Interface between body mass index and physical activity of city's and district's physical education teachers during lessons

Research object – interface between body mass index and physical activity of city’s and district’s physical education teachers during lessons. The aim of the research – to establish relations between factors of physical activity, age and body mass index of the teachers of physical education. Tasks of the research: 1. To ascertain age and body mass index of physical education teachers in the schools of city and district; 2. To establish city and district schools‘ physical education teachers‘ physical activity during their lessons; 3. To evaluate relations between body mass index and physical activity of physical education teachers during lessons in the schools of city and district. The hypothesis of the study is as follows: during lessons, physical activity of city schools’ physical education teachers’ is greater in comparison to those of district schools’. Conclusions: 1. City’s and district’s schools have significantly greater number of physical education teachers who are aged between 51 and 60: city’s schools have 50 pct., while district’s – 60 pct. (p > 0,05). 60 pct. city’s physical education teachers have normal body mass index, while 60 pct. district’s physical education teachers have overweight (p > 0,05). 2. 90 pct. city’s and 80 pct. district’s physical education teachers are under physical activity of high intensity. 20 pct. district’s and 10 pct. city’s physical education teachers are under moderate physical activity (p > 0,05). 3. Body mass index of more physically active physical education teachers is normal, while physical education teachers who are less physically active have a greater body mass index. Lack of physical activity promotes the emergence of obesity among physical education teachers
