Examination of General Quality of Life, Communication Skills and Satisfaction with Body Parts of Individuals Who Do and Do Not Do Sports

Abstract

In this study, communication skills, body part satisfaction levels and general quality of li-fe of individuals who do and do not do sports were examined. 825 women between the ages of 20-40 participated in the study. 374 of the participants were regular exercisers and 451 were sedentary individuals. The scales used in the study had sufficient reliability le-vels and the data showed normal distribution. As a result of the analysis of the data, it was seen that the average body satisfaction of individuals who do regular exercise was lower than the average body satisfaction of the sedentary group. In addition, it was deter-mined that the quality of life of individuals who do regular exercise was higher than that of sedentary individuals. In terms of nutrition, a significant difference was observed in terms of all parameters. It was seen that there was a positive relationship between com-munication skills and body satisfaction, body satisfaction and quality of life and commu-nication skills and quality of life. As a result, it can be said that doing sports is beneficial in terms of quality of life, sedentary individuals are happier in terms of body satisfaction and that exercise has no positive or negative effects on communication skills.
