Abstract
Over the last ten years, research has shown that adolescent activity has decreased in both
developed and developing countries. One way of meeting desirable physical activity levels
for adolescents in schools is through physical education. Structured physical education is the
ideal form of what physical education should entail, however unstructured physical education
can also be incorporated as a method to increase physical activity. Because little is known
about the benefits of both these types of physical education, this study aimed to investigate
the perceived benefits of structured and unstructured physical education lessons as perceived
by Grade Eight and Grade Nine learners and physical education and/or life orientation
educators in Cape Town high schools.
