Extracurricular activities benefit the integral development of students by stimulating the development of various abilities, capacities and / or talents. In addition, they represent an opportunity to counteract the levels of sedentary lifestyle that young people present at the school level.

For the evaluation of the characteristics of the extracurricular activities implemented in the different establishments, a questionnaire of three dimensions (general characteristics, material resources and experience of the responsable in charge) was applied. Results: The evaluated extracurricular activities are mostly of the sports category, of formative orientation and given by responsables in charge with more than three years of experience, mainly Physical Education teachers, men and with an age between 31 and 40 years.
