The rising importance of responsible environmental behaviour requires educational approaches that integrate sustainability into daily practices. Outdoor physical education combines sports activities with contact with nature, offering an effective way to foster ecological awareness and promote sustainability. These practices not only improve individuals' psychophysical wellbeing but also develop sense of responsibility toward the environment. This article aims to examine the state of the art on the benefits of outdoor physical education, emphasising its role in encouraging eco-responsible behaviours and supporting sustainability. It also explores how outdoor learning environments can provide valuable insights for future developments in educational practices aimed at sustainability.
