Overview

Cross-sectional survey examines mediation of psychological resilience in anxiety and physical activity among university students, suggesting new intervention strategies.

Key Points

  • The study aims to examine the mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between anxiety and physical activity among university students.
  • Cross-sectional survey conducted among 770 university students aged 18–26 in Punjab, Pakistan.
  • Participants completed validated measures for anxiety, psychological resilience, and physical activity.
  • Correlation, regression, mediation, and latent profile analyses were performed, controlling for gender and academic year.
  • Anxiety negatively correlates with resilience (r = −0.475, p < 0.001) and physical activity (r = −0.378, p < 0.001).
  • Resilience positively correlates with physical activity (r = 0.419, p < 0.001).
  • Mediation analysis shows resilience accounts for 39% of the effect of anxiety on physical activity.
