ABSTRACT
Objective@#To assess physical activity level and characteristics in elementary physical education (P.E.) class among different weight status and grades students.@*Methods@#ActiGraphGT3X was used to measure physical activity of 60 students in grade 1, 2, and 4 during three P.E. classes. BMI was calculated according to the student s height and weight in the latest physical fitness test results, and the weight status was divided according to the national Physical Fitness Standards for Students in different grades of elementary schools. Independent sample t test and analysis of variance were used to explore the difference of physical activity.@*Results@#The proportion of moderate to high intensity physical activity (MVPA) in elementary school P.E. class was 21.9% (8.8 min). The proportion of MVPA in P.E. classes and the number of steps in normal weight students were 25.4% and (1 247.0± 326.3 ), respectively, which were significantly higher than those of underweight students, but not significantly different from those of overweight students. The MVPA of male and female PE classes in the second grade (27.0%, 26.4%) was significantly higher than that in the first grade, but there was no significant difference compared with that in the fourth grade ( P >0.05).@*Conclusion@#Moderate to high intensity physical activity is low in P.E. class in elementary school. Improving teachers awareness of promoting physical activity in PE class will benefit the MVPA in students.
