“…Similar to the result of our study, many studies have shown that depression levels are associated with physical activity (Xiang et al 2020;Luo et al 2022;Coughenour et al 2021). Also, there is a relationship between depression level and the sleep quality of individuals (Iyigun et al 2017;Ozkan et al 2015). It increases selfconfidence in individuals thanks to both the physical and mental benefits that physical activity provides.…”

University years are one of the critical periods for physical activity, which has physical, mental, and social benefits in every period of life, to become a habit in adulthood. This study aimed to understand how the posture, depression, and sleep quality levels of university students with different physical activity levels are affected and to emphasize the importance of interventions that increase physical activity levels. Our study included 366 students from Ankara Medipol University who were studying in 2022-2023 and agreed to participate in our study. Postures of students; with Posture Screen Mobile, physical activity levels; with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), depression levels; with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Sleep quality; with the Sleep Quality Scale and Sleep Variables Questionnaire (SQS-SVS) were evaluated. According to the results obtained from the study, when the beck depression inventory scores of the students were compared according to their physical activity levels, there was a difference in favor of the physically active group (p0.05). No difference was observed between the groups when the posture disorders were compared according to the student's physical activity levels (p>0.05). As a result, When university students were classified according to different physical activity levels, it was determined that sleep quality and posture disorders did not change, while depression levels were positively affected as activity levels increased. As well as directing students to physical activities, evaluating their posture and directing them to necessary activities is essential.

“…The findings of the current study revealed that the HPLP-II total score of the athlete university students was moderate (130.41 ± 22.93), the highest healthy lifestyle behaviors were spiritual growth and interpersonal relationships, and the lowest behaviors were health responsibility and nutrition. Previous studies in the literature show that Turkish athlete university students had moderate HPLP-II scores, that the highest scores were spiritual growth/self-actualization, interpersonal relationships, and the lowest scores were physical activity, stress management, and nutrition (55,56). In addition, this study also revealed a lowlevel negative correlation between HPLP-II total, physical activity, spiritual growth, interpersonal relationships, stress management scores, and depression scores of the participants.…”

IntroductionMental health research exists for university students in the areas of prevalence and association of depression, internet addiction and healthy lifestyle behaviors. However, the studies examining prevalence rates and these relationships in athlete university students are needed. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between depression, healthy lifestyle behaviors and internet addiction among athlete university students in Turkey.MethodsA cross-sectional design was conducted, measuring depression using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, healthy lifestyle behaviors (HPLP-II), and internet addiction (YIAT-SF). Predictive factors associated with depressive symptoms were estimated using binary logistic regression.ResultsOf the 501 participants, 61.3% were male, with a mean age of 21.45 years (SD: 3.19). Student-athletes were at risk of depressive symptoms (76.4%), internet addiction (34.4%) and had moderate healthy lifestyle behaviors (130.41 ± 22.93). No significant differences were found for age, smoking, time spent on social network, number of sports days, number of social networks use for depressive symptoms (p > 0.05), however significant differences were found for depressive symptoms by sex and living with family status (p < 0.05). Pathological internet addiction (OR: 12.74, 95% CI: 2.91–55.77) and low spiritual growth (OR: 0.854, 95% CI: 0.79–0.92) were found to be predictors of depressive symptoms within the athlete university students (p < 0.001).ConclusionThe athlete university students are at increased risk for depressive symptoms and internet addiction and decreased healthy lifestyle behaviors. It is essential to establish programs to improve the mental health of students in universities and to strengthen the psychological counseling services offered to students. These findings can assist universities in establishing effective measures to improve mental health outcomes.

The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly changed everyday life of social actors, which inferred mental health and well-being concerns. As students of health-related studies tend to adapt better to difficult circumstances, in this study, we explored the effect of the pandemic on sports science students’ well-being during the summer of 2022. The research was conducted in Slovenia and Serbia. The sample comprised n = 350 students. The PERMA-Profiler, a 15-item self-reported questionnaire, was adapted to assess well-being across five elements: positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment. Data were collected with a questionnaire through the summer of 2022 (from May to July) and analyzed in SPSS, AMOS 26.0. The results revealed normal functioning (M = 7.72, SD ± 1.38) for the overall well-being of the students. Although all dimensions indicated high scores, relationships (M = 7.95, SD ± 1.63), meaning (M = 7.76, SD ± 1.69), and engagement (M = 7.73, SD ± 1.36) rated the highest. Furthermore, the instrument was acceptable, as the confirmatory factor analysis showed adequate reliability based on Cronbach's alpha (15 items, α = 0.94) and strong internal correlations between the PERMA dimensions. This study contributes to the previously published research, emphasizing the positive responses and successful coping of sports science students in times of complex situations, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
