How Does Physical Activity Affect the Quality of Life of University Students?
Öz
The concept of quality of life is multifaceted, encompassing various dimensions, including physical health, social relationships, and psychological well-being. Physical activity level is one of the factors that affects quality of life. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between physical activity levels and quality of life perceptions among young people. The study sample consisted of 360 students, 102 males and 258 females, enrolled at XXX University during the 2023-2024 academic year. The data were collected using a cross-sectional design, with the participants completing the Physical Activity Scale-2, SF-12 Quality of Life Scale, and a personal information form. The data were collected based on self-report. The statistical analyses revealed a significant relationship between moderate and high physical activity levels and both physical and mental health components of quality of life (p <0.05). Additionally, gender differences were observed, indicating that males exhibited higher physical activity and quality of life scores compared to females (p <0.05). The findings indicate that it may be beneficial to promote physical activity to enhance general well-being among young people. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of considering gender as a variable in the perception of physical activity levels and quality of life. Overall, the results suggest that interventions to increase physical activity levels may be an effective approach to improve the quality of life of young people. It is crucial to consider the gender factor in the planning of these strategies.
