    Background Obesity has become a major health issue in the world and directly reduces the quality of life. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of aerobic and resistance exercises on body composition and quality of life (QoL) in overweight and obese women. Method An experimental study involving 90 overweight/obese women aged between 20-45 years participated in the study voluntarily and were randomized into control (n=30), aerobic exercise (AE) (n=30), and resistance exercise (RE) (n=30) groups. Either AE or RE groups performed exercise for 60 minutes per day for 10 weeks, whereas the control group did not perform any exercise. The body composition and QoL of the women were measured before and after the exercise. Results Body weight, BMI, fat mass, and waist and hip circumferences decreased significantly in both AE and RE groups after the exercise intervention compared to the control group (p<0.05). In addition, quality of life sub-dimensions including physical health, psychological health, social relationship, and environment sub-dimensions improved significantly in the AE and RE groups compared to the control group (p<0.001). Post hoc Tukey test showed that AE was as effective as RE for improving body composition parameters and QoL sub dimension compared to control group. Conclusion This study demonstrated that both AE and RE were effective in improving body composition and thereby increasing the QoL in overweight and obese women. Both AE and RE programs are effective and should be considered within any multicomponent therapy program in overweight and obese women

    The aim of the study was to compare the effect of 8 weeks of online Zumba exercises and walking on body composition, eating attitude and body image perception in overweight and obese women during the pandemic. Material and methods. A cohort of 150 obese women aged between 20 and 40 years old were classified as Control (n=50), Walking (n=50) and Zumba (n=50) groups. All groups received dietary counselling, while the Zumba and walking groups received 8 weeks of exercise intervention. Bioimpedance, Body Image Scale and Three-Factor Nutrition Questionnaire-Revised 18 Items Scale were used to assess body composition, body image satisfaction and eating behavior, respectively. Paired Sample T test and ANOVA analysis were used at the significance level of 伪=0.05. Results. Walking a nd Z umba e xercise g roups h ad l ower BMI, f at m ass, f at p ercentage a nd w aist-tohip ratio. The body image increased significantly in both walking and Zumba groups, while a decline was determined in the control group at the end of the study. Uncontrolled eating, emotional eating and sensitivity to hunger decreased in walking and Zumba groups, while there was no significant difference in cognitive restrain for all three groups. Conclusions. It can be concluded that 8-week home-based online Zumba exercise with self-monitoring via Smartphone apps was as effective as walking for improving body composition and eating attitudes of overweight and obese women.Celem badania by艂o por贸wnanie wp艂ywu 8-tygodniowych 膰wicze艅 Zumby online i spacer贸w na sk艂ad cia艂a, nastawienie do od偶ywiania i postrzeganie w艂asnego cia艂a u kobiet z nadwag膮 i oty艂o艣ci膮 w czasie pandemii. Materia艂 i metody. Kohort臋 150 oty艂ych kobiet w wieku od 20 do 40 lat podzielono na grup臋 kontroln膮 (n=50), grup臋 odbywaj膮c膮 spacery (n=50) i 膰wicz膮c膮 Zumb臋 (n=50). Wszystkie grupy otrzyma艂y porady dietetyczne, podczas gdy grupy 膰wicz膮ce Zumb臋 i odbywaj膮ce spacery otrzyma艂y 8-tygodniow膮 interwencj臋 w postaci aktywno艣ci fizycznej. Do oceny odpowiednio sk艂adu cia艂a, zadowolenia z postrzegania w艂asnego cia艂a i zachowa艅 偶ywieniowych u偶yto bioimpedancji, skali postrzegania w艂asnego cia艂a i zrewidowanej zawieraj膮cej 18 pozycji skali tr贸jczynnikowego kwestionariusza 偶ywieniowego TFEQ-R18. Test