General description Sedentary leisure has become an important problem for childhood and adolescence. The educational system is expected to be able to promote active lifestyles. This means that teacher influence goes beyond the school and helps the students to be active during their free time, which requires some specific training in physical education for leisure. This subject deals with the didactic processing of leisure contents of physical education curricula. Furthermore, information about elementary students’ free-time physical activity is given to help future teachers to design more accurate programs for their pupils. The organization of both complementary and after-school activities is also an important part in this course. There is growing social awareness of the need for teachers with specific skills in education and school-age groups to teach leisure activities. These skills are part of the primary school teacher training. Poorly trained teachers are no longer welcome in leisure educational settings, and families demand highly qualified professionals, who are able to organize leisure activities with educational purposes. The Physical Education branch in Primary Teacher Training contents most related to leisure are the following: leisure education in childhood and its relation with physical activity; lifetime physical and sports activities; physical activities in natural settings; and design and development of educational proposals.
