Abstract
Aim. To evaluate the calorie expenditure of various forms of tourist activity in students from Opole University of Technology.Basic procedures. The material for the work are data obtained from research studies conducted in 2011–2012 at Opole University of Technology on students studying tourism and recreation. A total group of 217 people was tested, including 109 men and 108 women, aged 18 to 35 years, with tourist activity based on lowland hiking, mountain hiking and lowland cycling tourism. The research method used in the study was the participant direct observation, using a recording technique of movement kinematic parameters. The research tool was a single-axis accelerometer (Caltrac Monitor). Within the framework of the statistical analysis, basic statistical characteristics were calculated, the Mann-Whitney test was performed and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed. Statistical inference was carried out at a given significance level of p < 0.05.Main findings. Among the subjects, there were significant differences in the volume of physical activity between men and women. With regard to the intensity of physical activity, similar regularity was observed only in the case of lowland hiking. Among the surveyed men the highest caloric cost was related to lowland hiking, and the lowest to lowland cycling, while for women the highest caloric expenditure was associated with cycling, and the lowest with marches on flat ground.Conclusions. The conducted research has confirmed the importance of application of objective methods for measuring physical activity, which should be used in a complementary way with subjective methods.
