Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study investigated that what factors at childhood related to physical activity at adolescence using longitudinal analysis. Results of analysis, weak and negative relationship were showed between moderate-vigorous physical activity at adolescence(MVPA-A) and body fat at childhood. Positive and moderate relationship were showed between MVPA-A and physical fitness(aerobic capacity). Motor skills are distinguished locomotive skills(LS:skip,jump...) from object control skills(OS:throw, kick...). Higher relationship was showed between MVPA-A and OS than LS.This study revealed that active children at adolescence tended to have higher physical fitness and object control skills.
