LETS MAKE OUR STUDENTS MOVE

It is considered that childhood is a key stage in which children form healthy habits or acquire new knowledge, as their personality is in the process of formation (WHO, 2019; Dos Santos et al., 2023). Along this lines, Gámez-Calvo et al. (2022) stated that during this period students' concept of personal identity is strengthened, thus creating conditions for them to learn useful habits that they can incorporate into their lifestyles for adulthood. This project pretends to help future Primary Education Teachers to develop specific programmes to apply at Schools, with the purpose of increasing children physical activity levels during school day. Some of that activities could be active breaks, active recess, specific interventions in PE, etc.
