Background
Health Promoting Schools (HPS) have emerged as a powerful framework to promote healthy behaviors in many countries. However, HPS still present several challenges, highlighting the excessive workload involved in the accreditation, design, implementation, and evaluation processes. In this sense, a resource to facilitate the implementation...
Purpose
School-based interventions seems to be effective to promote active lifestyles among youth but recent literature shows that these interventions have a lack of effectiveness and very few report data on its sustainability. In the same way, few of these interventions are being replicated in different contexts than their beginning. Therefore, th...

Objective
24-hour movement behaviours can effect sustainable long-term benefits in children, but their implementation and effectiveness have not previously been reviewed in the school setting. Thus, the aim of this scoping review was to provide an overview of school-based interventions targeting physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour (SB), and...
Adolescents around the world do not engage in sufficient physical activity and the Span-ish context is no exception. Understanding the educational context as a complex system, school-based multi-level and multi-component interventions seem to be an effective strategy to reverse this trend. Moreover, a co-creational approach seems to facilitate the...
Objectives
To date, no meta-analysis has examined the influence of specific intervention characteristics in the overall effectiveness of school-based interventions measured only with accelerometer devices. Thus, the main purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the overall and specific variables of the effectiveness of sc...
The school setting is presented as an ideal context for behavioral interventions. Accordingly, evidence shows that school-based interventions positively impact on Active Transportation to School (ATS). However, behavioral interventions are rarely developed in a systematic way. The aim of this manuscript is to describe the content and development pr...
Background
Schools are ideally placed to provide children and adolescents with multiple opportunities to be or learn to be physically active. However, key reviews have reported that interventions to date have largely failed to have any long-term impact on overall physical activity levels. In this position paper, greater attention to key issues is n...
Disadvantaged populations usually adopt risk behaviours, resulting in obesity and mental health-related disorders.
