The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between physical activity and fitness in 212 South African rural primary school children. A questionnaire was used to gather physical activities performed during the whole week. The results show a few significant relationships between physical activity and sit-ups, shuttle run and 1600m run in girls, but none in boys. The gender difference may be explained by a ceiling effect in boys. The general absence of significant findings may be explained by the low nutritional status, unrecorded physical activity duration, high levels of physical activity, and heterogeneity in growth and maturation.
本文旨在探討南非鄉鎮地區小學生身體活動量與體適能的關係,以問卷方式進行調查學童過去一星期的身體活動量,結果顯示女學童的身體活動量與仰臥起坐,來回跑及一千六百米跑有顯著相關,而男生的活動量與體適能卻沒有相關,這現象可能受其他因素影響所致。
