摘要

Purpose

To assess the contribution of moderate-vigorous intensity physical activity performed during physical education classes to the daily moderate-vigorous physical activity levels of children and adolescents.

Methods

The design was conducted according to PRISMA requirements and has been registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020184360). The search was conducted in Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, ERIC and SPORTDISCUS. Fifteen publications were selected for review and 13 for meta-analysis. A meta-analysis model was run for continuous measures and random or fixed effects based on homogeneity scores. Heterogeneity was studied using Tau2 and I2 tests. The publication bias was assessed using the funnel plot supported by Egger’s regression asymmetry test for significance.

Results

Five studies show that the activity contribution of physical education accounts for 10–20% of the absolute daily moderate-vigorous physical activity. All studies show that physical education contributes for 10–15% to the total moderate-vigorous physical activity per day of physical education days. Moderate-vigorous physical activity during physical education classes was 11.33 min (95%CI 7.92–14.75; I2 = 99%; Tau2 = 11.88) in children and 13.08 min (95%CI 8.69–17.46; I2 = 99%; Tau2 = 24.73) in adolescents, with no differences between these age subgroups (MD = -1.75, p = 0.539).

Conclusion

Young people do 12.3 min of moderate-vigorous physical activity in physical education, which represents that moderate-vigorous physical activity in physical education contributes 20% of the absolute moderate-vigorous physical activity per day and 13% of the total moderate-vigorous physical activity of physical education days, although substantial heterogeneity was observed across studies.
