Abstract:

This study was conducted with the aim of studying the level of knowledge of the students of the Faculty of Sports Sciences about cardiovascular disease risk factors. The study’s work group 2019-2020 educational and academic year at the Faculty of Sports Sciences of Erciyes University (n=161 men, n=146 women) 7. It was created by the students of the period (2019). The personal information form prepared by the researchers to collect the data of the study and the cardiovascular disease risk factors information level (CARRIF-BD) scale were used. The SPSS 22.0 package program was used to evaluate the data. The average age of the volunteer students who participated in the study was 22.34 ± 2,09 years, while the CARRIF-BD score was 16.70 ± 4,71. As a result of the double comparison of the scores obtained from the scores, statistically significant differences were detected in the circumstances of the students who had a heart disease (p<0,05), having a training certificate (p<0,05) and doing physical activity (p<0,01), while statistically significant differences were not detected in the circumstances of gender and family health workers (p>0,05). As a result of the multi-comparation of the scores obtained from the scores, statistically significant differences were detected in the scores of the score average (p<0,01) and the physical activity frequency (p<0,05) while statistically significant differences were not detected in the scores of the section (p>0,05). As a result, the level of knowledge of KVH risk factors of students at the Faculty of Sports Sciences has been found to be above the average level. KVH risk factors have also been found to be influenced by the average score of students, the state of being a training certificate, the state of having heart disease nearby, the state of physical activity and the frequency of physical activity variables. Especially students with high score average, KVH level of knowledge is also seen to have high average. Therefore, it can be said that the transfer of sufficient information at the Faculty of Sports Sciences occurs. Therefore, it is recommended that students should be encouraged to better work on the curriculum content provided in order to increase the KVH level of knowledge.
