The World Health Organization (WHO) identifies the importance of implementing physical activity programs such as physical education (PE) classes in schools. This study identifies the attitudes of obese children toward PE, before and after participation in a vigorous-intensity physical exercise program without the participation of normal-weight peers using a questionnaire on Attitudes toward Physical Education (CAEF). 98 children between 8-11 years of age were randomized in an Experimental Group (GE) ( = 48) and a Control Group (CG) ( = 47). They were assessed using a questionnaire on Attitudes toward Physical Education (CAEF). All the study participants exhibited a BMI Z-score ≥ 2. Before the intervention, the only difference between boys and girls was "empathy to teacher and physical education subject" ( = 0.001, d de Cohen = 0.72, r = 0.34). The interaction between gender and training was only present in empathy for the teacher, with a medium effect size ( = 0.055). The implementation of PE with two hours per week elicits only a few effects over the attitude of obese children, even though with a certain engagement of gender through training in the adjustment of empathy for teachers and the PE class.
世界卫生组织（WHO）认识到在学校实施体育活动项目（如体育课）的重要性。本研究使用体育教育态度问卷（CAEF），在不与正常体重同龄人一起参与剧烈强度体育锻炼的情况下，确定肥胖儿童对体育课的态度，在参与之前和之后。共有 98 名 8-11 岁的儿童被随机分为实验组（GE）（n = 48）和对照组（CG）（n = 47）。他们使用体育教育态度问卷（CAEF）进行评估。所有研究参与者的 BMI Z 评分均≥2。在干预之前，男孩和女孩之间唯一的差异是“对老师和体育教育科目的同理心”（p = 0.001，d 德科恩= 0.72，r = 0.34）。性别和训练之间的相互作用仅存在于对老师的同理心方面，具有中等效应大小（p = 0.055）。每周进行两次体育课仅能对肥胖儿童的态度产生一些影响，尽管通过对教师和体育课的同理心进行调整，性别参与度有所提高。
