Summer Outdoor Activities and Their Effects on Health Status in Physical Education Students: Gender Differences | Chapter 1 | Recent Updates in Disease and Health Research Vol. 3

The study aimed to assess Physical Education (PE) students concerning basic anthropometry, body composition, and health status as potential cardiovascular risk factors. The authors understand the vital influence of these segments on the anthropological status in undertaking the preparation problems for the PE study's success. During their studies in higher education, one of the main tasks of PE students is to strengthen and improve their health and continue developing their abilities and competencies for future professions as elementary and secondary PE teachers. They need to be good profile models for behavior to promote a healthy lifestyle among children. Young adults who enter the university fall under the influence of specific factors associated with the need to creatively assimilate large amounts of information due to the necessity of forming professional skills and abilities in unique conditions of students' lives. This study was realized within a sample of thirty-seven (37) PE first-study year students (F=7, M=30) during Summer Outdoor Activities at Gazivoda Lake in Kosovo. PE students have to meet and understand that the system of functional physical training has two mutually caused aspects– pedagogical/educational and social/recreational, which suggests the modern physical culture is a holistic (socio-educational) system that actual students do not have experience in former education. The authors evaluated the study data with descriptive statistics and univariate analysis and presented it as tables and graphs.
