Abstract

The aim of the study was to provide a practical proposal developed in an educational context to promote extracurricular physical activity (PA) and, in turn, analyze the degree of usefulness and participant satisfaction with the program. To this aim, a total of 1043 students (M = 14.93, SD = .88) in secondary 3 and 4 from 22 high schools participated in the study. The intervention was focused on four points: 1) a workshop with students, aiming to educate teens about the importance of adopting healthy lifestyles; 2) a workshop in which the operation of a mobile app designed to record the PA was explained; 3) a cooperative competition, intended to encourage the practice of PA autonomously; and 4) a workshop with fathers/mothers, in order to present a series of strategies to encourage their children to engage in regular PA. After completion of the program, both students and teachers completed a questionnaire aimed at assessing the perception of the proposal, and thus at demonstrating the suitability of these type of initiatives to encourage the practice of PA in the adolescent population.
