The article from Borkovits M. is about the examination of
physical education performance with relation to the social
background and nutrition. In this article researchers want to find
out the relation of social background and nutrition to physical
education performance. The populations of survey are primary school
students. Researcher find out that development of a child depends
on its environment. A family is a very complex formation, which is
influenced not only by economic possibilities and habits but many
other factors as well.In this article also discuss about the
hypothesis that the make to answers their research. The hypothesis
is including the mental performance of children correlates with the
quality of their nutrition and if the problems of nutrition are
successfully resolved (for example by the nutrition of the children
is the school dining-halls as a kind of social care) presumably
sooner or later the performance of the children increases. The
researchers also make a questions to answers the problem, for
example one of the question is about whether the school performance
increase is showed up if the quality and quantity of nutrition is
managed to equalize?The result from the research shows that
socially disadvantageous children show unfavorable image
considering their nutrition. They rather eat cheap food with higher
energy content than healthy food of plant origin or dairy products.
This is the same with the culture and frequency of meals. Most of
the students never have a breakfast before they go to the school.
In this article researcher make their own summary about the
research that they made. On his summary his stated that factors
that affect health is bad habits can evolve, such as
nibbling-snacking. Snacks can substitute the main meals and
generate consumption of unhealthy, fatty food on a regular basis. A
significant number of children do not have breakfast in the morning
and teenage girls skip dinner as well, for the reason a couple of
fact about the inactive adolescents is tell about watching TV and
using the computer is very useful but it has many side effects that
are harmful for health. Studying also one of the researcher find
out that the component of the non physical area and the time spent
on them involves an overwhelming physical passiveness. For social
factors is about there is a relation between the unfavorable social
status of the individual and the healthy living and lastly is
family, friends and school as an educator environment.Researcher
found that people dont pay enough attention to the family dining.
More and more families let the child go to school without having
breakfast at home. The family sport activities after school are
totally missing, no matter to the financial situation of the
family. In these research the respondents is 232 of students. It is
(127 (55,5%) female students and 102 (44,5%) male students.The
results show that most of students came from the poorer family
environment, show better results in aerobe performance, although
their results in power and coordination exercises are worse. It can
be explained by the fact that in this stage of life, the genetic
abilities influence the performance. The results also show that
children prefer the traditional Hungarian cuisine and they consume
unhealthy drinks. The eating habits are formed by paternal pattern.
2,38% of the families has the chance only for breakfast and dinner.
Their reason is about the financial because they came from the poor
families.
For the conclusion it shows that the education of the parents is
in relation to the childrens performance in school and to their
social status. Children coming from good conditions can go to
private after school activities, while the others cant afford to
pay extra for sport activities.
It can be conclude that parental involvement is important and
influence students performance for example checking homework,
attending school meetings and events, discussing school activities
at home prepare a good meal, being a good role model has a more
powerful influence on students academic performance than anything
about the school the students attend and their performance in
school not on academic also in extracurricular activities.
