    Investigation of physical activity levels by gender and residential areas: a case study on students in Akdeniz University
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2012) Ozdol, Yeliz; Ozer, M. Kamil; Pinar, Salih; Cetin, Emel
    Problem Statement: The promotion of a healthy lifestyle is the main goal of physical education in many countries. However, very little is known about the relationship between different residential areas and physical activity patterns among young people. Purpose of Study: To compare the physical activity levels (PAL) of university student in accordance with gender (male, n=250; female, n=200) and residential areas (in campus; n=196 and out of campus; n=254). Methods: This study included a total of 450 voluntary healthy subjects (21.04 +/- 1.61 years old) from two different residential areas. PAL's of students were evaluated by using the long form International Physical Activity Questionnaires. BMI was computed as kg/m(2). Data from the questionnaires was collected in a suitable relational database and analyzed with statistical software. The independent-samples t test was applied to understand differences in Physical Activity (PA) levels in terms of genders and also their residential areas. Results: Total PAs (MET min./week) of male students were higher than female counterparts (p<.01). On the other hand, PA at home or in garden domains of female students were higher than male counterparts (p<.05). It was observed that male students walk more and performed more moderate activities (MPA) than female counterparts (p<.01). When their residential areas were taken into consideration, students living in their own house had higher total PA (MET min./week) and higher MPA than students living in dormitory (p<.01). Conclusion: This study showed that PAL is higher for male students than female counterparts as indicated in the current literature. On the other hand, living far distant from campus played important role in having higher PAL in this study. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

    Investigation of physical activity levels of male students during school time: does participation in regular sport activities affect on physical activity levels of students?
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2012) Pinar, Salih; Ozdol, Yeliz; Ozer, M. Kamil
    Physical activity (PA) is an important factor to promote and maintain a healthy lifestyle along the whole life cycle. However, it is not clear whether it is due to the PA itself or sports team participation for elementary school students. Purpose of the study; to make comparison between the PA levels of students attending regular sport activities (Sa) and students not attending regular sports activities (Sb) during school days. The study included 30 male public elementary school students (Sa:9.57 +/- 0.78 and Sb:9.15 +/- 0.38 years old) PA data were obtained by using both objective and subjective measurement methods. Two objective methods (accelerometer-RT3; Heart Rate Monitor, Polar 610i,) were simultaneously used during the 3 school days except for physical education (PE) class. PA Questionnaire (r=.93) was applied one week before the objective measurements. Descriptive data were calculated for all variables. BMI was computed as kg/m(2). Independent t test was used for comparing the variables of two groups. There were significant differences between two groups in terms of heart rate and vector magnitude (VM=root x(2)+y(2)+z(2)). However, there was no significant difference by means of BMI between two groups (p<.05). The Sb group showed higher PA level on school days compared with the Sa group when PE class and regular sport activities are disregarded. That means, children may satisfy daily PA needs during these activities. On the other hand, the amount of PA accumulating during school time seemed inadequate to achieve the current recommendations for health-promotion in all children. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

    The longitudinal study of obesity prevalence in different socio-economic status for school children: a case study of obesity prevalence for school children in antalya region
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2012) Ozer, M. Kamil; Ozdol, Yeliz; Pinar, Salih
    Purpose of Study: to investigate the obesity prevalence among school children in accordance with their gender and socio-economic levels during one year period. Four schools were chosen in accordance with their social-economic levels determined by the Ministry of National Education Directorate in Antalya for this study. Descriptive data were calculated for all variables. BMI was computed as kg/m(2). Skinfold thickness (triceps, biceps, subscapula and suprailliac) variables were measured to calculate fat (%) during one year for 7-8 years old school children. Each measurement was taken at the beginning of fall semester. Repeated measurements ANOVA and independent t test were used for statistical analyses. Girls had higher fat percentages than boys (p<.01). Students with high socio-economic status had higher BMI, fat (%), and body weight than students with low socio-economic status (p<.01). Except fat (%), all variables significantly increased during one year period. Recent studies showed higher child obesity prevalence in developing countries compared to the developed countries. However, the same situation was not observed for Turkey. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd. Selection and/or peer review under responsibility of Prof. Dr. Huseyin Uzunboylu
