Fiziksel Aktivite ve Bazal Metabolik Hız Değerleri Spor Bilimleri Özel Yetenek Sınavı Parkur Süresinde Ne Kadar Etkilidir

Calculation of daily energy consumption is used as a criterion in determining the level of physical activity (PA) which has a complex structure. Basal metabolic rate (BMR) constitutes one of the main parts of energy expenditure. In the present study, primarily it was aimed to determine the FA levels and BMR values of the candidates who took the attitude talent exam (ability track) of the Faculty of Sports Sciences during the exam preparation period. Secondarily, the effect of these determined values on the track scores (TS) was examined. The sample group of the study consisted of 279 volunteer candidates (105 women; 174 men) who participated in the Special Attitude Test (Ability Track) of the Faculty of Sports Sciences. International Physical Activity Questionnaire–Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and demographic information form were used as data collection tools. BMR values of the participants were calculated according to the Harris-Benedict formula using age, body weight and height data. In addition, body mass index (BMI) of the candidates were determined. The TS of the candidates participating in the ability track were recorded and correlated with their PA level and BMR values. SPSS 23.0 statistical package software was used in the analysis of the obtained data. Regression analysis was used to determine the effect of PA level and BHM on TS and BMI. According to the study results, it has been determined that BMR has a statistically significant effect on TS and BMI (p<0,05). While BMR data of female and male candidates were found to affect BMI statistically (p<0,05), PA level was not. As a result, it was revealed that candidates who will take special attitude test should pay more attention to exercise programs that improve their physical capacity; at the same time their daily nutrition and diet routine must be organised according to the amount of calories needed.
