本研究是為探討國小高年級學童在運動行為飲食行為與身體意象之間的關係。以大臺中地區國小五、六年級學生為研究對象,共發出400份問卷,回收有效問卷369份,問卷回收率92.3%。經統計分析結果顯示,國小高年級學童有規律運動行為者對其身體意象會有正相關,尤其是在體能評估與健康自我方面更是顯著。國小高年級學童養成運動習慣不僅對體能方面會有幫助,對於自我的健康也會有所提升。國小高年級學童的飲食習慣之去油習慣和重視標示對於運動行為則具有負向的影響力。學童的運動行為不會因為飲食習慣而有所影響,而飲食行為與飲食習慣並不會影響到身體意象改變,但飲食習慣中的去油習慣會影響到學童的身體意象。學童在飲食習慣中如果有做到去油習慣者,則他的運動行為對身體意象具中介的影響效果,尤其是健康評估方面更為明顯。最後根據本研究結果提出之建議,藉以提供教育單位及國小教師作為教育學童的參考。以提升學童養成運動行為及正確的飲食習慣和身體意象。
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship among exercise, food intake and body image of the pupils at fifth and sixth grade.
