Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation of physical activity and sedentary activity in primary school students. Methods: 71 primary school students were recruited for this study. ActiGraph GT1M accelerometer (Pensacola, FL) were wore, except for sleeping and shower, during 7 consecutive test days for the measurement of physical activity. Results: There was no significantly correlation between sedentary activity and physical activity (p>.05). Among groups with either shorter or longer sedentary activities, there was no significant difference in physical activity performance (p>.05). Conclusion: Sedentary activity does not affect physical activity in primary school students. In other words, the duration of sedentary activities will not affect the duration of physical activities in primary school students.
