Summary

Obesity is increasing rapidly all over the world not only in adults but also among children. As a modifiable component of total energy expenditure (TEE) ,the amount of energy expended during physical activity plays an important role in preventing weight gain. Decreased physical activity, coupled with an over-consumption of calories, lead to the change of body composition by storing energy as fat.Although several studies have simultaneously examined body composition with energy expenditure the independent roles of body composition with activity energy expenditure (AEE) are less firmly established. It's suspected shrewdly that energy expenditure is partly influenced by the body composition. The aim of the study is to examine the relation of AEE with body composition in a population of school-age children.
