KNOWLEDGE OF THE INFLUENCE OF LIFESTYLE ON FITNESS PROMOTION AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
ABSTRACT
viA diminishing level of physical activity and preponderance of unhealthy lifestyles among adolescents and youths are presently a public health issue, in view of the long term implications of present levels of physical inactivity and pervasive unhealthy lifestyles.
This research study was carried out to analyse the influence of knowledge of lifestyle on fitness promotion among Edo State Secondary School Students. A field survey was conducted out with 150 respondents randomly recruited from five schools in the Benin Metropolis. Responses from the participants were evaluated using the Chi Square test.
Results demonstrated that students hold a low level of knowledge of the influence of lifestyle on fitness promotion. Hence it was also revealed that students lead lives that do not enhance their health and even overall wellbeing, neither do they reach prescribed levels ofphysical activity.
In the view of the foregoing, it was basically recommended that all stakeholders including the government, school administrations, health organisations and parents should in their different roles, help in promoting the adoption of healthy lifestyles as well as increased physical activity by secondary school students and youths in general.
