To examine the effect of 8-week aerobic exercise applied together with the Mediterranean diet on body composition, body liking and sexual quality of life. The research consists of 64 (age = 40.13  3.38) sedentary women residing in Sakarya. Participants were randomly divided into four groups (Mediterranean diet + exercise group (n:16), exercise only (n:16), Mediterranean diet only (n:16) and control group (n:16)). An 8-week exercise and diet program was applied to sedentary women, and body composition (BMI, lean mass, fat mass), body liking and sexual life quality values were measured before and after diet and exercise programs. Repeated measures of variance analysis (ANOVA) were used in the SPSS 25.0 package program on the obtained data. The confidence interval was chosen as 95% and values below p<0.05 were considered statistically significant. In addition time-dependent percentage changes between groups were calculated using the formula “%Δ= (post Test- pre Test) /pre Test*100”. When the body composition values of aerobic exercise applied together with the Mediterranean diet in sedentary women were examined, it was determined that the pre-test and post-test averages of BMI, lean mass and fat kg values differed according to time. It was determined that the values of body liking and sexual life quality differed in Mediterranean diet + exercise, exercise group and Mediterranean diet group compared to the control group. It was observed that aerobic exercise applied together with the Mediterranean diet in sedentary women improved body composition, body liking and sexual life quality.

Akdeniz Diyeti ile Birlikte Uygulanan Aerobik Egzersizin Vücut Kompozisyonu Bedeni Beğenme ve Cinsel Yaşam Kalitesi Üzerine Etkisi

Öz

Çalışmada Akdeniz diyeti ile birlikte uygulanan 8 haftalık aerobik egzersizin vücut kompozisyonu, bedeni beğenme ve cinsel yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkisini incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma Sakarya ilinde ikamet eden 64 (yaş = 40.13  3.38) sedanter kadından oluşmaktadır. Katılımcılar randomize olarak dört gruba (Akdeniz diyeti + egzersiz grubu (n:16), sadece egzersiz grubu (n:16), sadece Akdeniz diyeti grubu (n:16) ve kontrol grubu (n:16)) ayrılmıştır. Sedanter kadınlara 8 haftalık egzersiz ve diyet programı uygulanmış, diyet ve egzersiz programları öncesi ve sonrasında vücut kompozisyonu (BKİ, yağsız kütle, yağ kütle), bedeni beğenme ve cinsel yaşam kalite değerleri ölçümleri alınmıştır. Elden edilen verilere SPSS 25.0 paket programında tekrar eden ölçümlerde varyans analizi (Repeated measures -ANOVA) kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca zamana bağlı gruplar arasındaki değişimler “%Δ= (Son Test-Ön Test) /Ön Test*100” formülü kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. Güven %95 aralığı olarak seçilmiş ve p<0,05’in altındaki istatiksel değerler anlamlı olarak kabul edilmiştir. Sedanter kadınlarda Akdeniz diyeti ile birlikte uygulanan aerobik egzersizin vücut kompozisyon değerleri incelendiğinde BKI, yağsız kütle ve yağ kütle değerlerinin ön test ve son test ortalamaları zamana göre anlamlı bir farklılık gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Bedeni beğenme ile cinsel yaşam kalitesi değerlerinin Akdeniz diyeti+ egzersiz, egzersiz grubu ve Akdeniz diyeti grubunun kontrol grubuna göre farklılık gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcıların ön test ve son test ortalamalarının zamana göre anlamlı bir farklılık gösterdiği bulunmuştur. Sedanter kadınlarda Akdeniz diyeti ile birlikte uygulanan aerobik egzersizin vücut kompozisyonu, bedeni beğenme ve cinsel yaşam kalitesi üzerine iyileşme olduğu görülmüştür.
