Ruiz-Ariza, Alberto; Suárez-Manzano, Sara; López-Serrano, Sebastián; Martínez-López, Emilio J. – European Physical Education Review, 2019
Evidence suggests that moderate physical activity (PA) positively relates to creativity and emotional intelligence (EI) in adolescents. However, it is unknown whether cooperative PA (physical exercises in pairs or small groups to enhance motivation, self-efficacy, and pro-social behaviours), performed over less time but at higher intensity, could…
