Obesity is a condition which is marked by the accumulation of excess fat tissue in humans that occurs due to
overeating and lack of physical fitness routines. The impact of obesity on child development is extensive hence it is
crucial to identify factors that may contribute to the incidence of obesity in children. Two factors that are considered
as the main causes of obesity in children include genetic and environmental factors. This study aimed to analyse the
effect of the 2012thphysical fitness gymnastic (SKJ)intervention on BMI (Body Mass Index), percent body fat and
physical fitness level in obese elementary students. This was a randomized control trial with pretest-posttest control
group design. The data collected from 98 obese 5th and 6thelementary students in Palu were divided into two groups.
The intervention is The 2012thSKJ conducted 3 times a week with a duration of 30 minutes for 2 months. Data
collected before and after intervention. Instruments were questionnaire. Data were analyzed by independent t-test
and paired t-test. There were changes of the BMI in the intervention group -1.31 ± 1.69 and the control -0.24 ± 1.08
(p = 0,000).There were decrease of body fat percentage in the intervention group was -2.66 ± 3.62 and the control
was 1.92 ± 3.14 (p = 0,000). Physical fitness scores in the intervention group was 1.84 ± 1.05 and the control was
1.69 ± 1.21 (p = 0.545), means there was no significant changes of physical fitness on obese elementary students. This
study focuses attention on exercise to improve students well-being. Research findings of this study shown that
physical fitness exercises can decrease on BMI and body fat percentage. School and parents have responsibility to
create an exercises program to prevent obesity on elementary students.
