Molina-García, Javier; Queralt, Ana; Estevan, Isaac; Sallis, James F. – European Physical Education Review, 2016
The public health benefit of school physical education (PE) depends in large part on physical activity (PA) provided during class. According to the literature, PE has a valuable role in public health, and PA levels during PE classes depend on a wide range of factors. The main objective of this study, based on ecological models of behaviour, was to…
