An analysis of physical fitness characteristics of 12-14 years old adolescents with regard to their familie?s sociodemographic features (example of Ankara province)

The aim of the research was to investigate the differencesin the physical and physiological chovacteristics of 12-14 years old adolescent with regard to the socio-economic level of families. In the modifications created for this purpose, it is noticed the independent variables that may affect adolescent development. These are identified as the family income level, the Family Educational Level and Number of children in the family. As dependent variables it is considered eleven parameters consisting of Weight, height, body mass index, the sum of skin folds, flexibility, vertical jumping, hand grip, balance, 30 seconds shuttle test and bent arm test.Research was done in nine primary schools in Ankara and the city's socio-economic structure were taken into consideration in determining these schools. Three primary school were selected randomly from the choosen regions, Çankaya, Yenimahalle and Mamak in the context of the top, middle and lower socio-economic status of the city. Three primary school were selected randomly from the choosen regions, Çankaya, Yenimahalle and Mamak in the context of the top, middle and lower socio-economic status of the city. These schools are consist of Kavaklıdere Primary School, Teyfik İleri Primary School from Çankaya, Kentkoop Primary School, Orhan Eren Primary School and Fatih Primary School from Yenimahalle, Şehit Murat Eroğlu Primary School and Atlıoğlu Primary School from Mamak.Three schools from Each socio-economic level were selected by cluster sampling method. 800 randomly selected volunteers from each of the nine schools were determined as the sample of the research. At the end of the application, 2440 subjects from nine schools, that are included in the sample, were reached and the measured.For statistical evaluation one-way analysis of variance was applied in order to determine whether there are changes in a meaningful way according to the features of the weight, height, body mass index, the sum of skin folds, flexibility, vertical bounce, hand grip, balance, 30 seconds shuttle test and bent arm test in order to diagnose the presence of interaction between the education, income level and number of children of the families in the groups. Because of the significant tendency to bounce of F value due to large number of sample, the effect sizes for the meaningful levels that mentioned before is calculated with eta kare.In order to determine in which level of the independent variable is the difference and due to the homogeneous variance ,scheffe test, one of the post-hoc tests,was applied. Finally, determination was made to identify which one is the factor of the variables whether the income levels of the families or education level of them. The Statistical significance was determined as P <0.05.Effect of the socio-demographic level of families on the physical and physiological parameters of the primary school studens at the age of 12-14 dont independed from ather functions of families. In this search is mentioned education level of families and their free time activities.
