THE IMPACT OF THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT ON STUDENTS' PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Keywords:
School Environment, Physical Activity, Sports Facilities, Student Health, Physical EducationAbstract
The school environment has a very important role in determining the level of physical activity of students. This study aims to analyze the impact of the school environment on students' physical activity, focusing on sports facilities, green open spaces, and school policies. Through quantitative and qualitative approaches, data were collected from surveys and interviews with students and teachers in several schools in Makassar. The results showed that schools with adequate sports facilities and a supportive environment tend to have more physically active students. This research is expected to provide recommendations for the development of better education policies.
