ÖĞRETİM ELEMANLARININ FİZİKSEL AKTİVİTE DÜZEYLERİNİN BELİRLENMESİ VE BAZI DEĞİŞKENLER AÇISINDAN İNCELENMESİ
Abstract
Eğitim düzeyi en yüksek grubu temsil ettiği varsayılan öğretim
elemanlarının fiziksel aktivite düzeylerini (FAD) belirlemek ve çeşitli değişkenlere göre incelemek amacıyla, tarama
modeline göre yapılan bu araştırmaya Ankara il merkezindeki üniversitelerde görev yapmakta olan
tesadüfi örneklem yolu ile seçilmiş 752 öğretim elemanı katılmıştır. Araştırma grubunun son üç aydır düzenli
olarak yapmakta oldukları fiziksel aktivitelerin düzey ve biçimlerini belirlemek için Blair tarafından oluşturulan
Cooper Anketi kullanılmış, öğretim elemanlarının cinsiyet, yaş, çocuk sahibi olma, akademik unvan, aylık gelir ve
vücut kitle indeksi değerlerine göre fiziksel aktivite düzeylerindeki dağılım ve farklılıklar incelenmiştir. Ölçme aracına
katılımcılar kendi boy ve ağırlıklarını rapor ettiklerinden, vücut kitle indeksi bu değerler göz önünde
bulundurularak hesaplanmıştır. Sonuçlara göre, bayanların fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri erkeklere oranla anlamlı
derecede düşüktür. Araştırmada yaşa, çocuk sahibi olma durumuna ve akademik unvana göre fiziksel aktivite düzeyinde
manidar farklılıklar olmamasına rağmen, öğretim elemanlarında yaş ve akademik düzey arttıkça fiziksel
aktivite düzeyinin de yükseldiği gözlenmiştir. Aylık geliri yüksek olan öğretim elemanları lehine fiziksel
aktivite düzeylerinde anlamlı farklılıklar görülmüştür. Çalışmada obez olan öğretim elemanları ile normal kilolu olanlar
arasında fiziksel aktivite düzeyine göre farklılık bulunamamıştır.

Abstract
In this survey type research, which was aimed to examine the physical activity level (PAL) of academicians, who are assumed to have highest education level, related to some variables. Randomly selected 752 academicians, working currently in the central faculties of the universities in Ankara, participated in this research. Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study Physical Activity Questionnaire, created by Blair, was used to determine the physical activity level and patterns of the research group during the last three months and the frequency, percentage and differences in the physical activity level were examined according to their gender, age, marital status, having a child, completing a post graduate programme in abroad, academical degree, monthly income and body mass index. Because participants in this study reported their height and weight values to the questionn aires, body mass index values of them were calculated regarding to those reports. According to the results women’s physical activity level were significantly lower than men. Although there were not any significant differences between physical activity levels and age, having a child and academical levels, it was seen that as the age and academical degree rose, the physical activity level also increased. There was a significant difference in the physical activity level of academicians who had high monthly income. In this research no significant difference was seen between obese and normal weight academicians’ physical activity level.
