- Abstract
It has become a global agreement if physical education (PE) in schools aims to promote physical activity (PA). The PE teacher as a promoter, should have active lifestyle to be an example of what is promoted. However, the PE teacher’s body shape is still not ideal, the question is, what is their PA? This article aims to identify the healthy lifestyle of PE teachers based on PA and body mass index (BMI). This study uses a cross-sectional study design. 46 PE teachers became research subjects. PA was measured using an international physical activity questionaire (IPAQ-short form) while BMI was determined by weight and height. Data analysis uses descriptive statistics, correlations, and t-tests. The results show that PE teachers are active (M= 5,196 MET-Minutes/Week). Based on BMI, 43% of teachers have an overweight and 57% are ideal. There was no relationship between BMI and PA [X2(1)= 1.035, p= 0.309, r= 0.15]. In addition, teacher status (as ex-athlete and non-athlete) did not affect PA [t(44)= -1.653, p= 0.106] and BMI [t(44)= -0.495, p= 0.623]. It was concluded that PA is not a variable that affects BMI, both are not influenced by PE teacher status in the past as athletes.
