Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in nutrition and exercise behavior scale scorebaseline to 3 monthsThe Nutrition and Exercise Behavior Scale (NEBS) is a five-point Likert-type scale consisting of 45 items and four sub-factors. Scale scores are evaluated in line with the scores obtained from the scale sub-dimensions. The score distribution of Psychological/addictive eating behavior sub-factor is between 11-55. A high score indicates psychological/addictive eating behavior. The score distribution of Healthy nutrition-exercise behavior sub-factor is between 14-70. A high score indicates healthy eating and exercise behavior. The score distribution of unhealthy nutrition exercise behavior sub-factor is between 14-70. A high score indicates unhealthy eating and exercise behavior. The meal order sub-factor score distribution is between 6-30. A high score indicates good meal order.
Change in adolescent sedentary actıvıty timebaseline to 3 monthsThe original Adolescent Sedentary Actıvıty Questionnaire (ASAQ) has 11 questions for weekdays and 12 questions for weekends. ASAAQ covers pre-school and after-school time for each weekday, and all hours of the day for weekend days. The ASAA adapted into Turkish includes the time spent for 10 different SAs. Thus, the time spent for sedentary activities all week, weekdays and weekends can be calculated. In this context, the time spent in each activity category can be calculated. With ASAQ, sedentary activity times can be calculated for weekdays, weekends and the whole week in five sedentary activity categories.
