RELATIONSHİP BETWEEN BODY COMPOSITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND HAND GRIP STRENGTH IN YOUNG ADULTS
Abstract
The aim of the research is to determine the body composition, physical activity and hand grip strength of young adults and to reveal their relationship with each other. For this purpose, 723 (385 males, 338 females) students aged 19-25, continuing their education at Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, participated in the research. Height and weight of individuals were measured, body composition and hand grip strength were determined. Physical activity levels were also determined with the help of the international physical activity scale. The relationship between body composition, physical activity and hand grip strength was evaluated. In the study, both anthropometric measurements and body composition values had significant differences between sexes (p<0.001). 13.9% of individuals are inactive, 51.8% are minimally active, and 34.3% are very active. Body composition components and hand grip strenght values do not differ significantly between physical activity levels by sexes. A very low positive correlation was determined between muscle mass, lean body mass and total body water with left and right grip strength in both sexes. On the other hand, there is a very high positive correlation between right with left grip strength and between muscle mass with lean body mass. More research is needed to evaluate body composition, hand grip strength and physical activity together.
