A person who is obese may be at risk for a number of health problems due to the abnormal or excessive buildup of fat in their body. Physical exercise is one of the risk factors that can result in obesity. Obesity risk can arise from physical inactivity. It is advised that kids and teens (ages 5 to 12) engage in moderately intense physical activity for at least 60 minutes each day. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how physical activity and the prevalence of obesity in elementary schools serving grades 4-6 are related. This study, which is a case-control observational analytical investigation, involved up to 158 participants, of whom 79 were obese and 79 were normal weight. With a odds ratio of 0.318 and p value of 0.001, the statistical test findings demonstrated a significant correlation between physical activity and the occurrence of obesity among Elementary School students. The study's findings led to the conclusion that physical activity and the prevalence of obesity were significantly correlated.
