dc.description.abstractAim: To investigate the effect of summer on body composition, perceived stress and body awareness in young male and female university students. Material and Methods: A total of 130 students (77 females, 53 males) aged between 18 and 26 years without any health complaints participated in the study. Body composition, stress level, body awareness and physical activity level of the participants were evaluated before the summer season in May-June and after the summer season in September-October. Bioelectrical impedance analysis, perceived stress scale, body awareness questionnaire and international physical activity scale were used for these assessments, respectively. To analyse the data in the study, the Wilcoxon test, the Mann-Whitney U test and the Spearman correlation test were used. Results: Statistical analysis revealed a statistically significant decrease in perceived stress (<0.001; <0.001), basal metabolic rate (<0.001; 0.005) and cellular mass analyses (<0.001; 0.004) in women and men, respectively, when the values before and after the summer season were compared. Body awareness level (0.031) and physical activity level (0.034) were also statistically significantly increased in women. Conclusion: The results showed that body composition parameters, perceived stress, body awareness and physical activity levels may change after the summer season, especially in women.
