Abstract

The aim of this
study was to evaluate daily physical activity levels in adolescents, aged 11,
12 and 13 with metabolic holter. Totally 99 healthy and volunteer male
students, aged 11-13 years, participated in this study. The participants were
divided into three groups according to their chronological age: 11 age group
(n: 35), 12 age group (n: 34) and 13 age group (n: 30). The physical activity
levels of the children's were measured by SenseWear Armband (SWA) for 3 consecutive
days (72 hours), in the absence of physical education class days. Height,
weight, body mass index, daily total energy consumption, physical activity
level, daily average number of steps (STEP), daily average length of stay and
daily average sleep time were measured. The data obtained in the study were
determined by one way ANOVA and multiple comparison test. P<0.05 was
considered significant in all tests. There was a significant difference in the
mean values of height (F=20.3; p=0.00), weight (F=12.55; p=0.00), and STEP
(F=7.64; p=0.01) in the study group. The difference in height and weight mean
was significant in favor of 13 age group (11<12<13, respectively) and
STEP was in favor of 11 years (13≤12<11, respectively). The differences
between the remaining variables were not significant (p> 0.05). In this
study, it was concluded that the adolescents who were in different age groups
and did not have physical education classes, the duration of physical activity
was low, but their duration of inactivity was high.
