초록

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of body fatness on daily exercise and eating habits in elementary school children. A total of 571 upper-class boys, who attended at the elementary schools located at the city of Jin-Ju, voluntarily participated in this study. The participants' daily exercise and eating habits were compared and analyzed across body fatness levels of extremely lean, lean, normal weight, overweight, and obesity, and we found the following results:

1. Percentages of overweight and obesity were 14.2% and 11.0%, respectively, indicating that 25.2% of the participants was estimated to be the risk group for obesity. In addition, 21.3% and 8.3% of the participants were classified as lean and extremely lean groups, respectively, so that only 45.1% belonged to the normal weight group.

2. The obese boys disliked to exercise with low satisfactions to exercising and low volumes of daily physical activities, and their preferences for sports were competitive games. On the other hand, the lean boys exercised on a regular basis, and their exercise volume and frequency were high and often with relatively high satisfaction to exercising.

3. Although on well-balanced diets, the obese boys tended to have heavy meals with less snacks, and they were fast-eaters with a high preference for fast-foods. On the other hand, the lean boys tended to have unbalanced diets, and they were also fast-eaters with regular breakfasts.

The current findings of the study suggest that 1) for the obese boys, exercise duration needs to be increased enough with proper guidances to sports games, categories of various snacks, and healthy eating habits, and 2) for the lean boys, proper guidances to healthy eating habits and dietary intakes are necessary. In addition, development of healthy diet and exercise programs based on self-diagnosis of obesity and their applications to schools and homes are urgently necessary so that the elementary boys can practice healthy exercise and eating habits on a daily basis.
