Abstract	El Salvador has the second largest homicide rate in the world and young males commit the majority of these homicides. Designing and implementing active learning education solutions to counter youth violence in El Salvador at an early age have been identified as effective intervention strategies. This study examined the link between aggressive behaviours and life skills development among Salvadoran school children and the potential role that physical education plays in the prevention of youth violence. A mixed-methods longitudinal design over a three year period was used to examine the development of life skills and aggressive behaviours amongst boys and girls attending schools that had PE teachers trained on the use of a life skills based approach to PE. Longitudinal results presented here highlighted that school-based physical education can help to foster healthy behaviours around life skills and aggressive behaviours, particularly for boys. Interviews with students, teachers, and school directors highlight the unique role that physical education can play in developing life skills and applying them. Results from this study suggest the need for targeted physical education interventions that adopt a life skills-based approach. (Autor).
