Summary
The 2025 Position Statement on Active Outdoor Play emphasizes its critical role in holistic health for all ages and environments. It calls for global, multi-sectoral collaboration to increase equitable access to outdoor play opportunities.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Environmental Health
- Child Development
Background:
- The 2015 Position Statement on Active Outdoor Play highlighted its importance for children's development.
- An update was initiated to broaden the scope to all ages and global reach, resulting in the 2025 Position Statement.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present the updated 2025 Position Statement on Active Outdoor Play.
- To broaden the scope to include all age groups and global considerations.
- To emphasize the role of active outdoor play in addressing global challenges.
Main Methods:
- Informed by 18 literature reviews and leadership group meetings.
- Utilized three rounds of surveys on the draft Position Statement.
- Employed extensive communication, translation, and dissemination strategies.
Main Results:
- The 2025 Position Statement affirms active outdoor play's benefit for holistic health across all ages and environments.
- Strong support (93-98%) was found for the statement and its content across surveys.

01:24Social Foundations of Self I: Play and Game
192
The development of self in children is deeply rooted in social interactions, mainly through stages of play and structured games. These stages, outlined by sociologist George Herbert Mead, illustrate how children progressively learn to understand and adopt social roles, forming a cohesive sense of self.The Play Stage: Imitation and Simple Role-TakingIn the early years of childhood, the play stage is characterized by imitative behavior, where children engage in role-playing based on familiar...

389
As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

01:27Movement Joints in Buildings
329
Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.

01:16Zones of Protection
760
In power systems, the entire setup is divided into protective zones to isolate faults and protect the rest of the network. These zones include generators, transformers, buses, transmission lines, distribution lines, and motors. Each zone can be visualized as a separate room in a house, with each room protected by its own circuit breaker.
Protective zones are defined by closed dashed lines, containing one or more components. A key characteristic of these zones is the strategic placement of...

01:18Design Example: Designing Water Slide
614
When designing a water slide, controlling the speed of water flow is crucial for rider safety while maintaining an exciting experience. As water flows down the slide, gravity causes it to accelerate, with its speed at the bottom depending on the height from which it starts. The higher the slide, the more potential energy the water has at the top, which is converted into kinetic energy as it descends, increasing its speed.
Bernoulli's principle determines the water's velocity along the slide....
