Authors : Boufrida Abdelmalek .
Abstract
This study aims to investigate the relationship between preventative physical activity and obesity among adolescent girls in secondary education, by comparing those who participate in physical activity with those who do not. The study employed a descriptive, analytical, and comparative approach. The sample consisted of 30 obese female students from the province of Guelma, randomly selected and equally divided into two groups: 15 who participate in physical activity and 15 who do not. Data were collected using anthropometric measurements, including height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and body fat percentage. Means and standard deviations were calculated, and an independent samples t-test was conducted to compare the indicators between the two groups. The results showed statistically significant differences between the two groups in both body mass index (BMI: t = -20.23, p < 0.001; body fat: t = -17.17, p < 0.001), with the group engaging in physical activity recording lower levels in both variables compared to the non-engaging group. The graphs and descriptive findings also demonstrated consistency with this trend, reflecting the protective role of healthy physical activity in reducing obesity severity and improving body composition among adolescent schoolgirls
