Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This research investigated the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI), physical activity, and self-esteem in junior high school students in Davao City, Region XI, Philippines. A quantitative descriptive correlational design was employed to determine the BMI classifications and physical activity levels in various settings, and dimensions of selfesteem of junior high school. Findings showed that most students have a normal BMI. Physical activity was reported to be moderate. The level of self-esteem was high. While no significant relationship manifested between BMI and self-esteem, a positive correlation was uncovered between physical activity and self-esteem. BMI did not influence self-esteem, however, physical activity influenced self-esteem.
