Abstract

Schools as wider learning ecosystems could students, teachers, and families have greater access to learning resources through social interactions and cooperate to improve the quality of life of the educational community through social interaction. This paper presents a new Helthy Project at the IES «Princesa Galiana» de Toledo, to generate an educative engagement culture, improving the quality of life of adolescents, teachers and families, and can contribute to the progress of the school and society. 309 high school students carried out 55 activities during 2018-2019 school year. We have used the descriptive, cross-sectional, quasi-experimental method. Lifestyle has been measured (EYHS questionnaire), physical condition and body composition (Alpha Fitness Battery), Measurement of Intentionality to be Physically Active (MIFA) and satisfaction with the Project. The results show that the intervention through the synergies established between teachers, students, families and local entities, significantly contribute to the increase in the quality of life of the entire educational community, highlighting the increase in sports, improving nutrition and reducing sedentary lifestyle. Therefore, the Project carried out an awareness of healthy, active habits, with a good diet against sedentary lifestyle, causing habits that will last into adult life.
