THIS STUDY AIMS TO ANALYZE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVELS AND PERCEIVED ACADEMIC STRESS IN NURSING STUDENTS DURING FINAL EXAMS. A DESCRIPTIVE CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY WAS CONDUCTED WITH 43 STUDENTS. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY WAS MEASURED USING ACTIGRAPH WGT3X ACCELEROMETERS, AND ACADEMIC STRESS WAS ASSESSED WITH THE SISCO INVENTORY.

SEDENTARY BEHAVIOR WAS HIGHER IN THOSE WITH LOWER STRESS LEVELS (P=.0492). THESE FINDINGS SUGGEST THAT ACADEMIC STRESS MAY NEGATIVELY INFLUENCE PHYSI...
