Bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversitede okuyan öğrencilerin cinsiyetlerine göre fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinin pozitif ve negatif duygu durumuna etkisini incelemektir. Çalışmaya Akdeniz ve Uludağ Üniversitesinde eğitim gören 17-30 yaşları arasında 311 (Akdeniz Ü. 184–Uludağ Ü. 127) erkek ve 382 (Akdeniz Ü. 209–Uludağ Ü. 173) kadın olmak üzere toplam 693 öğrenci katılmıştır. Çalışmada uluslararası fiziksel aktivite anketinin kısa formu ve pozitif/negatif duygu ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde, t testi, pearson korelasyon analizi ve basit doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak; erkeklerin fiziksel aktivite değerleri kadınlara göre anlamlı olarak yüksek bulunmuştur. Toplam fiziksel aktivite değeri ile pozitif duygu durumu arasında pozitif doğrusal ilişki olduğu saptanmış olup, negatif duygu durumu ile ilişkili olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Buna göre; toplam fiziksel aktivite değerinin pozitif duygu durumunu kadın ve erkeklerde anlamlı düzeyde açıkladığı görülmektedir.
