Abstract
The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between the physical activity levels of individuals and their mental well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic process. A total of 310 people, 131 women (42.3%) and 179 men (57.7%), aged 19-65 years, with different levels of physical activity, participated in the study. The individuals participating in the research were determined by the sampling method. In the collection of data; The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ-Global Physical Activity Questionnaire) were used. The analysis of the data was done with the SSPS 25 package program. The normality test was done with Kolmogorow-Smirnov and Shapiro Wilk tests and parametric tests were applied when the distribution was found to be normal. The significance level of all evaluations was determined as p<0.05. As a result of the findings obtained from the research, during the Covid 19 epidemic, individuals with high physical activity levels had high mental well-being levels, and individuals with low physical activity (FA) levels had low mental well-being levels. According to the gender variable, it was determined that men's mental well-being levels were higher than women's. According to these results, it was seen that there was a positive correlation between physical activity and mental well-being. As a result; During the Covid-19 epidemic, it was determined that individuals with high physical activity levels had higher mental well-being than individuals with low physical activity levels.
