Physical activity levels of subjects
When the subjects were
investigated according to their PAL, it was determined that the ratio of
women who had a low level of physical activity was 85.00 %, and the
ratio of those who had a normal level of physical activity was 15 %. It
was found that women did not have an intense level of physical activity.
Regarding men, the ratio of those who had a low level of physical
activity was found to be 66.70 %, the ratio of those who had a normal
level of physical activity was 22.20,%, and the ratio of those who had
an intense level of physical activity was 11.10 % (Table.8).
When the PAL of women was
investigated, it was determined that, as the physical activity level
increased, the average levels of BMI, WC, PrBG, PoBG, and triglycerides
decreased. It was determined that there was a rise in the HDL-c levels
of women linked to the increase in their PAL. The difference between the
average values of BMI, WC, blood glucose, and blood lipids was not found
to be statistically significant (Table 9). It was determined that, with
the increase in the women’s PAL, there was no correlation between BMI,
WC, blood glucose, and blood lipids in a positive or negative direction.
When the PAL of men was investigated, it was seen that the average
levels of BMI, WC, PoBG, and triglycerides were reduced in those who had
an intense level of physical activity when compared to those with low
levels. It was discovered that there was an increase in the men’s HDL-c
levels linked to the increase in PAL. With the increase in the physical
activity levels of the men, the difference between average values of
BMI, WC, blood glucose, and blood lipids was not found to be
statistically significant (Table 9).
It was determined that there was a correlation in a positive direction
between an increase in the physical activity level of men and an
increase in HDL- c (r= 0.51 p< 0.006), and that there was a
correlation in a negative direction with an decrease in PoBG (r=- 0.43
p< 0.024).
