The present study aims at describing the sampling plan, operational aspects and strategies used to optimize the field work of a cross-sectional, population-based study conducted in a southern capital of Brazil. For this purpose, the sample design, data collection instrument, selection of interviewers, pilot study, data collection, field logistics, quality control, consistency control, costs, and divulgation of results are herein described. The study's response rate was 85.3%. We found that the comparison of frequency measurements with and without self-assessment had no significant impact on the estimates, and that the design effect, estimated at 2, was sufficient for most calculations. The reproducibility of the questionnaire was satisfactory, with Kappa values and intraclass correlation coefficients ranging from 0.6 to 0.9. The strategies used to overcome operational problems, such as counting of households, use of maps, questionnaire structuring, rigorous organization of the field work and monitoring of the estimates were fundamental in conducting the study.

El recreo escolar es uno de los momentos preferidos por el alumnado en la escuela, relacionándolo con placer, diversión, libertad y juego. El objetivo de este estudio fue comprobar cuál es la importancia que el alumnado atribuye al recreo escolar, conocer los motivos de su (in)satisfacción y su percepción acerca de la duración del mismo. Para eso, se diseñó un estudio cualitativo-cuantitativo, con un enfoque transversal y descriptivo, en el que participaron 317 alumnos (167 niños y 150 niñas) de 1º, 2º, 3º y 4º año de escolaridad de dos centros educativos de primer ciclo de enseñanza básica de la ciudad de Braga (Portugal), con edades comprendidas entre los seis y los diez años. Para la recogida de datos se utilizó un cuestionario, grabaciones en video de los recreos y anotaciones reflejadas en el diario de campo. Los resultados muestran que al alumnado le gusta y disfruta plenamente del recreo escolar, por ser un momento de diversión, para jugar, descansar y compartir momentos con los amigos; asimismo, la mayoría de los participantes demostraron no estar satisfechos con la duración del recreo, un momento demasiado corto precisamente para disfrutar de él. Sería necesario repensar la cuantificación y distribución del tiempo de recreo para proporcionar al alumnado mejoras en su bienestar físico, social y emocional.  Abstract. School recess is one of the favorite moments for students in schools, as they associate it with pleasure, fun, freedom, and play. The objective of this study was to verify the importance that students attribute to school recess, to understand the reasons for their (dis) satisfaction and their perception about its duration (time). To do this, a qualitative-quantitative study was designed, with a cross-sectional and descriptive approach, by which 317 students (167 boys and 150 girls) of 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th year of the first cycle of basic education from two educational centers of the city of Braga (Portugal) participated, between six and ten years old. A questionnaire, video recordings of recesses, and annotations reflected in field diaries were used for data collection. The results show that students like and fully enjoy school recess, because it is a fun time, used to play, rest, and share moments with friends; likewise, most of the participants showed that they were not satisfied with the duration of the recess, considered too short for them to fully enjoy it. A rethinking of quantification and distribution of recreation time would be necessary so to provide students with improvements in their physical, social, and emotional well-being.
