Correlation between stress level and physical activity index

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to investigate the correlation between stress level and physical activity index at students aged 19 to 26.
Methods: the study enclosed a sample of 90 students from the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy in Targu-Mures and aimed to evaluate, based on two questionnaires, the stress level and physical activity level.
The study results show that stress level is indirectly proportional to physical activity level, which can have multiple negative influences on the subjects’ physical and intellectual performances.
Conclusions: systematic practicing of physical activities has to be an essential and constant preoccupation in combating multiple stress factors, which the young student generation is confronted with, this influencing the psychic, intellectual and physical aspects of life, directly and negatively.
