Physical Activity Level

This study aims to investigate the differences in cardiovascular stress response patterns among individuals with various physical activity levels (sedentary controls and different types of athletes). By synchronously monitoring ECG, heart rate, skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA), blood pressure, and cardiac output, the study will characterize physiological dynamics during resting, orthostatic challenge, cold pressor stress, and maximal exercise.

Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are a group of chronic respiratory diseases that cause significant mortality and morbidity worldwide. Although there are studies in the literature comparing different lung disease groups with healthy individuals, it has been determined that there is no study comparing the exercise capacity, muscle oxygenation, physical activity level, respiratory functions, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, inspiratory muscle endurance, quality of life and sleep quality of individuals diagnosed with ILD with healthy individuals.

In recent years, the level of physical activity among university students has been steadily decreasing, and young people are leading a sedentary lifestyle. The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the perspectives and attitudes towards physical activity of students from the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation department, who are expected to have awareness of physical activity due to their undergraduate education, with students from the Software Engineering department, who do not receive education on this subject. The study will also investigate how these perspectives and attitudes affect their level of physical activity and postural awareness.Software Engineering students and Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation department students between the ages of 20-25, studying in the 3rd and 4th grades at Fırat University, will be included in the study. A questionnaire regarding the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants, Physical Activity Attitude Scale, International Physical Activity Survey Short Form, Postural Awareness Scale Turkish Version will be used as data collection tools.
