Relationship Between Morphological Components Of Fitness And Physical Activity Level Of Female Students Of The Faculty Of Teacher Education

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi postoji li povezanost morfoloških sastavnica fitnesa s razinom tjelesne aktivnosti kod studentica Učiteljskog fakulteta u Čakovcu. Uzorak ispitanika činilo je 146 studentica prve godine redovnog i izvanrednog studija. Uzorak varijabli sastajao se od osam antropometrijskih mjera. Sva mjerenja i svi testovi provedeni su u dvorani Učiteljskog fakulteta u Čakovcu. Izračunani su Spearmanovi koeficijenti korelacije između tjelesne aktivnosti i antropometrijskih mjera (indeks tjelesne mase, kožni nabora nadlaktice, kožni nabor suprailiokristalni, kožni nabor bedra, postotak tjelesne masti, opseg trbuha, opseg bokova i indeks rizičnosti tipa pretilosti). Rezultati su pokazali da je veliki postotak studentica s normalnom tjelesnom masom od 75,9 %, međutim ono što zabrinjava postotak je od 24,1 % povećane tjelesne mase i pretilosti. Rezultati također pokazuju da 91,7 % studentica ima normalni indeks tipa pretilosti, dok samo 8,3 % ima povećani indeks. Prema vrijednostima minimalnih i maksimalnih rezultata mjerenih morfoloških varijabli, mogu se uočiti veliki rasponi u varijablama tjelesne mase, kožnih nabora i opsega trbuha i kukova. Deskriptivnim parametrima Baeckovog upitnika najveća prosječna vrijednost postignuta je u području slobodnog vremena, manja je u području sporta, dok je najmanja prosječna vrijednost tjelesne aktivnosti postignuta na fakultetu. Spearmanovi koeficijenti korelacije između morfoloških varijabli i tjelesne aktivnosti ukazuju na niske negativne vrijednosti u svim morfološkim varijablama osim u opsegu trbuha. Varijabla indeks slobodno vrijeme pokazuje značajnu negativnu korelaciju samo s kožnim naborom bedra. Slaba negativna povezanost dobivena je između ukupne tjelesne aktivnosti i indeksa tjelesne mase, kožnog nabora nadlaktice, kožnog nabora bedra, postotka tjelesne masti i opsega bokova.The aim of this research was to determine whether there is a correlation between morphological components of fitness and the level of physical activity of students at the Faculty if teachers in Čakovec. The sample consisted of 146 first year students of full and part-time study. The sample of variables was composed of eight anthropometric measures. All measurements and all tests were carried out in the hall of the Faculty of teachers in Čakovec. Spearman˙s correlation coefficients between physical activity and anthropometric measures were calculated (body mass indeks, upper arm skin wrinkles, superprailiographic skin slope, thigh skin fold, percentage of body fat, abdominal scope, perimeter of hips and obesity risk indeks). The results showed that a large percentage of female students with a normal body mass of 75,9%, but what is of concern is a percentage of 24,1% of increased body weight and obesity. The results also show that 91,7% of students have a normal obesity indeks, while only 8,3% have an increased indeks. Based on the minimal and maximum results of the morphological variables measured, large ranges can be observed in body mass, skin folds and abodominal and hip volumes. With descriptive parameters of Baeck˙s questionnaire, the highest average value was achieved in the field of leisure time, smaller in the field of sports, while the lowest average value pf physical activity was achieved at the Faculty. Spearman˙s correlation coefficients between morphological variables and physical activity indicate low negative values in all morphological variables except in the abdominal range. The variable the free time indeks shows a significant negative correlation only with the skin tightness of the thigh. Poor negative relationship was obtained between total body activity and body mass index, upper arm skin wrinkles, thigh skin wrinkles, percentage of body fat and size of hips
