on health, sport, and tourism, household incomes and air pollution across selected polish voivodships in years 20042019.A notable feature of this study is that it uses annual data disaggregated into quarterly data to obtain robust empirical results through avoiding a sample size problem.The study applies the vector error correction model (VECM) to analyze the long-term and short-term relationship between six variables, where PM2.5(particulate matters) andCO (carbon monoxide) represents atmospheric pollution andhousehold budget is represented by disposable income and expenditures on health, sport, and tourism.Results:Pollution cause direct and indirect pressure on economy, as well as on individual household budget. First, the empirical results shows that air pollution directly affects health, especially when the concentration of harmful dusts and aerosols in the air is high.Second, the air pollution influence the expenses on health indirectly, through the state of health, where the individuals are forced to make expenses to treat the disease caused by air pollution, or for the prevention of potential diseases caused by air pollution.Third, the air pollution also cause the pressure on sport expenses and tourism expenses of household. Conclusion:Atmospheric pollution can impact economic outcomes, as well the atmospheric pollution can be driven by economic activity on different levels of aggregation.Air quality is also an important factor for making decisions about leisure and recreation. Sport activity, as a way of spending free time, has positive effect on health. Physical activity alsoinfluencethe reduction of health expenditure in long term, butalso has a potential to increase the expenditures on sport and recreation.
