Abstract:The purpose of the present study was to determine the relationship between healthy lifestyle behaviors, physical fitness, and coronary risk factors in university students. 320 male and female (n m : 171; n f : 149, respectively) students from a university participated in this study voluntarily. For the determination of body composition and Body Mass Indexes (BMI), subjects' height, body weight, and skinfold thickness were taken and body fat percentage (% fat) was determined. Healthy lifestyle behaviors were determined using the healthy lifestyle behaviors questionnaire. Indicators of physical fitness included flexibility (sit-up) (F), muscle strength and endurance (isometric knee (KS), back strength (BS) and a total of shuttle (TS), sprint performance, BMI, and body fat percentage (% fat). Coronary heart disease risk factors included mean arterial blood pressure (systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP)), fasting blood levels of triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), hematocrit (HCT), and hemoglobin (HGB). Results indicated subjects have normal body mass index, body fat percentage, SBP, DBP, TG, TCF, BS, and KS. The results of the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Analysis, indicated that SBP, DBP, TG, TCF, BS, and KS for male and female was significantly correlated with flexibility (sit-up) (F), muscle strength and endurance (isometric knee (KS), back strength (BS) and total of shuttle (TS)), sprint performance. (p < 0.01; p < 0.05), In conclusion, the findings of the present study indicated that physical fitness and healthy lifestyle behaviors play a determinant role in coronary heart disease risk factors for male and female students from a university.

Bu araştırma eğitimin etkili, verimli ve vazgeçilmez bir parçası olan beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenlerinin sorunları ve bu sorunların öğretmen performansı üzerine etkilerini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmada öncelikle eğitim, beden eğitimi ve beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenlerinin görevleri ile ilgili teorik kaynak taraması yapılmış ve daha sonra Sakarya ilinde 2006-2007 eğitim öğretim yılında görev yapan beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenlerine uygulanan anketten elde edilen bilgiler değerlendirilmiştir. Uygulanan anket kişisel bilgiler ve sorunlara katılma ile etkilenme derecelerini belirleyen iki bölümden oluşmuştur. Ankete toplam 127 beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmeni doğru ve değerlendirilebilir cevap vermiştir. Yapılan istatistiksel çözümlemelerde anlamlılık düzeyi 0,05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenlerinin sorunlara katılma algılarında cinsiyetleri arasında anlamlı bir farklılık gözlenmemiştir. Beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenlerinin mesleki sorunlar, tesis ve ders kaynakları, okul ve aile ile ilgili sorunlarına katılma düzeylerinde anlamlılık görülmüş ve performanslarının etkilendiği belirlenmiştir.

The population of the study consists of 42 physical education and sport teachers who work in the city Bayburt. Sampling has not been used as the whole population is included. The chapter in which the perceptions of teachers have been evaluated is used from The Scale of Perception and Expectation Identification Concerning Teacher Leadership which was developed by Beycioğlu (2009) to identify the perceptions of physical education and sport teachers concerning teacher leadership. According to the test of analysis of independent sample t-test, it is identified that female teachers have higher averages than male teachers at institutional development subscale and scale total point. Furthermore, it is found that physical education and sport teachers who have a less than 10 years experience have higher averages compared to those who have a more than 10 years experience at institutional development, professional development, collaboration among colleagues&rsquo; subscales and scale total point (p &lt; .05). As a result, it can be stated that physical education and sport teachers who have a less than 10 years experience take part more in performing studies that are based on collaboration, creating an impact on the students and colleagues with model behavior and performing executive activities as compared to teachers who have 10 years and more experience.
