Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relative obesity according to physical activity and school physical activity of adolescents using the raw data based on 12th (2016) Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (KYRBS). As a result, the following conclusions are drawn. All BMI classification groups of middle & high school students in Korea show a tendency to practice simairl physical activities. The relative obesity according to the physical activity of middle & high school students is more likely to be normal weight and underweight than overweight and obesity when high intensity, low inetnsity and strength enhanced physical activity are practiced. The more the number of school physical activity classes and sports participation teams of middle & high school boys are, the relative obesity is more likely to be normal weight and the lower body weight than overweight and obesity. The relative obesity rate according to the physical activities for the middle & high school girls is less likely to be normal weight rather than overweight and obesity when high intensity, moderate physical activity are practiced. And the higher the number of the school physical education class hours and the sports participation teams of the middle & and high school girls are, the relative obesity is more likely to be overweight and obesity rather than low body weight or the normal body. In order to promote physical activity for adolescents, it is necessary for the school to provide a way for the school boys, especially the girls, to participate in active physical activity with interest in school physical education time and sports activity time.
