Аннотация: Despite the ongoing successes in utilizing physical education and health technologies to address physique disorders arising from an accumulation of excess adipose tissue, the imperative to further investigate preventive measures against such metabolic disorders in the adult population remains pertinent. Research aim: To identify adПоказать полностьюditional risk factors influencing the development of excess body weight and obesity among individuals in the Republic of Kazakhstan, considering varying levels of weekly physical activity. Materials and methods. This research project was conducted at medical clinics in the city of Semey (Republic of Kazakhstan), involving the participation of 299 individuals, comprising 86 men (28.8%) and 213 women (71.2%), with an average age of 34.9 years. An anthropometric examination was performed, measuring length (cm) and body weight (kg) to calculate body mass index (BMI). Each participant in the study answered questions in a questionnaire that contained information about gender, education, profession, and social and living conditions. Responses to each question were assessed within a range of five answer options on a Likert scale. According to the level of weekly physical activity, all respondents were divided into two groups. The first group included respondents who had moderate weekly physical activity of more than 150 minutes per week or intense physical activity of at least 75 minutes per week. The second group included respondents whose weekly moderate or intense physical activity was less than 150 or 75 minutes per week, respectively. Results. A normal body mass index value was found in 52.5% of respondents. Insufficient weight was noted in 7.35%. Excess body weight - in 23.41% of surveyed respondents and obesity - in 16.72%. Most often, overweight and obesity are registered at the age of 42-49 years, as well as in the group of respondents over 50 years old. This allows us to classify them as a risk group for metabolic disorders in the body. Overweight and obesity were more often recorded in the group of women with low weekly physical activity (≤150 min per week). With physical inactivity, women can be considered at risk for overweight and obesity. Of all the respondents, the greatest satisfaction with physical activity was recorded in the group of respondents with a normal body mass index (47.1%). In the group of respondents with overweight or obesity, the minimum number of people who are satisfied with their physical activity was found. Respondents with normal weight in most cases prefer to engage in physical activity every day or 1-3 times a week. Respondents with overweight or obesity engage in physical activity mainly once a month or not at all. Conclusions. When organizing physical education and recreational activities to correct body weight, it is necessary to take into account the identified age and gender characteristics of risk groups of people with excess body weight and obesity and their relationship with the level of physical activity.
