PAL intervention involves integrating PA into academic lessons, specifically within the subject of mathematics. This subject has a substantial body of evidence supporting its applicability for PAL, as it is a core subject taught in all grades of secondary education (The mathematics teacher corresponding to this intervention group, previously trained and with the constant support of the research team, oversees implementing the strategies in their academic lessons. Before each PAL class, the research team and the mathematics teacher collaborate in a meeting to determine the specific content to be covered and co-develop the activities to be included in the session. Some examples of activities used in the sessions can be found in the following free downloadable book:
