This article aims to provide knowledge on how school management and teachers respond to and adapt to the implementation of Physically Active Learning (PAL), with a special focus on identifying the barriers and driving forces that affect this process [1]. Through the collection and analysis of qualitative data, focus group interviews of school management and teachers, the article seeks to uncover and promote strategies for integrating PAL into daily teaching, making it a natural part of the school curriculum. It places special emphasis on teachers' attitudes and experiences, arguing that their engagement is essential for successful implementation. The article also explores the role of supportive leadership as a key factor for the success of PAL initiatives. It analyzes how the structural elements of school practice can be addressed and challenged and proposes strategic approaches for policy development and realization of PAL [2]. By highlighting the participants’ experiences, the article provides insight that contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the implementation methods for PAL.
