Summary

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to understand how physical activity affects mental health and perceived stress in undergraduate medical students in Pakistan. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does physical activity improve the mental health of medical students? Does physical activity lower the stress levels of medical students?

Researchers will compare students who engage in physical activity to those who do not to see if physical activity improves their mental health and reduces stress.

Participants will:

Complete surveys about their mental health and perceived stress. Report their physical activity levels, including how often they exercise and for how long.

This study will help identify how lifestyle changes, like exercising, can improve the well-being of medical students and potentially reduce the challenges they face during their education.
