Area of Science:

  • Pedagogy
  • Child Health
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Combining physical activity with academic content offers dual benefits for schoolchildren.
  • Physically Active Lessons (PAL) aim to enhance both health and academic outcomes.
  • Sustaining educational interventions requires understanding long-term implementation factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the long-term continuation of Physically Active Lessons (PAL) in elementary schools.
  • To identify factors influencing the sustained integration of PAL two years after an intervention.
  • To assess the utility of the Level of Use instrument in evaluating implementation.

Main Methods:

  • Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine teachers and five school leaders.
  • The Level of Use instrument was employed to gauge teacher integration of PAL.
  • Data collection occurred two years following a 10-month intervention period.

Main Results:

  • Seven out of nine teachers regularly continued PAL, averaging one lesson weekly.
  • Teacher implementation varied from logistical challenges to routine and adaptive use.
  • Perceived child benefits, active leadership, and ongoing support were crucial for continuation.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating PAL as a school development project with systematic planning supports sustainability.
  • Gradual introduction and ongoing support are key strategies for long-term PAL implementation.
  • The Level of Use instrument effectively identifies support needs at different implementation stages.
