Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Study Focus: This study aimed at evaluating adolescents’ health literacy level of muscle atrophy due physical, exercise and medical factors with one hundred and twenty participants (n=120) of mean and standard deviation age 16.5±3.5 ranged from 13-20 years sampled using the systematic random sampling method, with variables tested at One-sample t-Test of IBM-SPSS Version 23. Results: The Comparative analysis from the test showed significance difference in scores for all tested variables with pretest and post-test t-scores of 08.531-&-26.202 in table 2; 13.712-&-49.239 in table 4, and 11.116-&-20.281 in table 6 @ *p<0.000 2-tailed significance level with test-value of 0.05. Conclusion: There was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores for all tested variables as evidenced also in their mean scores, percentages, frequencies and 95% confidence interval difference scores. Recommendation: It is recommended that, health literacy is taught in schools during health and physical education classes.
