“…A survey of university students in Korea reported that natural science students had the highest physical activity according to major and greater physical activity levels than humanities, social sciences, business, and medicine students. 25 This result supports the findings that physiotherapy students have lower physical activity levels because the curriculum in physical therapy is similar to that in medicine. In addition, physical therapy students tend to avoid vigorous activity and high-intensity exercises that have been shown to overload and adversely affect the joints of the body.…”

Purpose: This study was to the investigate recognition of physical activity between physical therapy students (PTS) and non-physical therapy students (NPTS) by measuring the level of physical activity using International Physical Activity Questionnaires (IPAQ). Methods: A cross-sectional survey was completed by 191 university students. The IPAQ with an additional question (Is physical activity necessary for your future job?) was used to evaluate the recognition and the amount of physical activity. The collected data were calculated as MET-minutes scores and were classified as walking, moderate, and vigorous level of physical activity. The students were analyzed by dividing them into those who had a part-time employment (16 PTS and 12 NPTS) and those who did not have a part-time employment (80 PTS and 83 NPTS). Results: In students with a part-time employment, no significances were observed between the PTS and NPTS, in terms of MET, frequency and time of physical activity, and sitting time (p > 0.05). In students without a part-time employment, the NPTS was significantly higher than the PTS for the MET and frequency of physical activity in a vigorous level (p< 0.05), and there were no significant differences in other levels of physical activity (p> 0.05). In the additional question, the PTS showed a slightly higher than the NPTS (p< 0.05). Conclusion:The physical therapy students did not remarkable barrier to recognition of physical activity, but there was a difference in their recognition of the vigorous level of physical activity. Therefore, the understanding of physical activity for PTS would play an important role in the recognition of how physical activity can be promoted.

“…High wellness levels in workers play a key role in improving productivity in the workplace and national well-being ( 9 ). In addition, research on wellness promotion has focused primarily on physical or leisure activities ( 12 , 21 , 22 ), and few studies have been conducted on the relationship between mental health and wellness, and more research is needed.…”

Wellness in adult workers is intimately associated with better quality of life in individuals, as well as in the family, community, workplace, and country. This study aimed to examine the status of wellness in adult workers and to identify the factors that influence wellness. A descriptive survey was conducted with 260 adult workers. T- test and one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Scheffe test were used to analyze the data. Multiple regression analysis was performed on stress, depression, anxiety, well-being, self-efficacy, and perceived health status. The regression model for wellness in adult workers was significant (F = 42.21, p < 0.001), with an explanatory power of 0.558. Depression (β = −0.306) was identified as the most influential factor for wellness in adult workers, followed by self-efficacy (β = 0.280) and well-being (β = 0.264). Depression, stress, and anxiety negatively influenced wellness, whereas self-efficacy, well-being, and perceived health status positively influenced wellness. Study findings suggest the need to develop intervention programs for workers that decrease stress, depression, and anxiety, and incorporate self-efficacy strategies.
