Abstract

This
research was carried out to examine waist / aspect ratios and body mass indexes
of the individuals who came to the sports center between 2006-2016. The
universe of the study is the Olimpia Sports Hall, which is connected to Burdur
city center, and the sample is 3001 people who came to Olimpia Sports Center.
Tape and scale were used for body measurements. In order to analyze the data,
frequency and percentages of the group were taken, descriptive statistical data
were determined, and the significance level of age and gender groups were
analyzed by One Way ANOVA test. Significance was examined at 0.05 level. As
a result of the data obtained, a significant difference was obtained when body
mass indexes and waist length ratios of the individuals were compared.
