Brief Summary

"PULSE - School-based intervention" is a feasibility study designed to support active travel among adolescents. The curricular intervention is designed to increase the students' health literacy as well as their autonomous motivation for active travel. The intervention will last for 6 weeks during fall 2023. The first session will be delivered by a science and education center, and the consecutive sessions will be delivered by teachers. PULSE sessions will contribute to the attainment of specific competence aims related to two interdisciplinary topics, "Health and life skills" and "Sustainability", as defined in PE, social science, and science. The research question is the following: Can increased attention to the barriers and benefits of active travel increase physical activity for youths?
