| Descripción: | The purpose of the investigation was to describe the levels of physical activity (PA) of students of elementary schools in urban and semi-urban areas during physical education classes (PE), the context of the lesson, and teacher interactions. This was a cross-sectional observational-descriptive study of 360 students during physical education classes in first cycle in elementary schools. The System for Observing Fitness Instruction Time (SOFIT) was used to evaluate these variables. As a result, students perform less physical activity than the average recommended by the literature. Only 30.2 % and 9 % of PE lessons corresponded to activities of moderate (AMI) and vigorous (AV) intensity. Women had lower levels of PA than men, and schools in urban areas did not show more physical activity of moderate to vigorous intensity than in semi-urban areas. According to the context of the lesson, it was found that one third is devoted to administrative matters and a quarter to instruction and physical fitness. In conclusion, PA during PE classes in schools is below international recommendations. |
