Physical education is often viewed as a public health tool that can be used to increase the amount of physical activity young people engage in. However, not only should the amount of physical activity at school and in physical education lessons be increased, but students should also acquire the knowledge, skills, motivation and responsibility that enable them to stay active outside of school and for the rest of their lives, that is, to develop their physical literacy. The purpose of this article is to provide physical education teachers with useful guidelines for the implementation of the Health-Based Physical Education model as a way to contribute to the physical literacy of middle school students. Furthermore, a series of strategies is provided to promote students’ commitment, motivation and participation when implementing the model
