Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: In our study, university students who coded the course from various faculties and departments within the scope of a university-wide free elective course, after regular physical activity; It was aimed to examine the effects on lifelong learning, physical activity, fatigue, sleepiness, depression, anxiety and stress levels, quality of life and walking distances and physiological expenditure indices.

Detailed description: Physical activity; They are body movements made using skeletal muscles in daily life and resulting in energy expenditure. In addition to daily living activities such as playing games, doing housework, walking, eating, and bathing, exercise and sports are also included in this definition. Physical activity is very important for a healthy life. Studies have reported that continuing physical activity, especially during growth and young adulthood, has positive effects on aerobic capacity, blood pressure, body composition, glucose metabolism, skeletal health and psychological health. Studies have reported that physical activity affects social and personal success in healthy adult individuals and is associated with sleep quality and depression. In this context, our work; After regular physical activity, university students who code the course from various faculties and departments within the scope of the university-wide free elective course; It was aimed to examine the effects on lifelong learning, physical activity, fatigue, sleepiness, depression, anxiety and stress levels, quality of life and walking distances and physiological expenditure indices.

Hypotheses of the study;

* Regular physical activity improves lifelong learning tendencies in university students.
* Regular physical activity increases the level of physical activity in university students.
* Regular physical activity reduces fatigue levels in university students.
* Regular physical activity reduces daytime sleepiness in university students.
* Regular physical activity improves depression, anxiety and stress levels in university students.
* Regular physical activity improves the quality of life in university students.
* Regular physical activity improves functional capacity and increases walking distance in university students.
* Regular physical activity reduces the physiological expenditure index in university students.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Students who choose the course offered within the scope of university-wide elective courses
* No obstacle to aerobic exercise
* No chronic disease
* Individuals who have no history of surgery on the lower extremity in the last 6 months

Exclusion Criteria:

- Individuals who do not volunteer to participate in the study
