After forty (40) studies were thoroughly analysed, eighteen (18) publications not involving psychological factors, five (5) publications involving research methods and six (6) review studies were excluded. The remaining eleven (11) studies were used after review. The results of the present systematic review showed that school-based physical activity interventions contribute positively to children's physical fitness and psychological health while ensuring a healthy life for years to come.
