Abstract:
Many authors have highlighted the need to know the patterns of PA among the population, in addition to the factors and reasons that lead an individual to begin to do PA and to keep it up or give it up. Numerous studies have demonstrated that regular PA is beneficial for body composition, psychological health, stress resistance, and bone health. However, the degree of all the above benefits varies significantly depending on the level of physical activity of the individual, age group, population type, as well as the intensity of various physical activities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of physical activity level on some parameters of physical health. We applied the Multiscan BS_OXI instrument to measure the indicators of physical health. The assessment of the level of physical activity was carried out in accordance with the monitoring programs used in the field of fitness testing. According to the received data, the highest score in the group of high physical activity was assigned to body composition (91.19±6.6) and in the moderate and low physical activity groups wellness score was the 84.31±5.7 and 81.95±5.5 accordingly).We conclude that the average indicators of physical health parameters are different in groups with different levels of physical activity. Hwever, the average index of stress resistance was the lowest in all three groups.
