Spor Bilimleri Fakültesi öğrencilerinin vücut kitle indeksi fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri ve yeme tutumları arasındaki ilişki

This study aims to examine the relationship between BMI, physical activity levels and eating attitudes of students studying at the Faculty of Sports Sciences. 296 university students (n=133 female; n=156 male) participated in the study. Measurements were evaluated with the International Physical Activity Assessment Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ), Eating Attitude Test (YTT) and Demographic Information Form. Frequency and percentage distributions and chi-square analysis were used to analyze the data. Spearman's rho correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between variables. In the findings, while there was no statistically significant difference between the physical activity levels of the students in terms of gender, grade, and BMI levels (p>.05), there was a statistically significant difference between the physical activity levels according to the department they studied in and their age levels (p<.05). 239 of the students showed normal (80.7%) and 57 showed abnormal eating attitudes. While there was no statistically significant difference in eating attitude levels according to gender, age, BMI and grade levels, there was a statistically significant difference in eating attitude levels according to the department studied. Additionally, as a result of the correlation analysis between BMI, physical activity and eating attitude levels, it was seen that there was no statistically significant relationship. As a result, young people need to have correct nutrition information in order to prevent eating disorders caused by wrong nutritional attitudes. For this purpose,in addition to physical activity, the necessity of having a conscious and accurate nutritional knowledge and eating attitude should be explained in various ways.
