Abstract

      This research aims to examine medical profiles and risk factors of female and male students receiving education at different department of the university. ITU students constitute the research population. ECG, pulse, body mass index, blood values, urine values, and spirometric measures were carried out on both groups included in sample group; and those students included in risk group. As a result, the data obtained were taken under control by doctors serving at the medico-social facility of our university. In examination of blood values, cholesterol levels of those groups doing regular exercise or not doing any exercise were found to be significantly higher compared to those doing exercise. In the same direction, body fat levels of the groups were different on a significant level. No considerable finding was detected in urine values gathered.

RESEARCHING REGULAR EXERCISE ACTIVITIES WITH REGARD TO MEDICAL PROFILES AND RISK FACTORS: A RESEARCH ON ISTANBUL TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY (ITU)

Abstract

Bu araştırmada, üniversitenin farklı bölümlerinde öğrenim gören kız ve erkek öğrencilerin sağlık profilleri ve risk faktörlerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Örneklem grubunda yer alan her grubun EKG, nabız, vücut kitle indeksi, kan değerleri, idrar değerleri, spirometrik ölçümleri yapılmış, elde edilen veriler neticesinde risk grubuna giren öğrencilerimiz üniversitemizin mediko sosyal merkezinde bulunan doktorlar tarafından kontrol altına alınmıştır. Kan değerleri incelendiğinde düzensiz egzersiz yapan ve yapmayan grupların kolesterol düzeyleri spor yapanlara göre anlamlı düzeyde yüksek çıkmıştır. Aynı doğrultuda grupların vücut yağ düzeyleri anlamlı düzeyde farklıdır. Alınan idrar değerlerinde kayda değer bir bulguya rastlanmamıştır
