Detailed Description:
Introduction The adolescent period is the phase of life characterized by the fastest growth and development marking the transition from childhood to adulthood During this time adolescents experience a sensitive period in which they complete their physical emotional cognitive sociocultural vocational and moral development It is crucial to establish healthy lifestyle behaviors during adolescence and to promote adolescent health for a healthy society
Health Promotion Health promotion is defined as the increase in the well-being of an individual or group and the realization of ones potential This process can be achieved in adolescents through self-regulation and transforming healthy lifestyle behaviors into permanent habits Healthy lifestyle behaviors include engaging in physical activity maintaining a healthy diet practicing safe sexual behaviors managing stress and avoiding harmful habits such as smoking alcohol and substance use
Importance of Physical Activity Physical activity among adolescents noticeably declines compared to earlier stages and continues to decrease with age into adulthood Physical activity has been shown to be an effective way to enhance mental health and well-being Individuals who are physically active exhibit lower levels of fatigue anxiety stress and depression along with greater vitality and well-being during both adolescence and adulthood
Adolescents who engage in physical activity tend to have an ideal body weight and shape exhibit more cheerful and positive peer interactions achieve higher academic success and demonstrate greater responsibility and independent decision-making skills Their self-confidence and self-esteem significantly increase during this process Planning Physical Activity Adolescents can perform physical activities that are appropriate for their age group and of their choosing in their daily lives However it is important to remember that the chosen activity should be planned regular continuous and of appropriate intensity Otherwise the positive effects of physical activity may not be realized and may not become permanent When physical activity does not transition into a regular and planned program or when the activity is abandoned the beneficial effects can quickly diminish
The key factor that distinguishes this study from others is its comprehensive examination of the effects of regular physical activity on late adolescents not only in terms of physical health but also regarding healthy lifestyle behaviors self-esteem and psychological well-being While other studies typically focus on the benefits of physical activity for physical health this research considers the broader psychological and social development of adolescents offering a wider perspective Additionally its emphasis on the sustainability of a planned and structured physical activity regimen along with its approach to transforming physical activity into a lifestyle represents a significant difference
Research Objective This study aims to determine the effects of regular physical activity on the healthy lifestyle behaviors self-esteem and psychological well-being of late adolescents In this context the goal is to better understand the impact of regular physical activity on adolescent health
Research Hypotheses H1 Does physical activity have an effect on healthy lifestyle behaviors H2 Does physical activity have an effect on self-esteem H3 Does physical activity have an effect on psychological well-being Method This study planned as an analytical interventional research will focus on students aged 18-21 from the Kahramanmaraş Sutcu Imam University School of Health Services Individuals who voluntarily participate meet the specified criteria and answer the questionnaire will constitute the sample of the study A simple random sampling method will be used for the sample selection
Research Flow The research will be conducted between 13 October 2024 and 03 January 2025 Expert opinions will be obtained for educational materials and physical activity methods Institutional permission will be secured and an informed consent form will be distributed to the students Participants who volunteer for the study will be assigned numbers and intervention and control group participants will be determined using simple random sampling Gender age and BMI Body Mass Index will be used as randomization criteria for the intervention and control groups Both groups will undergo a pre-test
Participants in the control group will continue their routine education while participants in the intervention group will first receive training on physical activity and its benefits followed by an 12-week physical activity program For the intervention group the first three weeks will involve moderate-intensity brisk walking and light jogging twice a week for 15-30 minutes followed by brisk walking and moderate jogging twice a week for 30 minutes in weeks 4 5 and 6 In the last six weeks the activities will include brisk walking and high-intensity jogging twice a week for 30-45 minutes At the end of the twelve weeks both the intervention and control groups will undergo a post-test
Inclusion Criteria for Participants Must be a student at Kahramanmaraş Sutcu Imam University School of Health Services Aged between 18-21 Must be willing to participate in the research Exclusion Criteria for Participants Incomplete questionnaire forms Failure to participate in at least one physical activity session Measured Variables Dependent Variables Scores from the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale Self-Esteem Scale and Psychological Well-Being Scale
Independent Variables Socio-demographic questions Statistical Analysis of the Research Sample Size Calculation Method Based on the power analysis conducted on students aged 18-21 who are willing to participate in the study two-tailed hypothesis 5 error margin 95 power 08 effect size a total of 84 participants 42 control 42 intervention will constitute the sample of the study
Descriptive Statistical Measures Count percentage mean standard deviation Normality Test andor Homogeneity of Variance Test The normality of the data will be evaluated using Skewness and Kurtosis 1 values and the Shapiro-Wilk normality test Homogeneity of variances will be assessed using Levenes test
Comparison Groups and Analytical Statistical Methods Data will be analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics Standard Concurrent User V 26 IBM Corp Armonk New York USA The normal distribution of numerical variables will be tested with the Shapiro-Wilk normality test Homogeneity of variances will be evaluated using Levenes test Independent samples t-test will be used for comparing BMI values between groups Fishers exact test will be used for comparing categorical variables between groups Pre-test and post-test scale scores will be compared using two-way ANOVA for repeated measures Bonferroni correction will be applied for the comparison of main effects in ANOVA A p-value of 005 will be considered statistically significant The content validity testing of educational materials will be conducted using the Lawshe method
