The issue brief by the Sports and Society Accelerator builds the case for active schools in India.
Many Indian children and adolescents lack sufficient engagement in sports and physical activity (SAPA), which has both immediate and long-term consequences. Schools offer a prime opportunity to instill physical activity and literacy through mandatory programs, sports, and after-school activities.
Research shows childhood habits often persist into adulthood, making it crucial to promote sports and physical activity (SAPA) early. This document promotes active schools in India with a physical literacy approach and offers a framework for integrating, monitoring, and assessing school-based physical activity.
