Fysisk aktivitet kan ha positiva effekter på hälsa. Arbetsmiljölagen anger att risken för ohälsa ska undanröjas. Mot den bakgrunden skulle fysisk aktivitet på arbetstid kunna vara en legitim arbetsmiljöåtgärd för att förbättra arbetshälsan. Utifrån det förefaller det intressant att undersöka hur fysisk aktivitet på arbetstid kan implementeras så att den genererar positiva resultat.

Fysisk aktivitet i undervisningen och dess inverkan på elevers kognitiva förmågor upplever vi som ett väsentligt inslag i grundskolans tidigare år. Syftet med studien har varit att undersöka omfattningen av lärares uppfattningar kring denna inverkan samt deras åsikter kring detta arbetssätt och dess effekter. Metoden som använts har varit kvantitativ med en kvalitativ del och har utgått från en enkät med såväl kvantitativa som kvalitativa frågor. Enkäten delades ut till lärare i nio olika grundskolor i två kommuner i Västra Götalands län. Genom enkäten har vi undersökt utbredningen av lärarnas åsikter kring fysisk aktivitet i undervisningen och även gett dem utrymme att motivera och förklara sina åsikter.Resultatet av studien visar att majoriteten av lärarna anser att fysisk aktivitet i undervisningen har en positiv inverkan på elevers kognitiva förmågor såsom koncentration, minne och lärande.

Introduktion: En fysiskt aktiv livsstil är förenlig med många positiva hälsoeffekter hos både vuxna och ungdomar. Dessutom är upplevelsen av fysisk aktivitet i ungdomsåren en viktig parameter för en fortsatt fysiskt aktiv livsstil i vuxen ålder. Dock finns en stor grupp ungdomar som inte når rekommendationerna för fysisk aktivitet. Samtidigt anses ökad delaktighet, tillgänglighet och möjligheter till egna val vara viktiga aspekter för att ungdomar ska bli fysiskt aktiva.Syfte: Syftet med föreliggande studie är att undersöka vilka idrotts- och motionsanläggningar som ungdomar vill att det satsas på.Metod: Studiens design är en tvärsnittsstudie, där underlaget består av en enkätundersökning innehållandes 2,404 skolungdomar. Enkätunderlaget införskaffades inom projektet ?Ung livsstil? i Stockholms stad.
