Exploring the Relationship between Physical Activity and Segmental Body Composition Parameters in Office Workers: A Multi-Frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Approach

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the relationship between physical activity levels and body composition parameters in office workers. The study was carried out with 60 individuals who agreed to participate in the study and met the inclusion criteria, among the office workers who had sedentary jobs, at the Rector's Office of a university in the Eastern Region of the Republic of Turkey between June 2021 and January 2022. Informed Voluntary Consent Forms and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire were administered to participants. Body compositions were measured with the TANITA MC-780 Bioelectrical impedance device. The study found a positive relationship between lean body mass (kg), muscle mass in the right leg (kg), muscle mass in the left leg (kg), muscle mass in the right arm (kg), muscle mass in the left arm (kg), and trunk muscle (kg) with all Phase Angle (PhA) measures (p<0.05). Moreover, the study determined a correlation between lean mass in the right leg (kg), lean mass in the left leg (kg), lean mass in the right arm (kg), and lean mass in the left arm (kg) with vigorous activity scores (p<0.05). The study's results add to the existing literature on segmental body composition values in individuals with prolonged sedentary behavior.
