Relationship between exercise frequency and self-perceived mental health

Authorities in interdisciplinary fields agree that physical activity is an important element of a healthy life-style. Therefore, the aim of our study was to examine the relationship between exercise frequency and self-perceived mental health. An additional aim was to determine the reliability of exercise frequency scale and mental health summary score. The results showed that, compared with their inactive counterparts, people who exercise three and more times per week reported higher levels of self-perceived mental health.
