Background Physical activity (PA) supports children’s psychological well-being (PWB) and resilience, but the impact of social-emotional learning (SEL) remains underexplored.Purpose This study examined associations between real-time moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) during quality physical education (QPE), total daily PA, and SEL with resilience and PWB among school-aged students.Methods Participants included 106 fourth- and sixth-grade students volunteering in a 12-week Smart-QPE intervention. Real-time MVPA% during PE was assessed using the Heart Zone Move System. Following intervention, students completed four questionnaires via Qualtrics: PA Questionnaire for Older Children, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, World Health Organization Well-Being Index, and Students SEL Questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analyzed associations between PA, resilience, and PWB.Results MVPA% in QPE, three daily PA variables, and SEL significantly predicted PWB (F = 32.374, p < .001, 56.2% variance) and resilience (F = 9.804, p < .001, 28% variance). SEL was the strongest predictor of resilience (β = 0.468, p < .001) and PWB (β = 0.69, p < .001).Conclusions PA and SEL contribute to resilience and PWB, supporting school-based interventions.Translation to Health Education Practice Findings support implementing Smart QPE interventions and SEL into school curricula to enhance resilience and PWB.
