Opis

Physical activity is a well-established element of the public health agenda that has received increasing attention in recent years. Despite the WHO (2016) guidelines on the recommended levels of physical activity and the well-recognized benefits of regular physical activities, there is evidence that a large number of pupils are still reported to be inactive.This study sought to determine pupils and teachers knowledge on the importance of participating in physical activity; find out the factors influencing pupils' participation in physical activity and to give suggestions on ways of increasing participation in physical activity among pupils.
