Level of physical activity and its relationship to some anthropometric variables related to health among male adolescents in secondary school (15-18) years old.

Abstract

The study aims to monitor and observe the level of physical activity and to identify the nature of the relationship between it and some anthropometric variables related to the health among male adolescents in secondary school  (15-18).For this purpose, we used the descriptive method on a sample composed of 182 male secondary school students in the city of Chlef. chosen at random. We evaluate the level of physical activity, BMI (kg/m)², body fat percentage, and waist circumference (cm). After collecting the results and having treated them statistically, we conclude that there is a variation in the level of physical activity and an inverse relationship between it and the anthropometric variables under study.
