ABSTRACT

The purpose of present study was to investigate the correlation between BMI and four components of Health Related Physical Fitness (H.R.P.F) in male children   of tribal region in Chhattisgarh. The study was conducted on a cross sectional sample of 437 male children into seven  age groups i. e. 12 (N=63), 13(N=59),, 14(N=63),. 15(N=63),, 16(N=63),, 17(N=63) and 18(N=63) years belong to middle (N=215) and higher secondary (N=222) schools. In order to find out  the relationship between BMI and  health-related physical fitness on its four components of male school children ranging between twelve to eighteen years of age,  means,  standard deviations and Pearson Moment Coefficient Correlation  were computed.  The results of the investigation  revealed the positive correlation between BMI and  abdominal strength of male school children  in age of twelve, thirteen, sixteen to eighteen years and negative correlation  in fourteen and fifteen years of age. BMI directly correlated with the cardiovascular function in age of thirteen, fifteen and sixteen years and inversely correlated  in twelve, fourteen, seventeen and eighteen years of age. BMI positively correlated with flexibility of back and hamstring muscles with advancement of  age except in  fifteen years of age group children. BMI positively correlated with the body composition with advancement of age  except in seventeen and eighteen years of age.

Keywords: BMI, Children, Physical Fitness, flexibility, strength,  health.
