The course will provide an introduction to theory that includes the individual, interaction, and young people's physical activity related to physical education, sports and children's and youth sports. The individual perspective will mainly focus on children and young people's self-perception, motivation, development and learning. The interaction perspective will shed light on social processes and the relationship between different actors (teacher/coach, athlete/student) in physical activity, training, sports and physical education.
