The students were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 walked more than 500 km. Group 2 walked less than 500 km but more than 200 km and Group 3 walked less than 200 km for 6 months. The result of exercising for 6 months affected the physique, BMI and physical fitness of the students analyzed as follows: In physique, height, weight and BMI had significantly positive increased in the 5th and 6th grade boys and girls in all groups as comparing before and after exercising.

건강 걷기 운동이 초등학교 5, 6학년 학생의 체격 BMI 및 체력에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해서 B광역시 S초등학교 5학년 남학생 57명, 여학생 39명, 6학년 남학생 59명, 여학생 45명, 총 200명을 대상으로 하였다. 걷기 집단은 걷기 누가기록표상 거리를 기준으로 1집단(500 km 이상 보행), 2집단(200 km 이상 ~ 500 km 미만 보행), 3집단(200 km 미만 보행)으로 나누었으며, 6개월간 운동을 실시한 후 결과를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 체격항목인 신장, 체중, BMI에서 5, 6학년 남, 여학생 모든 1, 2, 3집단에서 운동 전 후에 긍정적 변화를 나타냈으며, 체력항목인 50 m 달리기, 윗몸일으키기, 제자리멀리뛰기, 앉아윗몸앞으로 굽히기, 1000 m 오래달리기 및 걷기에서는 1 > 2 > 3 집단 형태로 긍정적 변화가 나타났다. 운동 후 집단별 비교에서는 체격보다는 체력항목에서 1집단이 3집단보다 긍정적 변화를 나타내었다.
