Abstract
To investigate the moderating influence of physical activity (PA) on the relationship between depression and university students. An estimated 25% of the global population suffers from mental health issues. There are several reasons that can contribute to exam anxiety among students. A survey was done online with a sample size of 80 Karachi university students. The sample comprised of 50% females and 50% males between the ages of 17 and 25. 49% of students say that regular physical activity reduces exam-related anxiety. Physical activity may aid in the reduction of exam-related stress, anxiety, and sadness. Physical activity moderates the connection between depression, according to the research. Future studies should include a longitudinal design. Depression intervention methods should consider the health behaviours of individuals.
