Detailed Description:
A healthy lifestyle must include physical activity, especially for university students. There is now substantial data supporting the numerous physical, psychological, aesthetic, and social advantages of frequent engagement in physical activities. A number of illnesses and ailments, such as coronary artery disease, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, colon cancer, breast cancer, and overweight and obesity are all made less likely by regular physical activity. Numerous research in the area have documented a tendency toward less physical activity among adults, adolescents, and children in various civilizations. The level of physical activity among university students was found to be relatively low during the pandemic, and this process also had a detrimental impact on the students' levels of depression and quality of life. Walking, moderate, vigorous, and overall physical activity levels have decreased among university students from many nations who have been quarantined due to the COVID-19 epidemic.
One of the most popular teaching methods in medical school is the lecture course, which has the benefit of allowing for the dissemination of knowledge to a large number of students and has the potential to be effective in conveying factual information. Whether or not it is successful, lecturing is still the most popular teaching style since it is affordable and useful, especially when there are many students and few resources. Physical education provides cognitive content and instruction designed to develop motor skills, knowledge, and behaviors for physical activity and physical fitness. Supporting schools to establish physical education can provide students with the ability and confidence to be physically active for a lifetime. However, the number of studies investigating the effects of physical activity classes or physical activity education on students' physical activity habits is very low in the literature.
The "Physical activity for the health promotion" course given at Ahi Evran University was added to the curriculum in order to increase the physical activity knowledge and levels of university students. The course was a common elective course open to all university students except the physiotherapy and rehabilitation department. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the "Physical Activity in Health Promotion" course on the physical activity levels of university students. For this purpose, our hypothesis is: "Physical activity for the promotion of health" course will change the physical activity habits of university students.
