The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire on physical activity given to students at INS Europa school in Portugal. It finds that most students walk to school daily, with boys walking longer distances than girls. All students have two physical education classes per week, where the most popular sports for boys are football and for girls are basketball and volleyball. The graph shows that boys participate in more extracurricular sports than girls, with rugby and football being the most popular for boys and twirling and basketball for girls. In conclusion, while students are active in PE and extracurriculars, reducing screen time and increasing physical activity could help them become even healthier.
