Abstract

This study aims to determine physical activity levels of the teachers from different branches, to evaluate the  relation between age, gender, body mass index (BMI) and physical activity level and to encourage individuals  to do physical activities for healthier people and a healthier community by giving importance to the benefits of  the physical activities.  The populations of this research are the teachers who work in Beypazarı town of Ankara 286 teachers from all  branches are taken to the research. After the ages, heights, weights, and BMI's of the subjects are taken their  physical activity levels are determined by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and classified  as active level, low active level and sufficient active level.  At the end of the research the energy consuming of the subjects is seen as 2142,76±161,43 MET-min/week in  average. It is also seen that 17,1% of the teachers are not physically active, 63,9% of them are low activity level  and 19% of them are in sufficient activity level to protect their health. Among the subjects whose body mass  indexes are below 25kg/rrf the 20,4% of them are not physically active but this proportion decreases to 15,2%  among the subjects whose body mass indexes are above 25 kg/m2. Also, women's physical activity level is  lower than men.  According to these results it was the seen that teachers working in Beypazarı weren't enough physically active.

Özet

Bu çalışmada çeşitli branşlardaki öğretmenlerin fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri belirlenerek yaş, cinsiyet ve beden  kitle indeksleri (BKİ) ile fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır.  Bu amaçla çalışmaya Ankara ilinin Beypazarı ilçesinde görev yapan tüm branşlardaki 286 öğretmen (175 kadın,  111 erkek) gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Deneklerin yaş, boy, kilo ve BKİ'leri alındıktan sonra fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri,  Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketinin uzun formu (UFAA) ile belirlenmiştir.  Çalışmanın sonunda tüm bireylerin haftalık enerji tüketimlerinin ortalama 2142,76±161,43 olduğu tespit edilmiştir.  Öğretmenlerin %17,1 'inin fiziksel olarak aktif olmadığı, %63,9'unun fiziksel aktivite düzeyinin düşük olduğu ve  %19'unun fiziksel aktivite düzeyinin sağlığını korumak için yeterli olduğu görülmüştür. Beden kitle indeksi  25 kg/nf'nin altında olan bireylerin %20,4'ünün fiziksel olarak aktif olmadığı görülürken, beden kitle indeksi  25 kg/rrf ve üstü olan bireylerde bu oran %15,2'ye düşmektedir. 20-29 yaş aralığındaki bireylerin %60,0'ının,  30-39 yaş aralığındaki bireylerin %66,7'sinin, 40 yaş ve üstü bireylerde %63,9'unun düşük fiziksel aktiviteye  sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Kadın bireylerin %17,6'sının fiziksel olarak aktif olmadığı görülürken erkek bireylerde  bu oran %16,4'e düşmektedir.  Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda Beypazarı'nda görev yapan tüm branşlardaki bayan ve erkek öğretmenlerin fiziksek  olarak yeterince aktif olmadıkları ifade edilebilir.
