Abstract:

This research was conducted with the aim of studying the levels of physical activity, body compositions and lifestyle of high school students studying in private and public schools, while also to reveal a comparable study. The universe of study consists of a total of 237 high school students studying in private and public schools. The scale used in the data collection phase is the Adolesan Lifestyle Survey, which was developed by Pender in 1997 and valid and reliable by Hendricks and his friends in 2006. The method was applied to measure the physical activity of students participating in the study by day-to-day step count (pedometers). The duration of the pedometers is seven working days. For the purpose of determining body composition, the fat rates were measured by the bioelectric impedance tool, the body mass index (kg/boy2) was calculated using the size and weight measurements. In the analysis of the data, the SPSS package program was used. Kolmogorov Smirnov test for normality test was performed, the independent t-test for normal distribution data in bilateral comparisons in cases where more than two variables were compared, the one-way ANOVA test for non-parametric variables, the Mann-Whitney U test for bilateral comparisons, the Kruskal-Walis test for comparisons of more than two variables was used. In this study, the meaning level (p<0.05) is determined. According to schools, women and men’s weekly and weekly steps differed statistically, while weekly and weekly steps differed (p>0,05). When the adoleshent lifestyle sub-dimensions were studied, there was no significant difference between the sub-dimensions according to the schools where women students went. and 8. There is no significant difference between classmates and classmates, whereas physical activity has been different from the classmates to the classmates.
