Evaluating the effects of physical activity on the health and well-being of adults

Abstract

This dissertation investigates how physical activity affects adults’ health and well-being. The study aims to assess the correlation between physical activity levels and several health-related factors, such as mental health, overall quality of life, and health perception. A cross-sectional, quantitative design was used on a random sample of participants aged 18 to 60. These latter participants complete an online questionnaire, which evaluates health views, well-being, goal setting, motivational factors, obstacles to physical activity, social support, and physical activity habits. The researcher analysed responses from 40 to 50 participants using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) software and applied descriptive and inferential statistical techniques, such as t-test and Pearson correlation.
