Accelerometers were used to measure the MVPA time of students, and formal interviews were conducted to identify the factors that contributed to the MVPA level of students in TGfU classes. Results. The results reveal that the TGfU [t (1, 57) = - 11.622, p <.001 and d=".841]" technical p group exhibited significantly improved mvpa levels in intervention phase. during the period time of tgfu sd="3.74)" was longer than that technique t .001 moreover classes boys spent more engaging girls .09 however no significant differences were determined between high- low-skilled students. data gathered through interviews suggested nature games small-sided team freedom enjoyment experienced by students may explain high observed classes. conclusion. can potentially be used to promote physical activities attain recommended pe>
