碩士 / 康寧大學 / 休閒管理研究所 / 100 / The aims of this research are manifold; namely to identify the relationships between and among extracurricular activity participation, BMI and self-perception of sixth graders.
Each of 397 sixth graders from Tainan Municipal Haidong Elementary School was given a questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed together with information regarding body size using SPSS 12.0 software, including descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, two-way ANOVA, and Pearson’s product-moment correlation analysis.
The major findings of this research are as follows:
1.Most students’ BMI meets the standard requirement; however, more boys than girls are overweight or obese.
2.Boys, in general, have a more positive image of their bodies.
3.Students who join in sports-oriented extracurricular clubs tend to have a higher opinion of their appearance and self-image, while those who join in recreational extracurricular clubs care less about their appearance and body size, showing poorer self-perception of their body image.
4.Students with a proper body size feel more confident in their own body image. Striking differences and correlations between their BMI and self-perception are found.
5.It was also found that gender difference and sexual maturity are correlated with BMI and self-perception.
