Assessment of Physical Activity Awareness Training in Healthy Young Adults

Assessment of Physical Activity Awareness Training in Healthy Young Adults

According to the World Health Organization, physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure. Positive effects of leading a physically active life and exercise have been shown in many areas ranging from diabetes to cardiovascular diseases, cancer to mortality, pain to autoimmunity .

Despite the many proven benefits of regular aerobic exercise, physical inactivity remains an important public health problem. In young adults, the perception that exercise is not fun and lack of time for exercise have led to a decrease in physical activity participation . However, studies in the literature have reported that after first creating awareness in individuals about the effects of physical activity on health, creating the necessary time for exercises provides sufficient motivation for individuals to start and continue a more active life.
