More so, the study findings showed that most schools have a positive school culture. Basing on the study findings, the study concluded that there exists positive perceptions on the meaning of physical activity and its benefits. The findings showed still that most schools don’t have school teams to take part in extramural activities such as interschool competitions and also showed that school administrators don’t agree that physical activity improves concentration levels and educational performances of the children. Therefore, the researcher recommended the following; creation of PA awareness programs, construction of public facilities to be shared, development of a district sports structure that allows/ incorporates all schools participating in extramural activities.
