Özet

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare oral exercise education with both of oral and applied exercise education for increasing physical activity in healthy young students.

Method: Sixteen inactive medical faculty students aged 18-24 years old were participated voluntarily in this study. Participants were separated in two groups as oral exercise education (OE) or applied and oral exercise education (AOE) groups. Physical activities were recorded during seven days following the measurement of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). OE was given during 30 minutes in both groups. Applied education was done during 15 minutes in AOE group. Recording of physical activity before and after education were compared in groups.

Results: Mean age, BMI and VO2max levels were similar in two groups. Daily energy expenditure was higher when compared during three days before and after education in AOE group (428,1 (345,8-476,6) vs 525,8 (382,8-637,8) Kcal/day, p=0.01). Increased daily step count has been observed after education in AOE group (5858,8 (5038,1-8250,0) vs 8811,5 (6773,1-10755,4) step/day, p=0.01). Daily energy expenditure and daily step count were similar before and after oral exercise education in OE group.

Conclusion: Applied exercise education followed by the oral education can play increasing role of daily physical activity.
