FİZİKSEL AKTİVİTE DÜZEYİ EGZERSİZ ALGISINA VE VÜCUT FARKINDALIĞINA BAĞLI MIDIR?

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, fiziksel aktivite düzeyinin egzersiz algısı ve beden farkındalığına bağlı olup olmadığının araştırılması amaçlandı. Yöntem: Çalışmaya 18-25 yaş arasında fiziksel aktiviteye engel olacak herhangi bir hastalığı bulunmayan 116 sağlıklı birey dahil edildi. Katılımcılar Beden Farkındalığı Anketi (BAQ), Egzersiz Faydaları / Engeller Ölçeği (EBBS) ve Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi-Kısa Formu (IPAQ-SF) ile yüz yüze değerlendirildi. Sonuçlar: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması ve vücut kitle indeksi 20,38 yıl ve 21,86 kg/m2 idi. IPAQ-SF skorlarında katılımcıların %28.4‘ü düşük aktivite seviyesinde, %40.5‘i orta aktivite seviyesinde ve %31‘i yüksek aktivite seviyesindeydi. BAQ ile IPAQ-SF puanı arasında zayıf korelasyon (r <0,400) ve BAQ ile EBBS fayda puanı arasında negatif korelasyon (r <0,400) vardı. IPAQ-SF puanları ile BAQ puanları arasında da zayıf bir korelasyon (r<0,400) bulundu. Tartışma: Çalışmanın sonucuna göre fiziksel aktivite düzeyinin, beden farkındalığına ve algılanan egzersiz engellerine bağlı olduğu bulunmuştur. Çalışmamızın kanıt düzeyini artırmak için daha fazla katılımcı grubu ve farklı koşullarda yaşayan öğrencilerle yapılacak çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

DOES PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVEL DEPEND ON EXERCISE PERCEPTION AND BODY AWARENESS?

Purpose: In this study, it was aimed to investigate whether physical activity level depends on exercise perception and body awareness. Methods: A total of 116 people between the ages of 18-25 years who did not have any diseasepreventing physical activity participated in the study. Using a face-to-face questionnaire and inquiry methods, participants were evaluated with Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ), Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale (EBBS), and International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF). Results: The mean age and body mass index of the participants were 20.38 years and 21.86 kg / m2. In IPAQ-SF scores, 28.4% of the participants were at the low activity level, 40.5% were at the medium activity level and 31% were at the high activity level. There was a weak correlation (r <0.400) between body awareness and IPAQ-SF score and a negative correlation between BAQ and EBBS benefits score (r <0.400). There was a weak correlation between IPAQ-SF scores and BAQ scores (r <0.400). Conclusions: According to the results from the present study, the level of physical activity was found to be depend on body awareness and perceived exercise barriers. To increase the level of evidence in our study, there is a need for studies with more groups of participants and students living in different conditions.
