It applies the concepts of proximity consumption and the 15-min city to sustainable and healthy habits. This study aims to evaluate the application of the concept of proximity to the provision of physical sports activities from an early age to reduce the drop-out rate of PA through collaboration between schools, local government, and the sports sector. A mixed methodology was used, applying a survey and interviews with the stakeholders to identify good practices when promoting physical activity at an early age. A total of 147 children and 10 adults (3 family members, 4 school managers or teachers, and 3 sports managers) participated. The main results included the importance of introducing sport and providing adequate facilities, namely through guided workshops. It influences not only the actual participation in sport but also the intention to continue practicing it. It is observed that children with less affinity for conventional sports benefit particularly from initiatives such as the KIA program. On the other hand, the lack of available resources and the influence of sports culture in families are considered the main barriers. They are factors that harm the quality of participation. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EUR/ERASMUS+622130-EPP-1-2020- 1-PT-SPO-SSCP info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.3 2023 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 159 / 358 = 0.444 2023 Q2 T2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 66 / 182 = 0.363 2023 Q2 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 58 / 91 = 0.637 2023 Q3 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 58 / 91 = 0.637 2023 Q3 T2 0.672 2023 Geography, Planning and Development 2023 Q1 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2023 Q2 Computer Networks and Communications 2023 Q2 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2023 Q2 Hardware and Architecture 2023 Q2 Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law 2023 Q2 Energy Engineering and Power Technology 2023 Q2 6.8 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Marcen, Celia Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5485-881X Mainer-Pardos, Elena Arbones-Arque, Irela 4009 775 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
