Effect of the Physical Activity Courses on the Physical Activity Level at University Students

NCT ID: NCT04299061

Last Updated: 2022-03-24

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: WITHDRAWN
• Clinical Phase: NA
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2020-03-30
• Study Completion Date: 2020-06-30

Brief Summary

The aim of our study is to evaluate the level of physical activity and awareness of physical activity among university students studying in a department other than health sciences and who have taken courses on "physical activity, exercise, healthy life".

According to the results of the study, the perceptions of students from different departments on physical activity and exercise will be compared and the effects of the courses they have taken on students' attitudes of daily physical activity will be examined.

Our hypothesizes are:

1 . A course such as an exercise, physical activity or wellness increases the awareness and physical activity level of students studying in different branches.

2. Stress and sleep problems are less common among students who do regular physical activity.

International Physical Activity Questionnaire

Intervention Type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

This measure assesses the types of intensity of physical activity and sitting time that people do as part of their daily lives are considered to estimate total physical activity in MET-min/week and time spent sitting. Walking = 3.3 METs Moderate Intensity = 4.0 METs Vigorous Intensity = 8.0 METs Total MET-minutes/week = Walk (METs*min*days) + Mod (METs*min*days) + Vig (METs*min*days)

1. Low: • No activity is reported OR • Some activity is reported but not enough to meet Categories 2 or 3. 2. Moderate: • 3 or more days of vigorous activity of at least 20 minutes per day OR • 5 or more days of moderate-intensity activity and/or walking of at least 30 minutes per day OR • 5 or more days of any combination of walking, moderate-intensity or vigorous intensity activities achieving a minimum of at least 600 MET-minutes/week. 3. High: • Vigorous-intensity activity on at least 3 days and accumulating at least 1500 MET-minutes/week

Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

Intervention Type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is an effective instrument used to measure the quality and patterns of sleep. It differentiates "poor" from "good" sleep by measuring seven domains: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleep medication, and daytime dysfunction over the last month.The client self rates each of these seven areas of sleep. Scoring of the answers is based on a 0 to 3 scale, whereby 3 reflects the negative extreme on the Likert Scale. A global sum of "5"or greater indicates a "poor" sleeper.

Physical Activity Awareness Questionnaire - prepared by the researchers

Intervention Type: OTHER

It consists of 13 questions to assess the physical activity level awareness of students. The questionnaire was prepared by the researchers therefore it does not have a validation.

Perceived Stress Scale

Intervention Type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) is a classic stress assessment instrument that helps understand how different situations affect feelings and perceived stress. The questions in this scale ask about feelings and thoughts during the last month. It consists of 14 questions.
