“…lower gait speed, shorter strides, and increased step width) (4,(9)(10)(11), and a significantly higher metabolic cost of walking compared to people with normal body weight (12,13). Obesity also negatively affects balance control (6,14). Greve et al (6), for example, showed that increased body weight produces antero-posterior instability in both sexes, and medio-lateral destabilization in males.…”

Objective: To assess the relationships between BMI and walking speed, balance control, sit-to-stand performance (a measure of mass specific lower limb power), and endurance. Design and Methods: Thirty-six women with a BMI 30 kg/m 2 and 10 women with normal body weight (BMI between 18 kg/m 2 and 25 kg/m 2 ) were enrolled in this observational study. The obese group comprised 12 persons with a BMI 30 and <35 (obese), 14 subjects with a BMI 35 and <40 (severe obesity) and 10 people with a BMI 40 kg/m 2 (morbid obesity). All subjects underwent a clinical examination, a gait test, an endurance test (6 minutes walking test), a mass specific lower limb power test (five times sit-to-stand) and a balance test. Results: Obese women exhibited slower fast gait speeds (P < 0.05) with correspondingly shorter stride lengths, poorer sit-to-stand performance (P < 0.05), and endurance (P < 0.05). However, once the state of severe obesity was reached, additional weight gain (morbid obesity) does not seem to decrease these functional capacities any further.Conclusion: This study underlines the importance of assessing obese patients' related physical problems in an early stage of obesity in order to focus exercise regimens and promote appropriate health behaviors.

“…Bu koşullara instabilite ve daha yüksek BKİ değerleri (>40 kg/m 2 ) olan katılımcılar eklenirse denge olumsuz etkilenmektedir. 27,31,32 BKİ ile denge arasında ilişki bulunmama sebebinin, çalışmada kullandığı-mız değerlendirme yönteminin hareketsiz zeminde yapılan bir test olan Y denge testi olması, testin orijinal Y denge platformu kullanılmadan yapılmış olması ve katılımcıların normal BKİ değerlerine sahip bireylerden oluşmasından kaynaklandığı düşünül-mektedir.…”

Ö ÖZ ZE ET T A Am ma aç ç: : Üniversite öğrencileri son yıllarda artan sedanter yaşam tarzları nedeni ile vücut kompozisyonlarına yeteri kadar özen göstermemektedirler. Bu nedenle çalışmamız, üniversite öğrenci-lerinde vücut kompozisyonu ile fiziksel aktivite, denge ve destekleyici faktörler arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla planlandı. G Ge er re eç ç v ve e Y Yö ön nt te em ml le er r: : Çalışmaya, yaş aralığı 18-25 yıl olan 132 (74 kadın, 58 erkek) genç erişkin öğrenci dâhil edildi. Vücut kompozisyonu ölçümü Tanita BC-418 vücut analiz cihazı ile yapıldı. Fiziksel aktivite düzeyinin değerlendirilmesi için Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi (UFAA)'nin kısa formu, dinamik denge için Y denge testi ve destekleyici faktörler için Depresyon, Anksiyete, Stres Ölçeği kullanıldı. Elde edilen veriler uygun istatistiksel yöntemlerle karşılaştırıldı. B Bu ul lg gu ul la ar r: : Beden kitle indeksi (BKİ) değerleri ile fiziksel aktivite ve Y denge testi parametreleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki olmadığı saptandı. Katılımcıla-rın toplam ve alt ekstremite kas oranı ile fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri ve Y denge testi parametreleri arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişki belirlenirken, yağ oranı arasında negatif yönde anlamlı ilişki olduğu saptandı. BKİ ile anksiyete arasında önemsiz derecede zayıf bir ilişki belirlenirken, diğer destekleyici faktörler arasında anlamlı bir ilişki gözlenmedi. S So on nu uç ç: : Vücutta kas oranındaki artış fiziksel aktivite ve denge üzerinde olumlu sonuçlar gösterirken, yağ oranındaki artış olumsuz sonuçlar meydana getirmiştir. Bu yüzden, üniversite öğrencileri ideal vücut kompozisyonlarını kazanmalıdırlar. Bunun için fiziksel aktivite, düzenli ve ömür boyu sürdürülen bir alışkanlık haline getirilmelidir.A An na ah ht ta ar r K Ke el li im me el le er r: : Vücut bileşimi; motor aktivite; postural denge; öğrenciler A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : University students have not taken care sufficiently to their body composition because of sedentary lifestyles in recent years. Thus, our study was planned out to investigate the relationship between body composition and physical activity, balance and supporting factors in university students. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : One hundred thirty two young adult university students (74 female, 58 male) aged between 18-25 years were included in this study. Body composition measurement was performed with Tanita BC-418 body analyzer device. The short form of International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) for assessing the level of physical activity, Y balance test for dynamic balance, and Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale for supportive factors were used. The obtained data were compared with appropriate statistical methods. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : It was determined that there was no statistically significant relationship between body mass index (BMI) values and physical activity and Y balance test parameters. A significant positive relationship was detected between participants' tota...

“…Adaptive shortening is often considered with functional overuse. Muscles maintained in a shortened position lose sarcomeres and become weak and infiltrated with [26,27] who were obese or extremely obese, and in all of these populations, body mass influenced postural stability. Shimokata et al [28] found that changes in waist and hip circumferences correlated directly with changes in weight, hence significant increase in waist and hip circumference of females with posterior balance is mainly contributing to the total body weight.…”

Background and purpose: Associations of a positive sagittal postural imbalance with pain, physical disability and reduced health-related quality of life have emerged as the predictor of clinical symptoms. Limits of postural stability in sagittal standing are set by mechanical factors that include both individual and environmental characteristics. The variability of individual anthropometric characteristics and body dimensions may be considered to affect the selection of motor strategies that people use to maintain standing balance control. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the association of anthropometric characteristics with static sagittal postural balance strategy in healthy young adults Methodology: Total of 239 healthy under graduate collegiate students aged 18-25 years were randomly screened. Individual's anthropometric characteristics were measured in accordance with ISAK standards. The Indices of BMI (Kg/m 2 ), upper body height to lower body height ratio (UBH/LBH ratio); waist to hip circumference ratio (WC/HC ratio); bi-acromial to bi-iliocristal width ratio (BA/BI ratio) were calculated. Static sagittal postural Balance strategy (Anterior; neutral; posterior) was analyzed using lateral postural analysis. Individual anthropometric characteristics were compared among the three types of sagittal postural balance strategy. Results: Gender specific analysis revealed that the anthropometric characteristics like weight (WT); BMI; WC; HC and BI in females are significantly associated with the shift of neutral balance strategy towards the sagittal posterior direction whereas anterior strategy, being most prevalent in both the genders is not associated with any anthropometric characteristics. Conclusions: Higher BMI; weight; biacromial width (BA); waist (WC) and hip circumference (HC) were the significant determinants of sagittal posterior balance strategy among female adults. We suggest that assessment of an individuals anthropometric characteristics and adopted sagittal standing postural strategy in clinical set up can improve the insight in designing the therapeutic strategies by directing the intervention approach towards the modifiable body characteristics.
