The multidisciplinary study project increases the understanding of teachers' and students' experiences and engagement in physically active academic lessons in upper secondary school. In addition, the acute effects of physically active academic lessons on students' cognitive prerequisites of learning and situational engagement are measured. This consortium combines solid knowledge of both teaching and physical activity to study this phenomenon from both student's and subject teacher's perspectives from different layers of action (collected experiences and measured prerequisites of learning). The project provides essential evidence-based recommendations of physically active classroom practices for teachers and teacher education to support the development of subject teachers' competence and, above all, to enhance student learning and well-being.
