- Abstract
Heart rate from 182 students (97 boys and 85 girls) aged between 12 and 18 years was assessed during physical education classes. Results have shown an average time of 21.62±14.33% of lesson time in MVPA (moderate to vigorous physical activity). Though there was no significant gender difference, girls were more active (23.47±14.45% vs 19.99±14.10%). There was no significant effect of session type (team sports, individual sports, traditional games or dancing) on time spent at MVPA values (p>0.05; ES<0.020), obtaining the highest values in team sports sessions. Results show that intensity and duration of analyzed classes do not comply with recommendations to become an adequate cardiovascular exercise.
