The primary purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between (a) the amount of time seventh-grade and eighth-grade Korean children spend watching television and the-amount of time these children spend participating in physical activity; (b) the amount of time children spend playing video/computer games and the amount of time they spend participating in physical activity; (c) the amount of time children spend watching television and their body mass index (BMI); and (d) the amount of time children spend playing video/computer games and their BMI. The second purpose of this study was to correlate gender differences in television viewing, video/computer game playing, physical activity, and body mass index among these children. The sample for this study consisted of 199 male and 198 female Korean seventh-grade and eighth-grade students, aged 13 through 16, who volunteered to participate in this research. Participants completed the Survey questionnaire, television and video/computer games time diary, and Specific physical activity, sports, and recreational games diary. There was a strong negative relationship between the amount of time children spent watching television and the amount of time they spent participating in physical activities. Also there was a strong negative relationship between the amount of time children spent playing video/computer games and the amount of time they spent participating in physical activities. There was a strong positive relationship between the amount of time children spent watching television and their body mass index. Also there was a strong positive relationship between the amount of time children spent playing video/computer games and the body mass index (BMI) of these children. There were no gender differences in the correlation between the amount of time children spent watching television, the amount of time they spent playing video/computer games, the amount of time they spent participating in physical activities, and the BMI of these children. However, the mean number of hours of TV watching, video/computer game playing, exercise per week differed significantly between males and females. From the results of the ANOVA test for the body mass index (BMI), there was no evidence of significant differences in the mean BMI between males and females among children. In conclusion, seventh-grade and eighth-grade Korean children who reported watching more television and playing more video/computer games tended to be less active and tended to have higher BMIs than the BMIs of children who spent less time watching television and playing video/computer games. Therefore, parents, educators, and health-care professionals need to encourage children to participate in sports or exercise programs. Also, a wide range of physical activities or exercise programs should be offered by schools and the community.
