Abstract
Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti hubungan antara indeks jisim badan (IJB), kecergasan fizikal dan pencapaian akademik dalam kalangan pelajar elektif Sains Sukan sekolah menengah di Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Seramai 44 orang pelajar lelaki dan 47 orang pelajar perempuan dari tiga buah sekolah menengah yang menawarkan elektif subjek Sains Sukan terlibat dalam kajian ini. IJB ditentukan daripada ukuran ketinggian dan berat badan pelajar. Ujian Bleep digunakan untuk mengukur tahap kecergasan fizikal dan item-item ujian yang dibina khusus bagi subjek Sains Sukan digunakan bagi mengukur pencapaian akademik pelajar. Hasil kajian menunjukkan secara deskriptif pelajar memperoleh skor dalam julat sihat dan memperoleh pencapaian pada tahap lulus tetapi pelajar tidak mencapai julat cergas. Namun, hasil ujian menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan antara ketiga-tiga pemboleh ubah.
This study aimed to identify the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI), physical fitness, and academic achievement among secondary school students enrolled in the Sports Science elective subject in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. A total of 44 male and 47 female students from three secondary schools offering the Sports Science elective participated in this study. BMI was determined based on the students’ height and weight measurements. The Bleep Test was used to assess the students’ physical fitness levels, while specially developed test items for the Sports Science subject were used to measure their academic achievement. The findings showed descriptively that the students obtained scores within the healthy range and achieved a passing level of academic performance; however, they did not reach the fit range. Nevertheless, the results of the analysis indicated that there was no significant relationship among the three variables.
