Assessment of internet addiction scale based on physical activitylevels showed that lack of control (p=0.001), desire to remain online more (p=0.001) and total internet addiction scores(p=0.008) were higher in inactive students compared to the other groups.Conclusion: In this study, it was found that young people who do not do physical activity or do it at a minimum levelshow uncontrolled and emotional eating behavior.

Objective & Hypothesis:Aim: This study aims to identify eating behaviors and internet addiction levels of university students based on theirphysical activity levels.Material and Methods: 775 university student subjects, aged 17 to 25 were enrolled to the study anthropometricmeasurements were recorded for all students.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Physical activity levelwas calculated based on The "MET-minute/week" score was obtained by multiplying the values of minutes, days andMET.Results: Evaluating the TFEQ results based on the physical activity levels, our study demonstrated that the uncontrolled(p=0.047) and emotional eating (p=0.032) scores of the inactive group were higher compared to the active group.Cognitive restraint of eating scores of the very active students, on the other hand, were higher compared to the inactive(p=0.001) and minimally active (p=0.007) students.

Abstract

Aim: This study aims to identify eating behaviors and internet addiction levels of university students based on theirphysical activity levels.Material and Methods: 775 university student subjects, aged 17 to 25 were enrolled to the study anthropometricmeasurements were recorded for all students. In the study Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ), The InternationalPhysical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and Internet Addiction Scale were used. The eating habits and internetaddiction levels of the students were statistically evaluated based on the physical activity levels. Physical activity levelwas calculated based on The "MET-minute/week" score was obtained by multiplying the values of minutes, days andMET.Results: Evaluating the TFEQ results based on the physical activity levels, our study demonstrated that the uncontrolled(p=0.047) and emotional eating (p=0.032) scores of the inactive group were higher compared to the active group.Cognitive restraint of eating scores of the very active students, on the other hand, were higher compared to the inactive(p=0.001) and minimally active (p=0.007) students. Assessment of internet addiction scale based on physical activitylevels showed that lack of control (p=0.001), desire to remain online more (p=0.001) and total internet addiction scores(p=0.008) were higher in inactive students compared to the other groups.Conclusion: In this study, it was found that young people who do not do physical activity or do it at a minimum levelshow uncontrolled and emotional eating behavior. It was demonstrated that the desire to stay online and loss of controlwere higher in the same group.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, üniversite öğrencilerinin yeme davranışlarını ve internet bağımlılığı düzeylerini fiziksel aktivite düzeylerine göre belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 17-25 yaşları arasında toplam 775 üniversite öğrencisi katılmıştır. Tüm öğrencilerin antropometrik ölçümleri kaydedilmiştir. Araştırmada, Üç Faktörlü Beslenme Anketi (TFEQ), Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi (IPAQ) ve İnternet Bağımlılığı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin yeme alışkanlıkları ve internet bağımlılığı düzeyleri fiziksel aktivite düzeylerine göre istatistiksel olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Fiziksel aktivite düzeyi dakika, gün ve MET değerleri çarpılarak “MET-dakika / hafta” skoru elde edilmiştir. Bulgular: Üniversite öğrencilerinin TFEQ sonuçlarını fiziksel aktivite düzeylerine göre değerlendiren çalışmamızda, inaktif (sedanter) grubun kontrolsüz (p=0,047) ve duygusal yemek yeme (p=0,032) skorlarının aktif gruba göre daha yüksek olduğu gösterilmiştir. Ayrıca, çok aktif öğrencilerin yemeyi bilinçli olarak kısıtlama skorları, inaktif (p=0,001) ve minimal olarak aktif (p=0,007) olan öğrencilere göre daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. İnternet bağımlılığı ölçeğinin fiziksel aktivite düzeylerine göre değerlendirilmesi sonucunda, fiziksel olarak inaktif öğrencilerin kontrol eksikliğinin (p=0,001) ve çevrimiçi kalma arzusunun (p=0,001) daha fazla olduğu, toplam internet bağımlılığı puanlarının (p=0,008) da diğer gruplara göre daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada fiziksel aktivite yapmayan veya minimum düzeyde yapan gençlerin kontrolsüz ve duygusal yeme davranışı sergiledikleri bulunmuştur. Aynı grupta, internette çevrimiçi kalma isteği ve kontrol kaybının daha fazla olduğu gösterilmiştir
