Abstract

The
aim of this study is to determine the physical activity levels of taekwondo
trainers. The total of 544 (132 women, 412 men) trainers participated in the
trainer development seminars organized by Turkey Taekwondo Federation
participated as volunteers in this research.The physical activity levels of the
participants were determined with the short form of the  International Physical Activity Questionnaire
(UFAA). SPSS 22.0 statistical package program was used to evaluate the data
obtained within the scope of the research. The data were analyzed by
Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for normality. The Mann- Whitney U test was used
because the data were not distributed normally and the significance level was
accepted as 0.05. According to the research findings, 3.2% of the trainers had
low physical activity level, 61.4% had moderate and 35.5% had high physical
activity level. There were statistically significant differences in mean age,
height and body weight (p <0,05), no significant difference was found
between male and female trainers in sitting, walking, moderate physical
activity, high intensity physical activity and total physical activity scores
(p> 0.05). It can be said that most of the taekwondo coaches have moderate
physical activity levels.
