Abstract

This study investigated the effects of 0-period physical education participation on middle school students' physical activity levels, academic achievement, learning attitudes, and emotional stability. A total of 204 second-year middle school students from three schools in the metropolitan area were selected through random sampling, with equal distribution of participants (n=102) and non-participants (n=102) in 0-period physical education. Physical activity was measured using ActiGraph GT3X+ accelerometers worn for one week, academic achievement was assessed through official school grades, and learning attitudes and emotional stability were evaluated using validated questionnaires. Independent samples t-tests revealed that 0-period physical education participants showed significantly higher moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) levels compared to non-participants. Academic achievement was also significantly higher among participants than non-participants. Similarly, participants demonstrated more positive learning attitudes and emotional stability. Pearson correlation analysis indicated significant positive relationships among all variables. Multiple linear regression analyses confirmed that MVPA significantly predicted academic achievement, learning attitudes, and emotional stability. The findings suggest that 0-period physical education effectively increases students' daily physical activity levels and positively influences academic achievement, learning attitudes, and emotional stability. This supports the importance of incorporating morning physical activity programs in school curricula to promote holistic student development, highlighting the interconnectedness of physical, cognitive, and emotional domains in adolescent development.
