Previous studies have indicated that physical activity levels among minorities of all age groups are lower than their white counterparts. A minority group with one of the lowest levels of physical activity is Hispanics. In the United States, Hispanics have a high incidence of health problems related to lack of physical activity such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Childhood obesity and diabetes (Type 1 and 2) are becoming major health concerns, with high incidence among minority groups, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2005). The purpose of this study was to compare physical activity levels among Hispanic and Non-Hispanic elementary school children during weekdays and weekend. The sample consisted of 39 students, ages 7-11, from two elementary schools in the Pacific Northwest. The gender distribution was 17 females and 22 males. The ethnic distribution was 22 non-Hispanic and 17 Hispanics. The Hispanic group of students where recruited from bilingual classrooms with the main criteria being that Spanish was the primary language spoken by the parents in the home environment. The data was collected with accelerometers, sampling every 15 seconds, over a continuous seven day period. The comparison of the overall levels of physical activity by a 2 x 2 (Ethnicity x Physical Activity) MANCOVA indicated no significant impact of ethnicity on the physical activity levels, F (1, 36) = 1.29 with a significance of 0.264, p<0.05. The gender was not significant to the level of physical activity in the sample, F (1, 36) = 1.39 with a significance of 0.245, p<0.05. The results suggest that among our sample there were not significant difference between these two ethnic groups in their physical activity levels during the weekdays and weekends, F (1, 36)= 1.29, with a significance of 0.264 (p< 0.05). In conclusion, this study suggests that differences in physical activity levels between Hispanic and non-Hispanic individuals may not be evident in childhood. The results of this study suggest that more research is needed to explain the similar levels of physical activity at this age across ethnic groups, and why this trend change as the population age.
