KEY TEXT for this topic!
Factors associated with changes in physical activity [http://archpedi.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=481397] examines the impact of "personal factors (self-acceptance, self-worth, athletic competence, body image, depressive mood, perceived benefits, enjoyment of physical activity, self-efficacy, and body mass index), behavioral factors (watching television and time constraints), and socio-environmental factors (social support and costs/resources)" on physical activity. It suggests that time management on decreasing support are the key factors causing lower participation.
Personal and situational factors influencing intrinsic interest of adolescent girls in school physical education [http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0144341960160307]. This article has some useful scales for measuring enthusiastic participation and found that feeling comfortable in class and skill levels are more important than personal goals.

Fitness Promotion for Adolescent Girls [http://search.proquest.com/openview/babdd5c99379946008093684dfc5b0f9/1?pq-origsite=gscholar] suggests that teenage girls associate thin bodies with high fitness, but that they are critical of the messages surrounding thin bodies. This may indicate that scepticism about being able to achieve a thin, fit body may hinder students from participating in sport.
An Investigation into the psychosocial factors relating to physical activity and fitness among female adolescents [http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14768320601124915] identities a number of barriers to participation in fitness activities. Interestingly, the interentions created further barriers to participation rather than breaking them down! This will have implications for your recommendations for RGHS.
Interesting point - This article [http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.3109/17477160903576093] found that education and social class had a large impact on Spanish adolescents' fitness and obesity levels, especially for girls. Does this match with your survey findings?
