Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2019, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
Background: Body compositions and sedentary lifestyle play an important role in increasing obesity in an individual. The real reason for this can be ought to be sedentary lifestyle or decreased physical activity in young adults. Thus, this study would help us find correlation between levels of Physical activity (PA) and anthropometric measures in young adults and help us create awareness about importance of Physical activity and reduce risk factors and promote healthy lifestyle. Aim: To assess physical activity and anthropometric measures in young adults. Objectives: 1) To assess Physical activity using IPAQ in young adults. 2) To assess BMI, waist circumference and body fat percentage with skinfold caliper using Jackson Pollock calculator in young adults. 3) To correlate physical activity and anthropometric measures. Methodology: A total of 80 young adults of the age group 17 to 22 years of age were taken for this study. The design of this study is Observational study. Their physical activity was calculated using International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference were also calculated. Body fat percentage for 3 site skin fold thickness using skinfold caliper was calculated using Jackson Pollock calculator. Results: 1) Direct correlation exists between PA and BMI, PA and Age and PA and Waist circumference in both males and females. 2) Inverse correlation exists between PA and body fat percentage in males and direct correlation in females. 3) Inverse correlation exists between PA and Body Density in females and direct correlation in males.
