摘要：In the past few decades, a great deal of attention has been focused on the relationships between body weight, physical activity, hypertension, eating habits and behavior. Recently, obesity and hypertension prevalence has increased significantly. The purpose of this study was to compare body fat and blood pressure between male physical education students and non-physical education major male students of the University of Guilan in Iran. The target population consisted entirely of male students of the University of Guilan. Among them, there were 160 male physical education students and 170 non-physical education major male students, with a mean age of 23.1±3.9 and 22.4±1.1 years, height 175.6±4.3 and 169.4±4.2 cm, weight 67.3±2.4 and 78.3±3.26 kg and body mass index 21.9±1.8 and 27.3±5.7 kg/m2 respectively. The SPSW statistical software (version 18) was used to analyze the descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), the t–test and the Pearson correlation coefficient. The results show that the waist-hip ratio (WHR), blood pressure (SBP and DBP) and relative fat among non-physical education major students had higher values than physical education students. In addition, there were significant differences between these two groups of students (p<0.05). In the study, the results showed that a low level of physical activity enables the prevalence obesity, overweight, and hypertension in non-physical education major students. Therefore, an increase in the physical activity level and improving nutrition education programs for non-athletes could be an effective way of decreasing obesity, overweight and hypertension in non-physical education students.
