THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS' PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVEL AND VARIOUS ANTHROPOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS WITH THEIR ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

Öz:

Bu çalışmanın amacı ilköğretim 8. sınıf öğrencilerinde fiziksel aktivite düzeyi ve bazı antropometriközellikler ile akademik başarı arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesidir. Çalışmanın örneklemi 2011-2012eğitim öğretim yılında Konya ili merkez ilçelerinde (Selçuklu, Meram, Karatay) 12 farklı ilköğretimokulunda rastgele ulaşılan 324 (n=168 kız, n=156 erkek) gönüllü 8. sınıf öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır.Öğrencilerin fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri Crocker ve diğ. (1997) tarafından geliştirilen ve geçerlilik güvenilirlikçalışmaları yapılan Physical Activity Questionnare for Older Children (PAQ-C 4-8) ölçeğinin araştırmakapsamında Türkçeye uyarlanmış hali olan Çocuklar için Fiziksel Aktivite Ölçeği (ÇFAÖ) iledeğerlendirilmiştir. Öğrencilerin antropometrik özelliklerinin belirlenmesinde boy uzunluğu ve vücut ağırlığıölçümleri ile bioelektrik impedans analizinden (BİA) yararlanılmıştır. Akademik başarının ölçütü olaraköğrencilerin, 2012 yılı haziran ayında yapılan Seviye Belirleme Sınavından (SBS) aldıkları puanlarkullanılmıştır.Öğrencilerin fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri ve bazı antropometrik özellikleri (boy uzunluğu) ile akademikbaşarıları arasında önemsenemeyecek kadar düşük bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür (sırasıyla r=.11 ve .13;p<.05). Cinsiyete göre erkeklerde fiziksel aktivite düzeyi ile akademik başarı arasında zayıf bir ilişkininolduğu (r=.23; p<.05); ancak kızlarda fiziksel aktivite düzeyi ile akademik başarı arasında herhangi birilişkinin olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır (r=.05; p>.05). Erkeklerde boy uzunluğu ile akademik başarıarasında zayıf bir ilişkinin olduğu görülürken (r=.21; p<.05); vücut ağırlığı ile akademik başarı arasındaönemsenemeyecek kadar düşük bir ilişkinin olduğu belirlenmiştir (r=.18; p<.05). Kızlarda boy uzunluğu ileakademik başarı arasında önemsenemeyecek kadar düşük bir ilişkinin olduğu anlaşılmıştır (r=.15; p<.05).Öğrencilerin vücut ağırlıkları (erkekler hariç), BKİ ve vücut yağ yüzdesi (VYY) değerleri ile akademikbaşarıları arasında herhangi bir ilişkinin olmadığı görülmüştür (sırasıyla r=.09; .03 ve .10; p>.05).

İLKÖĞRETİM 8. SINIF ÖĞRENCİLERİNDE FİZİKSEL AKTİVİTE DÜZEYİ VE BAZI ANTROPOMETRİK ÖZELLİKLERİN AKADEMİK BAŞARI İLE İLİŞKİSİ

Öz:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between elementary school eight grade students'physical activity level, their various anthropometric characteristics and their academic achievement. Theparticipants of the study includes randomly chosen 324 volunteer eight grade students (n=168 female,n=156 male) from 12 different elementary schools located in the central towns of the city, Konya(Selçuklu, Meram, Karatay) in 2011-2012 Academic Year.The students' physical activity levels were assessed through the Turkish adaptation version of thePhysical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C 4-8) developed and tested in terms of validityand reliability by Crocker et al (1997). To determine the students' anthropometric characteristics,measurement of length and weight as well as bioelectiric impedence analysis (BIA) were utilized. As anindicator of the students' academic achievement, the students' results in The National Placement Exam in2012 were used.It was observed that there is no significant relationship between the students' physical activity level, theirvarious anthropometric characteristics (their length) and their academic achievement (r=.11 ve .13; p<.05respectively). In terms of sex, it was found that there is a low relationship between physical activity leveland academic achievement in male students (r=.23; p<.05); however, there is no significant relationshipbetween physical activity level and academic achievement in female students (r=.05; p>.05). It wasobserved that in male students, there is a low relationship between their length and academicachievement (r=.21; p<.05) and there is an insignificantly low relationship between their body weight andacademic achievement (r=.18; p<.05). In female students, it was concluded that there is an insignificantlylow relationship between their length and academic achievement (r=.15; p<.05). It was seen that there isno relationship between the students' body weight (except the male students), BKİ, body fat rate and theiracademic achievement (r=.09; .03 ve .10; p>.05 respectively).
