Abstract (en)
Introduction: High school students’ weight gain is observable in the period of their
transition from school to university. In universities, students encounter several
challenges in adopting a new lifestyle due to study stress, time management
problems, busy class schedules and other challenges. All these chellenges make those
students unaware about their health. During this transition period of life, university
students are vulnerable to unhealthy eating patters and sedentary lifestyle behaviors
such as fast food snacking, meal skipping, excessive smoking and alcohol consumption,
excessive internet use as well as inactivity. These unhealthy lifestyle behaviors
comprised of sedentary behaviors including low level of physical activity, sitting for long
hours of study, combined with unhealthy eating habits like fast food snacking, meal
skipping, low consumption of fruits and vegetables, low intake of dietary products, are
associated with weight gain and obesity in this critical life age. Therefore, these
worrisome unhealthy lifestyle behaviors calls for appropriate lifestyle changes before
disease development and morbidity.
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to examine the relationships between the two most
important factors of quality of life, such as physical activity and dietary (eating) habits,
and to determine their impact on body composition, and all in relation to student
specialty and gender characteristics among Lebanese universities’ students.
Methods: The studied sample included 384 Lebanese student from the Lebanese
University, Faculty of Education. These students were divided into 4 subsamples for the
purpose of this dissertation, 100 sport male student, 100 sport female students, 70 non-
sport male students, and 114 non-sport female students. The three-lifestyle factors:
Physical Activity, Dietary habits, and Body composition were identified and assessed.
Physical Activity was assessed using the self-administered extended form English
version of IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaire) containing 27 questions
that covers four (4) domains of physical activity (work-related physical activity,
transport-related physical activity, domestic (housework) and gardening (yard)
activities, leisure time physical activity), along with the time spent sitting. All questions
refer to the previous 7 days. As for Nutrition habits, the standardized Dietary
questionnaire was used including four sections: Eating Habits, Physical Activity, Dietary
Beliefs, and Nutrition Knowledge. Body Composition was assessed using the method of
multifrequency bioelectrical analysis. A multi-channel bioelectric impedance analyzer
InBody 270 (Biospace Co. Ltd, Seoul, Korea) was utilized to measure sets of five primary
direct measures of body composition variables (BM, BH, BFM, SMM, TBW) and seven
derived indirect measures (BMI, PBFM, BFMI, PSMM, SMMI, IH, MFI).
Results: Starting with body composition, all Lebanese students’ samples were found in
normal body weight except the non-sport male students which were found overweight.
Abstract (sr)
вод: Прелазак из средње школе на колеџ или универзитет је критичан период за
повећање телесне масе. Млади одрасли на универзитетима се генерално суочавају
са различитим изазовима као што су усвајање новог окружења, стрес од учења,
недостатак правилног управљања временом и интензиван распоред часова који
доводе до недостатка свести о свом здрављу. Током овог периода живота, студенти
практикују неке нездраве навике у исхрани и стилове живота као што су
прескакање оброка, једење грицкалица, конзумација брзе хране, пушење,
прекомерна употреба интернета, физичка неактивност и седентарно понашање.
Низак ниво физичке активности (ФA) у комбинацији са седентарним понашањем
(нпр. гледање телевизије, седење уз рачунар) такође је повезан са повећањем
телесне масе и гојазношћу. Нездраве дијететске навике међу студентима, као што
су избегавање оброка, мала конзумација воћа и поврћа, висок унос брзе хране и
низак унос млечних производа забрињавају и појачавају потребу за раним
откривањем нездравих навика у исхрани, тако да се могу направити одговарајуће
промене начина живота пре као превентива могућих здравствених поремећаја.
Циљ: Циљ рада је да се испитају односи између два најважнија фактора квалитета
живота, као што су физичка активност и навике у исхрани, и да се утврди њихов
утицај на телесну композицију, а све у вези са врстом студија и родним
карактеристикама студената либанских универзитета.
Методе: Проучавани узорак обухватао је 384 либанска студента са Педагошког
факултета Универзитета у Либану. Ови студенти су за потребе ове дисертације
подељени у 4 подузорка, 100 студената спорта, 100 студенткиња спорта, 70
студената који се не баве спортом и 114 студенткиња неспортиста.
Идентификовани су и процењена три фактора начина живота: физичка
активност, навике у исхрани и композиција тела. Физичка активност је процењена
коришћењем проширене енглеске верзије IPAQ (Интернационални Упитик о
Физичкој Активности) која садржи 27 питања која покривају четири (4) домена
физичке активности (физичка активност у вези са радом, физичка активност
везана за транспорт, кућни послови и баштенске тј. дворишне активности,
физичка активност у слободно време), као и време проведено седећи. Сва питања
су се односила на претходних 7 дана. Што се тиче навика у исхрани, коришћен је
стандардизован упитник о исхрани који укључује четири одељка: навике у
исхрани, физичка активност, уверења о исхрани и знање о исхрани...
