Abstract
The increasing episodes of Bullying and Cyberbullying that see pre-adolescents and adolescents as victims, impose themselves on the school as a concrete educational emergency. In the Italian school context, the various strategies aimed at dealing with the phenomenon of Bullying and Cyberbullying have been implemented through numerous projects oriented to promote legality. However, few studies have investigated the role of Physical Activity in counteracting this phenomenon. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to provide strategies aimed at identifying and preventing psychological or social problems, encouraging the acquisition of positive lifestyles, precisely through the enhancement of play and sport as moments of socialization, learning and integration.
The results of this study indicated that Physical Activity plays a mediating role between improving the emotional climate in the classroom and the acquisition of social skills and abilities in studentsKeywords
