Effect on the Performance of the School Children Eating the Junk Food

Abstract

For top physical performance, the body requires sufficient food, so high-quality nutrients are important during training sessions, but poor nutrition has a negative effect on physical performance during training and routine. Changing adolescent lifestyles not only affects their nutritional status, but also their physical performance. The tendency towards junk food among teenagers has become a major health issue. Among kids and teens, junk food has become popular. It has little to no dietary value. Due to its attractive appearance, taste, comfort, low cost and easy to eat, junk food has become popular among children and adolescents.The argument is backed by many research carried out on the physical fitness of adolescents. The present study was designed to evaluate the physical performance of adolescent boys and girls who are used to junk food, taking this view into account. The research was carried out on 300 school-going children in the city of Drug between the ages of 13-17. The result shows that boys who were average and less common with junk food had significantly lower jumping scores (M=109.66), (M=116.06) compared to uncommon teenage boys (M=133.40). The result shows that boys who were less common with junk food had significantly lower jumping scores (M=109.66), (M=116.06). We found no difference in the performance of girls, even though the performance of boys was better than girls.
