Abstract
Research was carried out on 204 university students in Daegu and Seoul who majored in food and nutrition (male: 23, female: 84) and physical education (male: 79, female: 18). The average age of males was 21.6 and for females 21.5. The Body Mass Index (BMI) was $21.74{\pm}2.91kg/m^2$ normal. The research examined attitudes on exercise. Dietary life and health awareness. It turned out both groups gave strong consideration to healthy habits and an awareness of exercise. Students majoring in physical education showed a positive self-evaluation of health but also showed higher rates of exposure to smoking as well. Both groups realized the importance of both exercise and nutrition in education. In terms of breakfast, few students frequently had breakfast (31.4% out of total) and of these. 64.5% had it traditionally (boiled rice, soup, and side dishes). There were 3.4% students who never had breakfast. As shown in our research, students who majored in food and nutrition had positive attitudes on exercise, dietary life, and health for the future, rather than the present. Thus, the development of educational and support programs, to make this future real are greatly needed.
