Materials and Methods: The sample of the research consisted of 155 students who could be reached during the period of<br>the research and was willing to participate in the research based on volunteering principle. “Student presentation form,” “international<br>physical activity assessment questionnaire short form,” and “healthy lifestyle behavior scale” were used in the collection of research<br>data. In the evaluation of the data, number, percentage, mean and standard deviation, independent t-test, and Pearson correlation<br>analysis were used. Results: The mean score of healthy lifestyle behaviors scale of the students was found to be 123.83 ± 18.23<br>(minimum: 86, maximum: 177), scale sub-dimension mean scores were calculated, respectively, as self-realization sub-dimension<br>was 37.31 ± 6.38, health responsibility subscale was 21.60 ± 5.58, exercise sub-dimension was 10.14 ± 3.28, interpersonal support<br>subscale was 20.65 ± 3.69, and stress management sub-dimension was 18.79 ± 4.20. The total score average of the physical activity<br>level of the students included in the survey was 2474.34 metabolic equivalent task-min/hf, and it was determined that the students<br>were in the minimum active group in terms of total physical activity level. A statistically significant correlation was found between<br>the total mean score of the healthy lifestyle behavior scale and international physical activity evaluation questionnaire short form<br>total mean score (P < 0.05). Conclusion: As a result of this research, university students were found to be in the minimum active<br>group in terms of physical activity level, and healthy lifestyle behaviors were found to be moderate.<br><br></p>}, number={4}, journal={Asian Pacific Journal of Health Sciences}, author={Dilek Yılmaz and Kemal Yılmaz and Gülşen Goncagül}, year={2017}, month={Dec.}, pages={30–33} }
