Noise Reduction and Sustainability in Physical Education: Impacts on Health and the School Environment

Health promotion at school is fundamental, as this environment facilitates educational actions in multiple dimensions, including physical, social and community (Hao et al., 2022). However, there is a gap in the literature on the integration between health and sustainability in physical education, especially in relation to continuous exposure to noise in multifunctional rooms (AMOATEY et al., 2020; GUSKI, SCHRECKENBERG and SCHUEMER, 2017). This study systematically investigated the effects of using recyclable and sustainable materials on reducing noise in physical education learning environments, evaluating its impact on the health of students and teachers in public schools. The bibliographic search was carried out in the PubMed and Web of Science databases, covering articles published in English between 2018 and 2023. Several studies analyzed intelligibility and noise-induced stress using questionnaires and biological indicators (DEPRÁ et al. 2022). Noise must be treated as a public health problem, and the adoption of sustainable strategies, such as installing ecological acoustic panels in multifunctional rooms, can significantly reduce noise levels, providing a more appropriate teaching environment and promoting teacher health.
