Abstract:

Objective: The aim is to see the frequency of physical activity and obesity of students who change their eating habits during the school period and the impact of the changes in their body compositions, to determine the body component values and the frequency of obesity of children who do sports. Method: 267 students with an average age of 11,54 ± 2,08 were involved in the study in Cutting-edge type. After the face-to-face survey application, the body analysis of students was accompanied with the survey by performing with the body composition analyzer (TANITA). With the TANITA BF-556 Body Fat Monitor, weight measurements, body mass index (BMI) and body composition measurements have been taken. Results: 47.6 percent of participants are girls, 72.2 percent are shopping in the restaurant and 42.4 percent are doing sports every day. 20.6 percent of students are obese and 19 percent. It is found that 1 is obese. The average body fat percentage for girls is 25.31±5.5, while the average body fat percentage for boys is 22.89±12.6 (p=0.008) while the average body fat percentage for boys and boys is 0.125 (p=0.125). The result: Our study found that the number of overweight and obese individuals in children was similarly high as the studies in our country. It is important for family doctors to make family reports by monitoring risky children and adolescents in schools on a regular basis.