t鈥慡tudenta dla pr贸bek sparowanych i analiz臋 ANOVA zastosowano na poziomie istotno艣ci 伪=0,05. Wyniki. Osoby w grupach spaceruj膮cej i 膰wicz膮cej Zumb臋 mia艂y ni偶szy BMI, mas臋 tkanki t艂uszczowej, procent t艂uszczu i stosunek obwodu talii do obwodu bioder. Postrzeganie w艂asnego cia艂a istotnie si臋 poprawi艂o zar贸wno w grupie odbywaj膮cej spacery, jak i trenuj膮cej Zumb臋, podczas gdy w grupie kontrolnej stwierdzono pogorszenie tego wyniku pod koniec badania. Niekontrolowane jedzenie, jedzenie pod wp艂ywem emocji i wra偶liwo艣膰 na g艂贸d zmniejszy艂y si臋 w grupie odbywaj膮cej spacery, jak i 膰wicz膮cej Zumb臋, podczas gdy nie by艂o istotnych r贸偶nic w ograniczaniu jedzenia dla wszystkich trzech grup. Wnioski. Mo偶na stwierdzi膰, 偶e 8-tygodniowe, prowadzone w domach, 膰wiczenia Zumby online z samokontrol膮 za pomoc膮 aplikacji na smartfony by艂y r贸wnie skuteczne jak spacery w zakresie poprawy sk艂adu cia艂a i postaw 偶ywieniowych kobiet z nadwag膮 i oty艂o艣ci膮

    Background. The aim of this study was to determine the Internet addiction level of university students and to investigate if there is an association between the Internet addiction and physical activity (PA). Material and methods. A total of 1419 participants studying at the Faculty of Sports Sciences (n=609) and the Faculty of Health Sciences (n=810) volunteered in the study and filled in the Personal Information Form. Data for the Internet addiction and PA level was collected by using Young鈥檚 Internet Addiction Scale and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), respectively. Results. According to the results of the study, the Internet addiction level of university students was mainly asymptomatic (90.3%), and only (9.7%) of all students showed limited symptoms. None of the students fell into the category of pathological Internet users in both faculties. The results revealed that 64.8% of the participants were found to be inactive, whereas only 35.2% of the students were physically active. According to the results, 92.3% of students who do high levels of PA were asymptomatic, and only 7.7% of them showed limited symptoms. Conclusions. Although it is believed that young adults use the Internet very actively and are prone to addiction, the results of the study showed that the rate of the Internet addiction symptoms in students is quite low, and none of the students suffer pathological symptoms of using the Internet.Wprowadzenie. Celem niniejszego badania by艂o okre艣lenie poziomu uzale偶nienia student贸w uczelni wy偶szych od Internetu i sprawdzenie, czy istnieje zwi膮zek mi臋dzy uzale偶nieniem od Internetu a aktywno艣ci膮 fizyczn膮 (AF). Materia艂 i metody. 艁膮cznie 1419 uczestnik贸w studiuj膮cych na Wydziale Nauk o Sporcie (n=609) i Wydziale Nauk o Zdrowiu (n=810) zg艂osi艂o si臋 do badania i wype艂ni艂o formularz danych osobowych. Dane dotycz膮ce uzale偶nienia od Internetu i poziomu AF zosta艂y zebrane za pomoc膮 Skali Uzale偶nienia od Internetu wg Kimberley Young i Mi臋dzynarodowego Kwestionariusza Aktywno艣ci Fizycznej (IPAQ). Wyniki. Zgodnie z wynikami badania poziom uzale偶nienia od Internetu w艣r贸d student贸w by艂 g艂贸wnie bezobjawowy (90,3%), i zaledwie (9,7%) wszystkich student贸w wykazywa艂o ograniczone objawy. 呕aden ze student贸w kt贸regokolwiek z wydzia艂贸w nie mie艣ci艂 si臋 w kategorii patologicznego u偶ytkowania Internetu. Wyniki pokaza艂y, 偶e 64,8% uczestnik贸w by艂o nieaktywnych fizycznie, podczas gdy zaledwie 35,2% student贸w by艂o aktywnych fizycznie. Zgodnie z wynikami, 92,3% student贸w, kt贸rzy wykazuj膮 wysoki poziom AF, nie mia艂o 偶adnych objaw贸w, a tylko 7,7% z nich wykazywa艂o ograniczone objawy. Wnioski. Chocia偶 uwa偶a si臋, 偶e m艂odzi doro艣li bardzo aktywnie korzystaj膮 z Internetu i s膮 podatni na uzale偶nienia, wyniki badania wykaza艂y, 偶e odsetek objaw贸w uzale偶nienia od Internetu w艣r贸d student贸w jest do艣膰 niski, a 偶aden ze student贸w nie cierpi na patologiczne objawy u偶ytkowania Internetu
