Brief Summary

The goal of this interventional study is to learn about 10-week "Physical Activity in Health Promotion" course on the physical activity habits of university students. The main question it aims to answer are:

• What is the effect of 10-week "Physical Activity in Health Promotion" course on the physical activity habits of university students in Ahi Evran University. Healthy participants will take elective courses named:
• Physical Activity in Health Promotion
• Waist and Neck Health
• Posture Disorders

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• International Physical Activity Questionnaire

  The IPAQ questionnaires list activities and request estimates of durations and frequencies for each activity engaged in over the past week. Durations are multiplied by known METs per activity and the results for all items are summed for the overall physical activity score. Scores for walking and for moderate and vigorous activities are sums of corresponding item scores.

  10 weeks

• Domain-Specific Physical Activity Efficacy Questionnaire (DSPAEQ)

  The DSPAEQ consists of 26 items and asks students how confident they are to engage in physical activity across five different domains \[ambulatory (6 items), household (5 items), leisure-time (6 items), transportation (3 items), and school (6 items)\]. Participants responded to each item using a 10-point scale ranging from 0% (not at all confident) to 100% (completely confident).
