Abstract
In accordance with the Norwegian Education Act, all Norwegian schools are obliged to facilitate the completion of 76 hours of physical activity for pupils at intermediate level (5th-7th grade). These hours must be in addition to the physical education lessons. The purpose of this empirical research is to survey whether the guidance in the legislation is followed up, how it is done and to increase knowledge of appropriate procedures to facilitate physical activity in schools. The methodological approach is via surveys from all primary schools (n=10) in a selected Norwegian municipality. Proposals for measures and recommendations for the implementation of physical activity at intermediate level in Norwegian schools is presented.
