ÖZET
 Amaç: Gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan birçok ülkede başta çocuklar olmak üzere toplumun tüm kesimi gelişen teknolojiye ayak uydurmuştur. Bu durum, beraberinde yetersiz fiziksel aktivite ve yetersiz fiziksel uygunluğa sahip çocuk, adölesan ve erişkin toplumunun gelişmesine neden olmaktadır. Ayrıca, çağımızın hastalığı hâline gelen obezite başta olmak üzere birçok hastalığa yakalanma riskini artırmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, özel ve devlet ilköğretim okullarında öğrenim gören 4. ve 5. sınıf öğrencilerin fiziksel uygunluk parametrelerini (Eurofit Test Bataryası) ve postür gelişimlerini değerlendirmek ve okullar arası karşılaştırmalarını yapmaktı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmaya özel ve devlet ilköğretim okullarında öğrenim gören, yaş aralığı 9-11 yıl olan 4. ve 5. sınıf öğrencilerinden 366 kişi dâhil edildi. Öğrencilerin 300'ü devlet ilköğretim okullarından, 66'sı ise özel ilköğretim okullarından randomize olarak seçildi. Çalışmaya dâhil edilen öğrencilerin demografik bilgileri kaydedilip, fiziksel uygunluklarının değerlendirilmesi için 'Eurofit Test Bataryası', postür değerlendirilmesi için 'New York Postür Değerlendirme Ölçeği' kullanıldı. Bulgular: Eurofit Test Bataryasına göre; özel okullarda öğrenim gören öğrencilerde esneklik, el hızı, kardiyovasküler dayanıklılık, patlayıcı güç ve postür değerlendirme sonuçları devlet okulunda öğrenim gören öğrencilerden daha iyi bulundu (p<0,05, sırası ile p=0,04, p=0,00, p=0,00, p=0,00 ve p=0,00 %95 güven aralığında). Öğrencilerin yaşam kalitesi sonuçları karşılaştırıldığında okullar arasında fark bulunmadı (p>0,05). Sonuç: Çalışmanın sonuçları, özel okullarda öğrenim gören öğrencilerin fiziksel uygunluğunun ve postürlerinin devlet okullarında öğrenim gören öğrencilerden daha iyi olduğunu göstermekte idi.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: In many developed and developing countries, almost all parts of society, especially children, keep up with the developing technology. This situation leads to inadequate physical activity and thereby a society composed of children, adolescents, and adults with poor physical fitness. Moreover, it increases the risk of obesity which has become a modern day disease and, various other diseases. The aim of the study was to evaluate physical fitness parameters (Eurofit Test Battery) and posture developments of 4th and 5th grade students in private and state primary schools and to make comparisons between schools. Material and Methods: 366 students which were 4th and 5th grade aged between 9-11 years, studying at private and state primary schools were included in this study. 300 students were randomly selected from state primary schools and 66 were selected from private primary schools. Demographic information of students were recorded, 'Eurofit Test Battery' for evaluation of physical fitness and 'New York Posture Analysis Scale' for evaluation of posture were used. Results: According to Eurofit Test Battery; flexibility, hand speed, cardiovascular endurance, explosive power, and posture evaluation scores of private school students were better than state school students respectively; (p<0.05, p=0.04, p=0.00, p=0.00, p=0.00, and p=0.00 95% confidence interval). No difference was found in comparing the quality of life results of two different schools' students. (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of the study showed that physical fitness and postures of students studying in private schools are better than students studying in public schools.
