About this trial
The goal of this study is to learn if a classroom-based physical activity program can improve academic self-efficacy in university students.
The main question it aims to answer is: Do students who take part in classroom-based physical activities have higher academic self-efficacy scores than students who do not? Researchers will compare students in classrooms that do the physical activity program to students in classrooms that continue their usual class routine (no extra activities).
Participants will:
If in the activity group: take part in one time per day, five times a week, a total of eight weeks during regular classes.
If in the control group: attend classes as normal. Complete a questionnaire about their academic self-efficacy.
