This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge and capacity of junior high school teachers to promote students' physical activity through education on the World Health Organization (WHO) Guidelines and training on Physical Activity Breaks. The workshop was held on 28 April 2026 at SMP Negeri 15 Yogyakarta and attended by 56 teachers, including Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PESH) teachers as well as teachers from other subject areas. The workshop covered physical activity, physical fitness, sedentary behavior in line with WHO Guidelines, and the implementation of Physical Activity Breaks in classroom learning, complemented by hands-on practice sessions. Participants' knowledge was evaluated using pre- and post-tests. The results showed that the average percentage of correct responses increased from 77.5% in the pre-test to 94.2% in the post-test, representing an improvement of 16.7 percentage points. Improvements were observed across all assessment items, particularly those related to Physical Activity Breaks and the WHO recommendations for physical activity. The outputs of this program include a partnership agreement with the partner school, a Physical Activity Breaks training module, publication on the official website of the Physical Education, Health, and Recreation Study Program at Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta, and a manuscript submitted to a community service journal. This program demonstrates that workshops are an effective strategy for strengthening teachers' capacity to foster a more active and healthier school environment and to support the teaching and learning process.
