This study shows that the children in a kindergarten where they spend most of their time outdoors in a well-planned garden have a 35% higher level of physical activity than the children in the other kindergartens in the study.

Children's energy balance is off, therefore, KOMPAN Play Institute set out to research how many calories school aged children expend when they engage in 30 minutes of free play on KOMPAN play equipment.  

Some playgrounds appear more visited and interesting than others, therefore, KOMPAN Play institute set out to research what makes a playground more visited and interesting from a user perspective on a refurbished playground at Frimley Lodge Park in the UK.

This publication showcases the KOMPAN Play Institute’s recommendations for universal and inclusive playgrounds, based on inspirational cases of universal playgrounds, design points for universal play equipment, and the Institute’s most recent research and user observation on inclusive play.

I parchi gioco sfidanti sono una risposta evidente all'inattività fisica dei bambini di oggi. Incoraggiano l'attività fisica volontaria, l'autostima ed il coraggio ma...sono davvero sicuri?

Most existing research focuses on the effect of playground play on children's physical development, less is known about the influence of playground play on other important development domains,  such as social, cognitive, and language development. 

I parchi giochi sono stati identificati come il luogo all'interno dei parchi in cui i bambini consumano più energia, il KOMPAN Play Institute ha iniziato a esaminare la conservazione dei bambini e dei loro genitori in un parco giochi recentemente rinnovato a Flag Pole Hill a Dallas, negli Stati Uniti.

This study examines the degree to which non-specialized, age appropriate play equipment and playgrounds can be usable to children with mobility and learning disabilities, as well as to typically developing children.

Play between children with disabilities and typically developing children support the areas of self-efficiency, tolerance, and empathy in both user groups. This survey from the KOMPAN Play Institute shows that 71% of the wheelchair users found their nearest playground to be inaccessible.
