The aim of this study was to investigate the
effect of cardio exercise together with some parameters on body perception and
life satisfaction. 48 sedentary individuals between 20-45 years old were voluntarily
participated in the study. 14-week cardio Exercise was applied to Experimental
group and body weight, height, body fat percentage, body mass index, metabolism
rate measurements of participants in experimental-control group were taken as
pretest-posttest. “Body Areas Satisfaction” sub-dimension of “The
Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ)” scale was used to
determine the body perception levels of participants in the research whereas
"Life Satisfaction with Life Scale” was used to determine their life
satisfaction levels. As a result; a significant difference was
found between pretest and posttest values of body weight, body fat percentage,
body mass index, metabolism rate, life satisfaction and body perception of
males and females doing cardio exercises (experimental group). Depending on
cardio exercise program, a positive development was determined in body weight,
body mass index, body fat percentage, metabolism rate, life satisfaction and
body perception properties of females and males in experimental group. It was
considered that cardio exercise program positively changed life satisfaction
and body perception level with physiological parameters.
