Abstract:
Self-administered Physical Activity Checklist and portable rod-and-frame test were administered to 47 black and 66 white adolescents in a middle school. One-way multivariate analysis of variance indicated that, relative to the group of white adolescents, the black adolescent group scored significantly more field-dependent and reported significantly fewer minutes of physical activity participation, although no significant difference was noticed on three other physical activity variables. This group of black adolescents' relatively field-dependent scores were weakly associated with fewer mean total minutes of physical activity.
