Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between physical activity and health related physical strength based on FTO Gene polymorphism of 96 male students of S-Elementary School in Suwon, Kyungi. The subjects were divided into the two types; AA+AT gene allele and TT gene allele. We measured amount of physical activity using IPAQ(International Physical Activity Questionnaires), check several parameters of PAPS(Physical Activity Promotion System). The results as follows: 1. The physical activity of elementary school students according to FTO gene polymorphism is higher in T type than A type(p＜.001). 2. There is no significant difference between health related physical strength and FTO gene polymorphism of elementary school students except power(p＜.05). In conclusion, A type has lower physical activity. Moreover, this genetic factor can affect physical activity and induce obesity rather than work as a genetic background. These suggest that there are no big difference in body composition and physical ability, but they have variability and elasticity. Therefore, enhancement of physical activity is important in these periods to prevent obesity.
