Abstract

Amaç: Düzenli fiziksel aktivite ve egzersiz alışkanlığının çok sayıda fizyolojik yararı olduğu bilinmesine rağmen, genç yetişkinlerde fiziksel uygunluğa etkisi net değildir. Bu çalışmanın amacı düzenli fiziksel aktivite ve egzersiz alışkanlığı olan ve olmayan üniversite öğrencilerinin sağlıkla ilişkili fiziksel uygunluk parametrelerinden kardiyorespiratuar endurans ve vücut kompozisyonlarının karşılaştırılmasıdır.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 16’sı erkek toplam 29 üniversite öğrencisi (ortalama yaş; 20.4 ± 1.5 yıl) katıldı. Öğrencilerin demografik özellikleri ve kardiyovasküler risk faktörleri sorgulandı. Fiziksel aktivite ve egzersiz alışkanlıkları kaydedildi. Haftada en az 3 kez orta şiddette fiziksel aktivite yapan öğrenciler düzenli fiziksel aktivite ve egzersiz alışkanlığı olan grup olarak belirlendi. Fiziksel uygunluk değerlendirmesinde, vücut kompozisyonu; beden kütle indeksi, bel kalça oranı ve biyoelektriksel impedans analizi kullanılarak, kardiyorespiratuar endurans ise UKK2 km Yürüme Testi ile değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin 15’inde (%51,7) düzenli fiziksel aktivite ve egzersiz alışkanlığı vardı. Düzenli fiziksel aktivite ve egzersiz alışkanlığı olan ve olmayan öğrencilerin vücut kompozisyonları benzer bulundu (p>.05). Düzenli fiziksel aktivite ve egzersiz alışkanlığı olan grubun yürüme testini bitirme süresi daha kısa ve maksimal oksijen tüketimi daha yüksekti (p<.05).

Sonuç: Düzenli fiziksel aktivite ve egzersiz alışkanlığı olan üniversite öğrencilerinde kardiyorespiratuar endurans değerleri düzenli fiziksel aktivite ve egzersiz alışkanlığı olmayanlara göre daha yüksektir. Üniversite öğrencileri sağlığı geliştirici düzenli fiziksel aktivite ve egzersiz alışkanlığı kazanmaları doğrultusunda bilgilendirilmeli ve bu alışkanlığı arttırmaya yönelik programlara yönlendirilmelidir.

Abstract
Objective: Although it is known that regular physical activity and exercise habits have numerous physiological benefits, its effect on physical fitness in young adults is not clear. The aim of this study is to compare the cardiorespiratory endurance and body composition of university students, which is a health-related physical fitness parameter, with and without regular physical activity and exercise habits.

Material and Method: A total of 29 university students, 16 of them were male (mean aged 20.4 ± 1.5 years) participated in the study. Demographic characteristics and cardiovascular risk factors were questioned. Physical activity and exercise habits were recorded. Students with moderate physical activity at least 3 times per week were identified as having regular physical activity and exercise habits. For physical fitness assessment, body composition was evaluated by body mass index, waist hip ratio, and bioelectrical impedance analysis, and cardiorespiratory endurance was evaluated by UKK 2 km Walk Test.

Findings: Of the 29 students who participated in the study, 15 (51.7%) had regular physical activity and exercise habits. The body composition of groups was similar (p>.05). The group with regular physical activity and exercise habits had shorter duration of running and higher maximal oxygen consumption (p<.05).

Conclusion: Cardiorespiratory endurance of university students with regular physical activity and exercise habits are higher than those without exercise habits. University students should be informed about health promoting regular physical activity and exercise habits and should be directed to habitenhancing programs.
