| description | The aim of this study is to determine the
relationship between physical activity levels and body composition of
university students. A total of 155 students (56 women, 99 men) attending
Selcuk University Faculty of Sports Sciences voluntarily participated in the
research. Body composition was determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis
while the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)- short form was
used to determine students' physical activity levels. According to the research
findings, there was no correlation between body composition variables and
physical activity level variables in men (p gt; 0,05), but there was only a
weak but significant negative correlation between total physical activity score
and height in women (p lt;0,05, r = -0.28). There was a significant
relationship between the total score of high intensity physical activity and
body weight (r = 0.21), body fat percentage (r = -0.21), lean body mass (r =
0.24), basal metabolic rate (r = 0.23), body mass index (r = 0.17) and waist /
hip ratio (r = 0.24). Besides it was also determined that there was a
significant relationship between total physical activity score and waist / hip
ratio (r = 0.18). As a result, it can be said that there is no significant
relationship between body composition variables and physical activity level
variables of men and women participating in the research. |
