Abstract

It is aimed to determine the average daily step counts of young adults with the pedometer programs installed on the smart mobile phones and to investigate the relationship between the step counts and various variables. The data of a total of 182 the participants, 52 (28.6%) male and 130 (71.4%) female, were evaluated. Participants were provided to install SHealth, iPhone Health or Pedometer pedometer program on their phones. The data were collected in May 2018 with the data form prepared by the researcher. Since the data did not show a normal distribution, analysis was performed with the Mann-Whitney U test for comparisons between independent groups and the Chi-Square test for cross-table comparisons. As a result of the research; The mean daily step counts were recorded as 7598 (Sd:±3092) for all participants, 9445 (Sd:±2909) for men and 6860 (Sd:±2853) for women. Men's step counts was statistically higher than women's (p<.001). It was determined that 9.6% of male and 41.5% of female had an average daily step count below 6000. 38.5% of males and 13.1% of females had at least 10000 steps recommended by the World Health Organization. The most active period of the day was determined as 12.00-17.59 hours with 61.3% of the students. No relationship was found between the frequency of follow-up the pedometer program and the average daily step count (p>.05). Due to the widespread use of smart mobile phones, objective data about the physical activity levels of groups or individuals can be obtained by using the installed pedometer programs.

Özet

Akıllı mobil telefonlarda yüklü adımsayar programları ile genç yetişkin ortalama günlük adım sayılarının belirlenmesi ve adım sayısının çeşitli değişkenlerle ilişkisinin araştırılması amaçlandı. Katılımcıların 52’si (%28.6) erkek ve 130’u (%71.4) kadın olmak üzere toplam 182 kişinin verisi değerlendirildi. Katılımcıların telefonlarına SHealth, IPhone Sağlık veya Pedometre adımsayar programı yüklemeleri sağlandı. Araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan veri formu ile veriler Mayıs 2018’de toplandı. Veriler normal dağılım göstermediğinden bağımsız gruplar arası karşılaştırmalarda Mann-Whitney U testi ve çapraz tablo karşılaştırmalarında Chi-Square testi ile analiz yapıldı. Araştırma sonucunda; ortalama günlük adım sayıları, tüm katılımcılarda 7598 (Sd:±3092), erkeklerde 9445 (Sd:±2909) ve kadınlarda 6860 (Sd:±2853) olarak kaydedildi. Erkeklerin adım sayısı istatistiksel olarak kadınlardan fazla bulundu (p<.01). Erkeklerin %9,6’sı ve kadınların %41,5’i ortalama günlük adım sayısı 6000’in altında olduğu tespit edildi. Erkeklerin %38,5’i ve kadınların %13,1’ ise Dünya Sağlık Örgütünün önerdiği günlük en az 10000 adım sayısına sahip olduğu görüldü. Öğrencilerin en aktif oldukları gün içi saat periyodu %61,3 ile 12.00-17.59 saat aralığı olarak tespit edildi. Adımsayar programını takip sıklığı ile ortalama günlük adım sayısı arasında herhangi bir ilişki bulunamadı (p>.05). Yaygınlaşan akıllı mobil telefon kullanımı dolayısıyla yüklü adımsayar programları ile bireylerin veya grupların fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri hakkında objektif veriler elde edilebilir.
