Üniversitedeki Akademik ve İdari Personelin Fiziksel Aktivite Düzeylerinin Vücut Kompozisyonu ve Stres Düzeyleri ile İlişkisinin İncelenmesi

This study aims to examine the relationship between the physical activity levels, stress levels and body composition of administrative and academic staff working in different fields within the university. The universe of the study consists of academic and administrative staff working in various units of the university. The sample group in the study was determined using the simple random sampling method and consists of a total of 99 participants, 60 of whom are academicians and 39 are administrative staff working at the university. Demographic information obtained from the participants was recorded in the “Demographic Information Form”. The physical activity levels of the participants were assessed with the short form of the “International Physical Activity Questionnaire” and their stress levels were assessed with the “Perceived Stress Scale”. IBM SPSS 22 package program was used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the analyses, significant relationships were observed between stress levels and body composition in both groups, but the relationships between child status and physical activity levels and other variables were weaker. The findings obtained show that stress levels are particularly effective on body composition, but factors such as physical activity and child status are less decisive in these relationships.
