1) Is there is a relationship between childhood obesity levels in primary school children and whether the child participates in after school sports activities?
Research Design
A quantitative research helps to provide a detail description regarding phenomena by numerical data collection using mathematically based analytical methods (Muijs, 2011). The main aim of a quantitative research is to establish a relationship between an independent and dependant or outcome variable in a population. In this study the researcher tries to illustrate the relationship between the levels of obesity in primary school children with children who participates after school sports activities. From this it is clear that this is a quantitative design study.
A non-experimental research method is used to conduct this study. In this study the researcher measures two variables and assesses the correlation between the variables without making any effort to control the extraneous variables (Gravator &Forzano, 2012). The researcher uses large number of samples to get an accurate result. Moreover the researcher cannot manipulate the independent variable or to randomly assign the participants
A research design is a work plan which includes the method of data collection, instruments employed for the study and to analyze the data to answer the question unambiguously as possible. In this study a correlational research design is appropriate as it assess the relationship between two or more variables without making a control on extraneous variables and finally correlating these variables. Here the researcher correlates childhood obesity with participation in after school sport activities.
Data Collection and Sampling
Before collecting the data, sampling should be done. This includes when, where and under what conditions the observations to be made and who will be observed (Lamar, 2002).Here the samples are primary school children. The data can be collected by measuring the
