Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between physical activity level, sedentary behavior and health-related quality of life among university students.
Methods: The cross-sectional study includes 200 university students (70.5%, women; 29.5%, male). In the study, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (UFAA) -short form was used to measure the physical activity levels of the individuals, and the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) was used to evaluate their health-related quality of life.
Results: The total physical activity average of the individuals was determined as 2772.82 ± 2791.92 MET-min / week. There was a positive significant relationship between physical activity total value and total quality of life value (r = 0.176, p = 0.013). While there was a significant positive correlation (r= 0.147, P=0.038) between sitting value and emotional reaction that is one of the sub-parameters of quality of life; a significant negative correlation (r= -0.145, p= 0.040) was found between pain and sitting value.
Conclusions: In this study, the relationship between health-related quality of life and physical activity, pain, and sedentary behavior factors came to the fore.

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencileri arasında fiziksel aktivite düzeyi, sedanter davranış ve sağlıkla ilgili yaşam kalitesi arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılmasıdır.
Yöntem: Kesitsel tipte yapılan bu çalışmaya 200 üniversite öğrencisi katılmıştır. Katılımcıların %70,5’ i kadın; %29,5’ i ise erkek bireylerden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmada bireylerin fiziksel aktivite düzeylerini ölçmek için Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi (UFAA)-kısa form, Sağlıkla ilgili yaşam kalitelerini değerlendirmek için ise Nottingham Sağlık Profili (NSP) kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Bireylerin toplam fiziksel aktivite ortalaması 2772,82±2791,92 MET-dk/Hafta olarak belirlendi. Fiziksel aktivite toplam değeri ile yaşam kalitesi toplam değeri (r= 0,176, p= 0,013) arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişki bulundu. Oturma değeri ile yaşam kalitesi alt parametrelerinden emosyonel reaksiyon arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişki (r= 0,147, P=0,038) bulunurken; ağrı ile oturma değeri arasında negatif yönde anlamlı ilişki (r= -0,145, p= 0,040) bulundu.
Sonuç: Bu çalışmada sağlıkla ilgili yaşam kalitesi ile fiziksel aktivite, sedanter davranış ve ağrı faktörleri arasındaki ilişki vurgulanmıştır.
