A person who is obese may be at risk for a number of health problems due to the abnormal or excessive buildup of fat in their body. Physical exercise is one of the risk factors that can result in obesity. Obesity risk can arise from physical inactivity. It is advised that kids and teens (ages 5 to 12) engage in moderately intense physical activity for at least 60 minutes each day. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how physical activity and the prevalence of obesity in elementary schools serving grades 4-6 are related. This study, which is a case-control observational analytical investigation, involved up to 158 participants, of whom 79 were obese and 79 were normal weight. With an odds ratio of 0.318 and p value of 0.001, the statistical test findings demonstrated a significant correlation between physical activity and the occurrence of obesity among Elementary School students. The studys findings led to the conclusion that physical activity and the prevalence of obesity were significantly correlated.

This study concluded that the prevalence of obesity among elementary school students is significantly correlated with physical activity.The findings suggest that children who engage in little to no physical exercise are more likely to become obese than those who engage in moderate physical activity.In this regard, schools are a crucial setting for implementing programs that can promote physical activity and thus help prevent the onset of obesity.

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk menggali lebih dalam faktor-faktor spesifik yang memengaruhi hubungan antara aktivitas fisik dan obesitas pada anak-anak sekolah dasar, seperti jenis aktivitas fisik yang paling efektif, durasi yang optimal, dan pengaruh lingkungan sosial dan budaya. Selain itu, studi intervensi yang dirancang secara khusus untuk meningkatkan aktivitas fisik di sekolah dan di rumah perlu diuji coba untuk melihat efektivitasnya dalam mencegah obesitas pada anak-anak. Terakhir, penelitian kualitatif yang melibatkan wawancara dengan anak-anak, orang tua, dan guru dapat memberikan wawasan yang lebih mendalam tentang persepsi, motivasi, dan hambatan terkait aktivitas fisik, sehingga dapat membantu dalam merancang program yang lebih sesuai dan berkelanjutan untuk mempromosikan gaya hidup sehat pada anak-anak.
