Abstract
As physical activity continues to diminish, the importance of a physical education
foundation becomes a necessity for a healthy lifestyle. There is a steady decline in physical
activity in teenagers ages 14 to 18 in both male and female students. Understanding what
motivates teenagers to be physically active can help turn this problem around. Analysis of
previous research shows that peer motivation can significantly improve a teenager’s motivation
to participate in physical education or physical activity. The purpose of this synthesis was to
review the literature on the effect of peer influence on a student’s motivation to participate in
physical education.
