Includes bibliographical references (p. 173-214). Overweight, obesity and declining levels of physical fitness have been identified as a problem in many developed countries (1). More recently concern has been raised as a result of the rapid increase in the prevalence rates of overweight and obesity in developing nations ((2); (3); (4); (5)). However, little information is available at a national level for South African primary school children. In this thesis, the current nutritional status and baseline measures of physical fitness are established for a large and representative sample of South African primary school children from a range of ethnic and socioeconomic groups. Interactions between nutritional factors and physical fitness are also considered. 2014-07-28T18:15:53Z 2014-07-28T18:15:53Z 2009 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/3219 eng application/pdf Department of Human Biology Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
