“…Department of Health and Human Services et al, 2010). “Let’s Move” was an extended, nationwide multi-level campaign to educate the public about the health benefits of physical activity and to encourage physical activity behavior (Bumpus, Tagtow, & Haven, 2015; McKinnon, Wiedt, Hoffnagle, & Shrimplin, 2015; Obama, 2012; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services et al, 2010).…”

“…Torres [38] found that teachers were able to derive positive interpersonal relationships, a higher sense of belonging, and a rich teaching experience from their teaching activities, which enhanced their con dence in their self-body images and boosted their selfe cacy [39]. Teachers with high self-e cacy are not only more optimistic and positive, but also good at utilizing resources and coping with various problems and challenges in teaching with con dence of success, which leads to better work outcomes and healthier bodies [40]. Secondly, better body image can provide positive self-e cacy, protect individuals from negative psychological and emotional in uences, and rationalize the negative energy phenomena encountered by teachers in lessons and work, and the maintenance of this benign emotional state ensures good health [41], which suggests that an increase in body image contributes to an increase in the level of health, which occurs through an increase in the level of self-e cacy of the individual.…”

Background Active health is a new concept, model, and system to maintain the state of whole-person health. In the context of the increasingly serious health problems of primary and secondary school teachers, it is of great significance to explore the relationship between physical activity and primary and secondary school teachers' health based on the active health perspective. Methods The International Physical Activity Scale, the Body Imagery State Scale, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale were used to survey 741 primary and secondary school teachers in three representative provinces and cities in the eastern, central, and western regions of China, and the data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 and Amos 24.0 software. Results There were no significant differences in body image and self-efficacy by gender, but the body image and self-rated health of teachers of different age groups showed a bipartite and "V" shaped distribution; the physical activity of female teachers (2456.46) was higher than that of male teachers (2297.86); and female teachers had better body The physical activity of female teachers (2456.46) was higher than that of male teachers (2297.86); the physical fitness of female teachers was better than that of male teachers; there was a significant positive correlation between physical activity, body image, self-efficacy, and health status; body image and self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between physical activity and health status, and the mediating effect accounted for 82.31% of the total effect. Conclusions Primary and secondary school teachers have real problems such as teachers' physical activity is generally insufficient, teachers' body image status is generally poor, and teachers' self-efficacy is low; physical activity is an important factor in promoting primary and secondary school teachers' health status, and low, medium, and high levels of activity all have a promoting effect on the health of primary and secondary school teachers, and the more active primary and secondary school teachers are in terms of physical activity, the better their body image, self-efficacy, and health status are, and the more active primary and secondary school teachers are in terms of physical activity, the more positive the physical activity, self-efficacy, and health status are. The more physically active primary and secondary school teachers are, the better their physical intention, self-efficacy and health status are. Suggestions improve the quality and effectiveness, promote the concept of active health among teachers; empower teachers, strengthen the institutional protection of teachers' health; reduce the burden and increase the quantity,and optimise the supply of health services for teachers.

“…Kuwato [43] found that teachers were able to derive positive interpersonal relationships, a higher sense of belonging, and a rich teaching experience from their teaching activities, which enhanced their confidence in their self-body images and boosted their self-efficacy [44]. Teachers with high self-efficacy are not only more optimistic and positive, but also good at utilizing resources and coping with various problems and challenges in teaching with confidence of success, which leads to better work outcomes and healthier bodies [45]. Secondly, better body image can provide positive selfefficacy, protect individuals from negative psychological and emotional influences, and rationalize the negative energy phenomena encountered by teachers in lessons and work, and the maintenance of this benign emotional state ensures good health [46], which suggests that an increase in body image contributes to an increase in the level of health, which occurs through an increase in the level of self-efficacy of the individual.…”

Background Active health is a new concept, model, and system to maintain the state of whole-person health. In the context of the increasingly serious health problems of primary and secondary school teachers, it is of great significance to explore the relationship between physical activity and primary and secondary school teachers’ health based on the active health perspective. Methods The survey involving 741 primary and secondary school teachers across representative provinces in China utilized the International Physical Activity Scale, Body Imagery State Scale, and General Self-Efficacy Scale. Data analysis employed SPSS 25.0 and Amos 24.0 software. Results While no significant gender disparities were observed in body image and self-efficacy, age groups exhibited a bipartite and “V” shaped distribution. Female teachers demonstrated higher physical activity levels (2456.46) and superior physical fitness compared to males (2297.86). A positive correlation emerged between physical activity, body image, self-efficacy, and health status. Importantly, body image and self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between physical activity and health status, accounting for 82.31% of the total effect. Conclusions Primary and secondary school teachers have real problems such as teachers’ physical activity is generally insufficient, teachers’ body image status is generally poor, and teachers’ self-efficacy is low; physical activity is an important factor in promoting primary and secondary school teachers’ health status, and low, medium, and high levels of activity all have a promoting effect on the health of primary and secondary school teachers, and the more active primary and secondary school teachers are in terms of physical activity, the better their body image, self-efficacy, and health status are, and the more active primary and secondary school teachers are in terms of physical activity, the more positive the physical activity, self-efficacy, and health status are. The more physically active primary and secondary school teachers are, the better their physical intention, self-efficacy and health status are. Suggestions improve the quality and effectiveness, promote the concept of active health among teachers; empower teachers, strengthen the institutional protection of teachers’ health; reduce the burden and increase the quantity,and optimise the supply of health services for teachers.
