Children with intellectual disabilities (ID) are less likely to meet physical activity (PA) guidelines and have higher tendencies towards sedentary behaviors. Considering a large proportion of a child's day is spent at school, this setting provides a promising environment for increasing PA levels. Staff often significantly impact the success of PA within schools.

This article develops knowledge of what can characterize such teaching, particularly regarding goal and motive, content, and teaching actions. The material was generated in 2018–2019 in collaboration with 42 preschool departments in Sweden.

Forskningsöversikten omfattar internationella studier som berör relationen mellan undervisning i idrott och hälsa (physical education) och olika idéer om kroppsvikt. Resultaten visar att när beskrivningar av olika syften, undervisningsinnehåll och undervisningsmetoder granskades så utgick undervisningen från tre distinkt skida diskurser: 1. En riskdiskurs, 2. En kritisk överviktsdiskurs, och/eller 3. En pluralistisk diskurs.
