| Popis | The aim of this paper was to assess selected indicators of obesity according to the amount of performed physical activity in the adult population of Czech men and women. As basic indicators of obesity, these following parameters were selected and measured via the bioimpedance method on the device InBody 720: BMI (body mass index), WHR (waist-to-hip ratio), PBF (% body fat). The measurements on the device InBody 720 and the accompanying survey were conducted between 2011- 2013 in different regions of the Czech Republic. The sample consisted of 686 women and 591 men. At first, the tested men and women were asked to estimate the amount of performed moderate and vigorous physical activity during the last seven days. Based on the responses, we subsequently divided our sample into five categories. The results show that in men and women from our sample, the average values of selected indicators of obesity vary depending on the amount of performed physical activity. The values of BMI, WHR and PBF decrease with the increasing time devoted to vigorous and moderate physical activity (p <0.05). The research was realized within the project CZ.1.07/2.3.00/20.0044. |
