However, it is known that a sedentary lifestyle causes inactivity, and this leads to significant health problems. The aim of this study is to examine the physical activity levels and quality of life of school administrators, taking into account their demographic characteristics. A total of 110 school administrators 62 male and 48 female, working in Alanya district of Antalya city, participated in the study. The short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to determine the physical activity levels of the participants, while the Quality of Life SF-36 scale assessed their quality of life. Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. In the study, it was determined that the total physical activity score of the participants was 1772.3864±1465.67654 MET-min/week, and 60% of their physical activity levels were moderate. In addition, when the participants were compared based on demographic information, it was observed that physical activity levels differed only by gender (p <0.05), while no statistically significant difference was found in other variables (p>0.05). When the demographic information of the participants was compared by gender, marital status, age, and weight status, it was found that there was a statistically significant difference in the sub-dimensions of quality of life (p <0.05), while no significant difference was found in other variables (p>0.05). In addition, a significant positive correlation was found between the participants’ total physical activity scores and quality of life scores (p <0.05). As a result, the physical activity levels of school administrators are at a medium level, and as their physical activity levels increase, their quality of life increases.}, number={2}, publisher={Yozgat Bozok Üniversitesi}
