Thesis (Ph.D.)--Arizona State University, 2004.

The purpose of this study was to: (1) determine the steps/day accumulated by middle school students (grades 7--8) and, (2) determine if participants differing in aerobic fitness also differed in accumulated steps/day. Participants included 223 students from the seventh grade (n = 111; 57 males and 54 females) and eighth grades (n = 112; 54 males and 58 females). Participants accumulated four days of sealed pedometer data and performed the FITNESSGRAM Pacer test. Males accumulated significantly more steps/day than females (11,589 +/- 3270 vs. 10,232 +/- 2517 steps/day, respectively; F1,219 = 16.0, p < .001). There were no differences in steps/day between grades. High fit participants accumulated significantly more steps/day (F2,217 = 264.9, p < .001) than moderately fit and low fit participants (≈1,491 and ≈2,867 steps/day, respectively). The Pearson correlation between steps/day and aerobic fitness was 0.35 (p < .01). Participants who participated in sports in addition to physical education (PE) accumulated significantly more steps/day (≈980 steps/day) than those participating in PE only (F1,219 = 10.0, p < .002). Combined with previous research on elementary and high school students, the steps/day data gathered from middle school students completes a preliminary activity curve illustrating the consistent pattern of differences between males and females and a decrease in physical activity as youth grow older. The low relationship between physical activity and aerobic fitness was reconfirmed. Participants in the high fitness category were more active than those in the lower categories, and sports participation accounted for a significant amount of daily step counts.
