Physical activity, body composition and health assessment in current female undergraduate students with active and inactive lifestyle

Original language description

Optimum physical activity is an important protective factor decreasing the emergence of many diseases, especially non-communicable diseases. In terms of ontogenetic development, an optimum amount and intensity of PA is irreplaceable in each developmental stage. In our case, we focused on younger adult women. The aim of this study was to determine and to compare the total and segmental proportion of body fat in adult women with regular controlled physical activity who meet the basic health recommendations, i.e. a specific amount of weekly physical activity, and physically inactive adult women. The study included 337 women. To assess the level of physical activity the study used the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. To determine body composition and perform a segmental analysis we used a non-invasive method of tetrapolar electrical bioimpedance using the InBody 230 device. To assess the current level of health, a standardized psychodiagnostic tool was used - Life Satisfaction Questionnaire. Statistical result processing was conducted using the Statgraphics programme v. 10.0. Statistical significance was tested at p LESS-THAN OR EQUAL TO .05, p LESS-THAN OR EQUAL TO .01. A comparison of the proportion of body fat and segmental analysis in physically active and physically inactive younger adult women clearly demonstrates a significant difference in the compared characteristics in terms of lower values in physically active women and higher values in inactive women. Significant differences were also found in the assessment of health and its partial components.
