Background and Study Aim. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between leisure satisfaction, physical activity levels and healthy life-style behaviors of sport science students during the COVID-19 pandemic in distance education. Material and Methods. In total, 218 sport science students participated in this study voluntarily. The short form of International Physical Activity Questionnaire was administered for the determination of physical activity level of distance education students. Their physical activity levels were categorized as inactive, minimally active, and physically active by using Metabolic Equivalent Term method. Health-promoting Life-style Profile Questionnaire was used with self-actualization, health responsibility, exercise, nutrition, interpersonal support, and stress management subscales. The leisure satisfaction scale was administered for the determination of leisure satisfaction. Results. Results of Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Analyses indicated that there were positive significant correlations between “HLSB” and three sub-dimensions of “IPAQ” (MIA, VIA and Total). It was found positive correlation between “HLSB” and all sub-dimensions of “LSS” (Psychological, Educational, Social, Relaxation, Physiological and Aesthetical). Also, a significant positive correlation was found between four sub-dimensions of “LSS” (Social, Relaxation, Physiological and Aesthetical) and one sub-dimensions of “IPAQ” (W). It was observed that one sub-dimensions of “LSS” which is “Aesthetical”, and a positive correlation between all sub-dimensions of “IPAQ” was found. Conclusions. The findings of the present study indicated that healthy life-style behaviors were indicators of LSS and IPAQ and also aesthetical was found between IPAQ of sport science students.

Healthy Life Style

Risk behaviors associated with life style may deliver in students´ health risk. Therefore, our objective is to describe health risk behaviors perceived by health area university students. For this a 14 item survey about risk behaviors related to physical activity practice, food consumption, drug use, stress level and sleep habits was applied in the health area students. 995 students were interviewed. Most were women (69%) with 20.1 + 1.8 years old. Of these women surveyed, twenty nine percent report no physical activity. Fifty one percent eat 5 fruit and vegetables 4 times/week or more. Only 30% drinks 2 L of water/day. Eighty two percent don’t smoke, 55% don’t drink alcohol and 90% don’t use drugs. Twelve percent reports to be on stress always and 72% sleep more than 7 hours/day only 3 times/week or less. This work concluded that university students of the Health Area don´t have the healthy life style that’s expected.

Goal Perspectives

Sport and exercise focused research is reviewed stemming from a goal perspective model of motivation. It is suggested that this body of literature provides insight into the variability in physical activity patterns among girls and women. Further, evidence is presented which indicates that differences in the goal perspectives operating in the athletic setting relate to whether female athletic participation is health promotive or health endangering.

Spectator Identification

Aims: Physical inactivity in adolescents is a global health problem. Eighty percent of adolescents worldwide do not meet the minimum recommended physical activity. Although many adolescents define themselves as a ‘sports fan’, the relationships between sports spectatorship and sport participation in adolescents have not yet been investigated. Here, we determine whether there is a relationship between the levels of sports spectatorship and physical activity among adolescents. Methods: The Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A), Sport Spectator Identification Scale (SSIS) and three questions regarding total screen time spent watching a sports game and other sports-related screen time on weekdays and weekends were given to high school students in two cities in Turkey (Konya and Ankara). Results: After excluding 21 invalid questionnaires, a total of 1100 full and valid questionnaires were returned from the participants (578 females, 522 males). Participants were aged between 13 and 19 (median = 15) years. Female students had lower PAQ-A (median = 2.38, interquartile range (IQR) = 0.99) and SSIS scores (median = 19, IQR = 24) and less total screen time on weekends compared to male students (median PAQ-A = 2.64, IQR = 1.05; median SSIS = 29, IQR = 30) ( p < .05). The physical activity level of the students was significantly lower among those at higher grades. A weak positive correlation was found between SSIS scores and PAQ-A scores ( r = .28, p < .01). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that sex, age and SSIS scores were all significant predictors of PAQ-A scores ( p < .001). Conclusions: When comparing female and male adolescents, we found that females scored significantly less in mean physical activity levels, screen time on weekends and sports spectator identification. A positive correlation was observed between sports spectator identification and physical activity levels, both in males and in females. Higher sports spectator identification, being younger and being male were all significant predictors of higher levels of physical activity.

Aim: This study was conducted to examine healthy lifestyle behaviors and exercise behaviors of nursing students.Material and method: The sample of the descriptive study consisted of 317 students who were educated at the University of Health Sciences Faculty Nursing Department during the 2016-2017 school year and who agreed to participate in the research. Data were collected using via demografic characteristics questionnaire, Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale and Exercise Benefit/Barrier Scale. While the data were evaluated, percentage calculations, average measures, Kruskal Wallis test, Mann Whitney U test, One Way Anova and Student t test were used.Results: It was determined that the mean score of the students' Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale as 130,69±19,22. It was found that the highest scores were obtained from spiritual development sub-dimension (26,19±4,31) while the lowest scores were obtained from the physical activity sub-dimension (17,38±5,16) of the scale. It was determined that the mean score of the students' Exercise Benefit/Barrier Scale as 127,82±15,12, mean score of the benefit sub-dimension as 90,35±12,19 and the mean score of the barrier sub-dimension as 37,47±5,96. It was determined that there was a moderate correlation between the exercise benefit scores and the physical activity scores of the students, which was 41% in the positive direction.Conclusion: It was determined that the students' healthy life style behaviors were middle level and their exercise benefits perceptions  were high level. Physical activity behaviors of students were found to increase as the exercise benefit perception of them increased. In the direction of the results obtained from the research, in order to make the nursing students a good role model for the society, emphasizing the healthy lifestyle behaviours, especially nutrition, physical activity and stress management, from which they have received lower points, within the academic curriculums and trying to eliminate the perceived obstacles by attempting to improve the exercise benefit perceptions may be suggested. Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.ÖzetAmaç: Çalışma, öğrenci hemşirelerin sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ile egzersiz davranışlarının incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır.Materyal Metot: Tanımlayıcı tipteki araştırmanın örneklemini, bir üniversitenin Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi Hemşirelik Bölümü’nde Bölümü’nde 2016-2017 yıllarında öğrenim öğrenim gören ve araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 317 öğrenci oluşturmuştur.

Healthy Life Style

The ancient Greek philosopher Plato called movement as “salutary part of medicine”, while writer and historian Plutarch – as “storehouse of life”. Do we always apply efforts in order this “storehouse” be full? Today in the age of scientific-technological progress large-scale utilization of manual labour has been practically disappeared and there has been opened the door for the so called “diseases of the century”. The analysis of the results of students’ health and healthy life-style problems study has been presented in the article. The role of physical culture and of the department of physical culture in this process has been determined. The ways of university’s educational environments resources stirring up for this problem solution have been outlined. Many people try to fully protect themselves against physical activity. They think that the less physical activity the healthier they become. Many students try to make their physical activity less thereby breaking their health. In any ways they try to obtain health certificates in order not to attend physical culture lessons and practically in all cases they get moral support of parents and what is the worst of doctors.
