Physical Activity and Motor Fitness Skill Level of Children and Adolescents: A Motivational Factor for Health and Physical Education
Abstract: Background Physical fitness could be referred to as a well-structured, organized, planned and technically executed physical activity and exercise programmes with bearing to circuit training, which could require use of maximum volume of oxygen (VO2 max. ) for all categories within body mass index (BMI), intake and expenditure of kilocalories by musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems for fitness, wellness, healthy lifestyle, reduction in cardiovascular related sicknesses, mortality and morbidity, whiles physical activity under motor fitness skill could be referred to as a public health factor that relates to human movement patterns of musculoskeletal systems that could require intake and expenditure of kilocalories from macro-and-micro nutrients for improved healthy lifestyle and decrease in cardiovascular related sicknesses, morbidity and mortality. This study aimed at scoring measured and evaluated factors under physical activity and motor fitness skill level of children and adolescents a motivational factor for health and physical education. Methods Adopted instrument for this survey was American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation (AAHPER). IBM-SPSSv.23 Statistics analyzed variables, with mean and standard deviation (MSD) age (14.55.5) with response rate (100 %) of sampled participants (N=122), ranged (9-20) years, selected through simple random sampling. Results Significant differences were tested @ level of p
