Effectiveness of a multicomponent intervention to promote physical activity during the school day
Background: Increasing levels of physical activity (PA) and reducing sedentary time among adolescents during the school day is a pressing need. Emerging methodologies and strategies been shown to be effective in increasing PA levels and providing additional benefits for students, such us physically active lessons (PAL), active breaks (AB) and active recesses (AR). However, evidence concerning adolescents remains limited. This manuscript presents …
Self-determination theory intervention to promote out-of-school motivation and physical activity through physical education in primary school students
Background Achieving adequate physical activity (PA) levels remains challenging for many children and adolescents. Schools – and particularly physical education (PE) teachers – play a central role in promoting motivation and engagement in PA. In recent years, interventions grounded in Self-Determination Theory (SDT) have been increasingly implemented in PE settings. However, limited evidence exists on the impact of PE teachers’ need-supportive st…
Effects of the inclusion of physical activity in secondary education academic classes on educational indicators and health markers
Background: Increasing physical activity (PA) levels and reducing sedentary behaviors in children and adolescents is a need, especially in schools. Active breaks and physically active learning are examples of two emerging methodologies that have been shown to be effective in increasing PA levels and additionally produce improvements in children's educational markers. However, the evidence in adolescents is very limited. This paper presents the de…
Physical Activity, Body Composition, Physical Fitness, and Body Dissatisfaction in Physical Education of Extremadura Adolescents
In recent years, physical activity levels among youths have declined significantly. This has led to a decline in adherence to physical activity recommendations. In this sense, physical education offers an ideal environment that contributes positively to improving adherence to physical activity recommendations, as it teaches students movement-related skills and knowledge. The objective of the present research was to investigate the relationship be…
Intervention Programme Based on Self-Determination Theory to Promote Extracurricular Physical Activity through Physical Education in Primary School
Low levels of physical activity (PA) are a concern among students, producing negative physical, health and mental consequences. This study aims to present a protocol intervention in physical education (PE) based on self-determination theory (SDT) to enhance students' motivation towards performing PA and increasing their PA levels in their leisure time. This protocol is a convenience study with two allocation arms (intervention group versus contro…
Development, Validation, and Measurement Invariance of the Body Image Bidimensional Assessment (Biba) in Italian and Spanish Children and Early Adolescent Samples
Body dissatisfaction (BD) is an important public health issue as it negatively influences the physical and psychosocial wellbeing of children/early adolescents. Available measures of BD for this population are scarce, have a significant bias, or only evaluate weight-related dissatisfaction. This study, through the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), aims to develop and validate the Italian (Study 1) and Spanish (Study 2) versions of a new tool, th…
The Predictive Role of Perceived Autonomy Support in Elementary School Children Physical Activity
The present article aimed to test a predictive model based on children's perception of autonomy support exercised by their physical education teachers in establishing a state of high motivational quality, which in turn leads to greater intention and physical activity. Participants were 502 elementary school students aged 9 to 11 years (52.59% males (9.47 ± 0.53 years old) and 47.41% females (9.54 ± 0.53 years old)), who completed a self-reported …
The Mediating Role of Motivational Regulation on the Relationship of Emotional Intelligence with Physical Activity in Spanish Schoolchildren
The present study aimed to analyze the mediating role of different types of motivational regulations in the relationship established between emotional intelligence and physical activity. Participants were 431 secondary school students aged 12 to 16 years, 51.5% females (13.59 ± 1.03 years) and 48.5% males (13.50 ± 0.94 years), who completed a self-reported questionnaire of emotional intelligence, motivation and physical activity. The results show…
Analysis of Variables That Influence the Walkability of School Environments Based on the Delphi Method
Walkability is determined the presence or absence of factors such as quality sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, traffic, etc. The ability to walk to the school environment may be one of the variables that promotes active commuting levels. The aim of this study was to examine the walkability of school environments using the Delphi method. This study used the Delphi method to measure the walkability. A total of 18 experts were selected. First, a list…

El objetivo del presente estudio ha sido analizar las relaciones y diferencias producidas entre la actividad física, la autoestima, apariencia e insatisfacción corporal respecto al género. Un total de 303 adolescentes, masculinos (150) y femeninos (152), con edades comprendidas entre los 10-13 años (M = 11.74) pertenecientes a diferentes centros de Educación Primaria participaron en el estudio. Se empleó el cuestionario PSPP para la valoración de…
Physical Activity and Quality of Life in High School Students
Adolescence is a critical period for the acquisition of health-related behaviors that will transcend later psychological well-being in adulthood. The present study presents a theoretical model whose objective is to analyze how physical activity predicts an adequate quality of life through self-concept and subjective happiness among adolescents. A total of 452 students aged 12 to 15 (M = 13.8; SD = 0.77) from four Compulsory Secondary Education in…
Health Promotion through Movement Behaviors and Its Relationship with Quality of Life in Spanish High School Adolescents
A growing number of studies have highlighted the health benefits of high physical activity, low screen time, and optimal sleep duration among school-age children and adolescents. Objective: The present study proposes to examine the individual and combined association between movement behaviors (physical activity, screen time, and sleep time) and quality of life in boys and girls. Method : A total of 319 Spanish primary and secondary school studen…
Does gender moderate the relationship between physical activity and body dissatisfaction among adolescents
Body dissatisfaction (BD) is a significant concern among adolescents. We extend previous research by testing whether gender could moderate the relationship between physical activity (PA) and BD according to adolescents’ body mass index (BMI). 2,026 adolescents; 1,127 boys (13.13 ± 0.92) and 899 girls (13.06 ± 0.86), from 22 high schools in Spain, participated in this cross-sectional study. BMI was assessed by the research team, while PA levels an…
The Mediating Role of the Self-Concept Between the Relationship of the Body Satisfaction and the Intention to Be Physically Active in Primary School Students
The aim was analysed the extent to which anthropometric values, in line with body image and physical ability, predict physical self-concept and the latter in turn predicts the practice and intention to pursue physical activity. A total 302 participants, 150 males and 152 females were recruited from different primary Schools in Extremadura (Spain). The age of the participants ranges of 10 – 13 years old (M = 11.74; SD = .86). The indirect effects …
