Abstract:

This study aimed at reporting the conditions of physical activity (FA) of young adults during the COVID-19 epidemic and public health restrictions in Turkey, researching the impact of FA on the quality of life. Individuals were included in the work through demographic information, FA, online surveys and social media announcement, which consisted of quality of life departments, during the strictest public health restrictions. The highest percentage among individuals was in inactive individuals, followed by minimal active and sufficiently active individuals. According to FA levels, the quality of life was varied in terms of the psychological field (PA); in minimal active individuals, the PA was high compared to inactive individuals and the FA was effective on the PA. It was considered necessary for governments to encourage the people to FA in their harsh processes, to advise health professionals to increase FA, to guide them to start and continue exercising, especially for the protection of mental health. The process was not time to do excessive exercise; it was determined that doing a medium level of activity to maintain mental well-being would be more beneficial for the quality of life.
