Abstract | Adolescent females' disengagement from physical education, physical activity, and sport has been well documented. Participating in a quality intramural program could help to increase rates of adolescent females' engagement in physical activity at school. This study was conducted with female students in four high schools in south-central Canada. A school-specific organizing committee consisting of an outside expert, teacher-lead, and several female student-facilitators designed and implemented a new optional intramural program rooted in best practices to 483 female students. Semistructured focus group interviews were held with 25 student-facilitators before and after the intramural intervention. There was a noticeable reduction in the females' perceived barriers to being engaged in physical activity at school after the program intervention. Accommodating the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and environmental needs of adolescent females may help intramurals to counter the allure of more sedentary options at school. (As Provided). |
