Abstract
This research investigated the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI), physical activity, and self-esteem in junior high school students in Davao City, Region XI, Philippines. A quantitative descriptive correlational design was employed to determine the BMI classifications and physical activity levels in various settings, and dimensions of self-esteem of junior high school. Findings showed that most students have a normal BMI. Physical activity was reported to be moderate. The level of self-esteem was high. While no significant relationship manifested between BMI and self-esteem, a positive correlation was uncovered between physical activity and self-esteem. BMI did not influence self-esteem, however, physical activity influenced self-esteem.
