abstract={The purpose of this paper is to examine relevant literature that demonstrates the interactions among built environments and childrenĄ¯s sedentary behaviors from a social ecological perspective. An overview of the existing body of knowledge relating to childrenĄ¯s sedentary behavior will be shared. A social ecological theoretical framework will be used to investigate how built environments in home, school, and neighborhood settings may impact childrenĄ¯ sedentary behaviors. Finally, a synthesis of emerging research and implications for practice along with recommendations will be highlighted to demonstrate how childrenĄ¯s sedentary behaviors can be altered by modifying built environments in home, school, and neighborhood settings.},
