Therefore, the primary objectives of this investigation are to assess: (i) whether compulsory (curriculum mandated) physical education (PE) is associated with BMI in school pupils; (ii) the minimum duration for compulsory PE to cause a change in BW or BMI in school pupils; (iii) whether additional PA, sports, or exercise intervention (beside ...
How to calculate BMI, the body mass index to check weight?
Body Mass Index (BMI) = Body weight / (height × height) Here the weight of the individual is measured in kilograms and the height is taken in metres. Example: Suppose an individual's body weight is 70 kg and his/her height is 1.60 m. Now compute these values. BMI = 70 / (1.60 x 1.60) = 70 / 2.56 = 27.34 kg/m2.

Interventions to prevent obesity in school-aged children 6-18 years: An
This updated synthesis of obesity prevention interventions for children aged 6-18 years, found a small beneficial impact on child BMI for school-based obesity prevention interventions. A more comprehensive assessment of interventions is required to identify mechanisms of effective interventions to inform future obesity prevention public health policy, which may be particularly salient in for ...

Physical education requirements and childhood obesity
Increasing the amount of time in PE up to the recommended amount of 150 minutes per week would lower BMI z-scores by 8% of a standard deviation, which is 12% of the mean, and would reduce the probability of obesity by four percentage points. Looking at gender we find that the reduction in BMI and obesity occurs only for boys.
