Participants were high school 1st, 2nd and 3th grade students (N = 271), of both genders, aged between 15 e 23 years. This research was conducted at a public state school of São Paulo, as part of regular physical education classes. For each grade fifteen classes were carried out: three introductory classes, (one for each activity), three for conclusion (one for each activity) and three in which the choice was possible. The dependent variable was choice quantity on each theme (social, competition, game-like and fitness) at walking, running and indoor soccer activities.
