Abstract

The health of a society is conditioned by healthy lifestyle choices. A significant role in shaping health-related behaviour is played by university students, who should be leaders in the scope of health in the future. Our aim was to determine the intensity of physical activities and their relation with the intensity of health-related behaviours of university students of selected majors. Our research covered 372 students of physical education (292) and social sciences (108) from Poznań and Szczecin. We applied Minnesota Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire (MLTPAQ) and Health Behaviour Inventory (HBI). The relations between the level of physical activity (PA) and the health behaviour of the students were determined by intra-group correlations (r). The value of p<0.05 was adopted as statistically significant. Physical education (PE) and public health (PH) students showed higher levels of PA and health behaviour as compared to the students of social sciences (SS). The total activity metabolic index (AMI) indicated a lower level of PA among women, regardless of major. PA [4; 6) MET of tourism and recreation (T&R) students was highly and positively correlated with preventive behaviours (PB) (r=0.69). PA <4 MET of female T&R students and male PE students positively correlated with correct eating habits (CEH). We found negative correlations between PA ≥6 MET of female PE students and male PH students [4-6) and ≥6 MET and health practices (HP), as well as PA [4-6 MET) of male PE students and positive mental attitude (PMA). Positive and negative correlations between free-time physical activity and health-related behaviours indicate the need for regular physical and health education of students. Physical activity, correct eating habits and preventive behaviour of students will increase their chances of promoting a healthy lifestyle in society.
选定专业大学生体育活动强度与健康相关行为的关系
一个社会的健康取决于健康的生活方式选择。大学生在塑造与健康有关的行为方面发挥着重要作用,他们将来应该成为健康领域的领导者。我们的目的是确定选定专业大学生的体育活动强度及其与健康相关行为强度的关系。我们的研究覆盖了来自波兹纳斯和什切青的372名体育学生(292名)和社会科学学生(108名)。我们采用明尼苏达州休闲时间身体活动问卷(MLTPAQ)和健康行为量表(HBI)。体育活动水平(PA)与学生健康行为的关系用组内相关(r)表示,以p<0.05为差异有统计学意义。体育(PE)和公共卫生(PH)的学生比社会科学(SS)的学生表现出更高的PA和健康行为水平。总活动代谢指数(AMI)表明,无论专业如何,女性的PA水平都较低。PA [4;6)旅游休闲(T&R)学生的MET与预防行为(PB)呈高度正相关(r=0.69)。体育女学生PA <4 MET与正确饮食习惯(CEH)呈正相关。我们发现,体育女学生和哲学男学生的PA≥6 MET与健康习惯(HP)呈负相关,体育男学生的PA [4-6 MET]与积极心理态度(PMA)呈负相关。自由时间体育活动与健康相关行为之间存在正相关和负相关关系,表明有必要对学生进行定期的体育和健康教育。学生的体育活动、正确的饮食习惯和预防行为将增加他们在社会上推广健康生活方式的机会。
