RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, NUTRITION HABITS AND BODY COMPOSITION OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to determine the physical activity levels of university students with a pedometer and investigate into the relationship between the physical activity and body composition and energy intake. A total of 1113 female and male university students participated in the present study. Pedometer determining the number of daily step was used to assess physical activity of subjects Yamax PW610 . Body composition was analyzed by bioelectrical impedance method Tanita BC-418MA . Mean±SD number of daily steps of female and male students were found 8020±3117 steps/day and 8652±3258 steps/day, respectively. Between female and male subjects there was inversely correlation between the number of daily steps and BMI r = -.115 and -.129 , right leg fat percentage r = -.110 and -.131 , left leg fat percentage r = -.119 and -.103 p
