“…Therefore, health promotion programs and activities must be conceived and planned as an integral part of the education programme of the school, not as extracurricular activities, but as crucial initiatives within the educational mission of the school [47]. This can help increase the responsibility concerning PA practice, the awareness and understanding of movement and health, which is included in the physical education curriculum in most countries [48]. In children and adolescents, a significant increase (p ≤ 0.05) has been shown in the proportion of adolescents who meet the daily recommendations of moderate to vigorous physical activity on the days they have (23.6%) compared to those who do not have physical education classes (14.6%) [49].…”

The objective of this study was to determine the level and relationship between the self-perceived health of adolescents in relation to the level of practice of physical activity, adherence to the Mediterranean diet, weight status and consumption of substance abuse, such as alcohol and tobacco. A total of 516 adolescent students between the ages of 12 and 16 completed a series of questionnaires to assess their health, physical activity, compliance with the Mediterranean diet and alcohol and tobacco consumption. Adolescents who practice more physical activity have better health and greater adherence to the Mediterranean diet. The level of health is higher among adolescents with greater adherence to the Mediterranean diet, evidencing better health among those who consume less tobacco. These results show the need to involve the educational community, families and the media to promote healthy lifestyle habits that can help physical activity and sports professionals in the development of theoretical–practical proposals aimed at improving the health of students.

“…These would typically include the knowledge, understanding, and skills young people require, as well as an understanding of how these can or are likely to be demonstrated in practice. The lack of clarity concerning the nature of health knowledge in health and physical education (Armour and Harris 2013) and the health knowledge and experiences young people require to lead healthy, active lifestyles has been acknowledged elsewhere (Cale and Harris 2018). Indeed, in recognition of this some time ago, an 'expert' working group was convened, a key output from which was the publication of national guidance and a set of health-related learning outcomes for young people aged 5-16 years (see Harris 2000; Harris and Cale 2018).…”

The pervasiveness of social media in young people's lives is widely acknowledged, yet there is little evidence-based understanding of the impacts of social media on young people's health and wellbeing. Young People, Social Media and Health draws on novel research to understand, explain, and illustrate young people's experiences of engagement with health-related social media; as well as the impacts they report on their health, wellbeing, and physical activity. Using empirical case studies, digital representations, and evidence from multi-sector and interdisciplinary stakeholders and academics, this volume identifies the opportunities and risk-related impacts of social media. Offering new theoretical insights and practical guidelines for educators, practitioners, parents/guardians, and policy makers; Young People, Social Media and Health will also appeal to students and researchers interested in fields such as Sociology of Sport, Youth Sports Development, Secondary Physical Education, and Media Effects.

“…PL is further considered a basic requirement to facilitate lifelong engagement in physical activity with its accompanying possible health benefits (13,23,26,27). Focusing on the relationship of the different PL domains, some authors denote the cognitive attributes of knowledge and understanding as fundamental to achieving the other domains and the overall concept of PL (23,28,29). In that sense, students should acquire knowledge and understanding in relation to movement and health.…”

“…In that sense, students should acquire knowledge and understanding in relation to movement and health. This includes for instance a profound knowledge and understanding of the principles of movement and performance, but also of the requirements, antecedents and values of participating in a physically active lifestyle (25,27,28).…”

“…In order to target health-related knowledge and understanding (HKU) in PE, there is a need for studentcentered teaching-learning processes, combining delivery of health-related knowledge with experiences through physical activity (13,23,(34)(35)(36)(37). However, research indicates PE teachers' limited knowledge in defining appropriate learning outcomes for HKU and how to deliver those aspects within their PE lessons (8,28,34,35,38). To train teachers in applying adequate strategies for delivering health-related knowledge, implementation studies have often shown little acceptance of traditional top-down approaches (36,37).…”

Introduction: The development of knowledge and understanding in relation to movement and health is a basic requirement to facilitate lifelong engagement in physical activity with its accompanying possible health benefits. To train teachers in applying adequate strategies, implementation studies have often shown little acceptance of traditional top-down approaches. Thus, the purpose of the Health.edu project was to develop, implement and evaluate effective and feasible measures addressing students' health-related knowledge and understanding (HKU) in physical education (PE) via a participatory approach. Materials and Methods: For evaluation, a controlled pre-post-test study with 233 students from eight different secondary schools in Germany was carried out. Four schools (with two PE teachers at each school) comprised the intervention group and they participated in a 1-year participatory planning process to conceptualize and implement evidence-based PE lessons addressing students' HKU. Control schools carried out their regular PE lessons. Evaluation followed a mixed-methods research design, assessing program implementation via written documentary technique as well as program effectiveness using a standardized questionnaire. Results: Results show a significant intervention effect on students' HKU with a medium effect size. However, due to the participatory process, there were considerable differences between the intervention schools that were involved. Student's HKU improved most in schools where program implementation corresponded to relevant principles of fostering HKU. Discussion: The present study purposefully dispensed with any structured intervention programs for PE teachers to follow. The results show the potential effects of this participatory approach to strengthen student's HKU. However, the participatory planning does not always work in the intended manner, emphasizing that numerous contextual factors influence the implementation process.
