Özet
Hareketsiz yaşam tarzı günümüz toplumları için en önemli problemlerden biridir. Bireyin yaşamında erken dönemde kazandığı sağlıkla ilişkili davranışlar, bireyin erişkin yıllardaki yaşam kalitesini etkilemektedir. Bu araştırma Karabük Üniversitesinde öğrenim gören öğrencilerin fiziksel aktivite (FA) düzeylerini cinsiyet, öğrenim görülen program ve beden kütle indeksi (BKİ) değişkenlerine göre incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya farklı bölümlerde öğrenim gören 843 erkek, 874 kadın toplam 1717 öğrenci katılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama amacıyla Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi (UFAA) kısa formu kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde frekans, yüzde, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis ve ki kare testleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda öğrencilerin %27,8'inin fiziksel olarak aktif olmadığı, %38,2'sinin orta düzeyde fiziksel aktivite düzeyine sahip olduğu ve %34'ünün yeterli FA düzeyine sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Erkek öğrencilerin %45,9'u yeterli FA düzeyine sahipken, bu oran kız öğrenciler için %22,4'tür. Öğrencilerin FA puanlarında cinsiyete göre anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin BKİ'lerine göre şiddetli FA puanlarında anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak öğrencilerin fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinin düşük olduğu, fiziksel aktivite düzeyinin cinsiyete göre değiştiği, erkek öğrencilerin kadınlara göre daha aktif oldukları gözlenmiştir. VKİ’nin Şiddetli Fiziksel Aktivite düzeyi üzerinde etkili olduğu söylenebilir.
The sedentary lifestyle is one of the most important problems for today's societies. Health-related behaviors that an individual gain early in his life affect the individual's quality of life in adulthood. The purpose of this study was to examine the physical activity (PA) levels of students studying at Karabük University according to the variables of gender, the program attended and body mass index (BMI). A total of 1717 students, 843 males and 874 females, studying in different departments, participated in the study. International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short form was used to collect data in the study. Frequency, percentage, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis and chi-square tests were used to analyze the data. As a result of the research, it was seen that 27.8% of the students were not physically active, 38.2% of them had moderate physical activity levels, and 34% had sufficient PA levels. While 45.9% of male students had sufficient PA level, this rate was 22.4% for female students. A significant difference was found in PA scores of the students in terms of gender. A significant difference was found in the scores of vigorous PA according to the BMI of the students. As a result, it was observed that the physical activity level of the students was low, the physical activity level changed according to gender, and male students were more active than females. It can be said that BMI is effective on the level of Vigorous Physical Activity.
