Abstract

Background: currently, the importance of daily physical exercise for students is relevant, since it has an impact on their state of health. Thus, the importance of interventions to promote students' physical exercise is fundamental. Aim: to identify, by means of a systematic review, the importance of intervention programs in the development of physical exercise on students' self-efficacy and learning. Materials and methods: a search for articles was carried out in different databases, specifically in Scopus, Psicodoc, PsycINFO, Web of Science, PubMed and SportDiscus. Thus, a total of 716 documents were obtained which, after applying the established inclusion criteria, left 4 studies for review. Results: the sample consisted of a total of 2.414 students. The results revealed the positive effects of the practice of physical activity in young people by increasing perceptions, attitudes towards physical activity, self-efficacy and improved learning. Conclusion: the results found in the present study are considered relevant. However, it is recommended that new intervention programs take these results into account, in order to corroborate these findings.

Keywords: Learning; Self-efficacy; Physical Exercise; Students; Systematic Review.
