El presente trabajo está estructurado en dos partes. En la primera se ha realizado un análisis comparativo de los sistemas educativos de España y Finlandia y del tratamiento que se le da a la Educación Física en la etapa de educación secundaria obligatoria en ambos países.

Los resultados permitirán diseñar nuevas estrategias para ofertar planes efectivos de actividad física entre adolescentes que minimicen el sedentarismo creciente observado en estos grupos de edad.
