BOKS
BOKS is an evidence-based physical activity program developed by Reebok to get kids active and establish a lifelong commitment to health and fitness. It was originally developed and tested as a 12-week program offered before or after school. In the present study, BOKS will be offered four days per week for eight weeks over the summer at a public park in one low-income community. The program will run one-hour prior to lunch service by the USDA's Summer Food Service Program. The BOKS curriculum includes lesson plans for 40-45 minute classes that follow the same daily format and focus on a functional fitness skill of the week (squat, plank, push up, etc) and engage participants in team-oriented games.
