Abstract

Physical inactivity ranks fourth among the mortality risk factors in the World. After carrying out an exhaustive literature review of relevant articles on this subject at international level, the most remarkable results confirm a positive correlation between families whose members are involved in their children’s physical activity (PA) and higher levels of vigorous PA. At the same time, a reduction of sedentary behaviours in children’s leisure time is observed. Existing school programmes based on physical activity might improve PA levels in the students. Also, practicing PA with their classmates and friends is a determinant factor too.
