Namen magistrske naloge je bil preučiti povezanost med stopnjo in intenzivnostjo telesne dejavnosti ter izbranimi vidiki duševnega zdravja, osebnostnimi lastnostmi in strategijami spoprijemanja s stresom pri študentih. Naloga izhaja iz sodobnih biopsihosocialnih pristopov, ki telesno dejavnost obravnava kot pomemben dejavnik duševnega zdravja. Hkrati poudarjamo, da njen vpliv ni enak pri vseh posameznikih, temveč je odvisen od intenzivnosti vadbe, okoliščin in osebnih značilnosti. Naloga je bila zasnovana kot kvantitativna presečna študija. Podatki so bili zbrani v študentski populaciji s pomočjo standardiziranih vprašalnikov, ki so merili telesno aktivnost, duševno zdravje, osebnostne lastnosti in načine spoprijemanja s stresom. Analiza je vključevala korelacijske analize ter primerjave med manj in bolj telesno dejavnimi študenti. Rezultati so pokazali, da telesna dejavnost ni enako povezana z vsemi kazalniki duševnega zdravja. Statistično značilne povezave so se pojavile predvsem pri zadovoljstvu z življenjem, psihološki čvrstosti, zaznani stresni obremenitvi ter nekaterih osebnostnih lastnostih, kot sta ekstravertnost in nevroticizem. Intenzivnejša telesna dejavnost je bila povezana z ugodnejšim psihološkim profilom. Po drugi strani dodatno povečevanje količine telesne aktivnosti nad priporočeno mejo ni prineslo dodatnih izrazitih psiholoških koristi. Tudi primerjave med manj in bolj telesno dejavnimi študenti večinoma niso pokazale statistično pomembnih razlik, kar nakazuje, da učinki telesne dejavnosti niso linearni. Ugotovitve poudarjajo, da je telesna dejavnost pomemben, vendar ne univerzalen dejavnik duševnega zdravja. Njeni učinki so povezani z intenzivnostjo in kakovostjo vadbe ter z individualnimi osebnostnimi značilnostmi. Med omejitvami raziskave je treba omeniti presečni raziskovalni načrt in uporabo samoocenjevalnih vprašalnikov, kar omejuje možnost posploševanja rezultatov. Kljub temu naloga prispeva k boljšemu razumevanju odnosa med telesno dejavnostjo in duševnim zdravjem pri študentih ter ponuja izhodišča za nadaljnje raziskave in praktične pristope k spodbujanju telesne dejavnosti.

Izvleček

The aim of the master’s thesis was to examine the relationship between the level and intensity of physical activity and selected aspects of mental health, personality traits, and stress-coping strategies among students. The study is based on contemporary biopsychosocial approaches that view physical activity as an important factor of mental health. At the same time, it emphasizes that its effects are not the same for all individuals but depend on exercise intensity, context, and individual characteristics. The study was designed as a quantitative cross-sectional research. Data were collected in a student population using standardized questionnaires measuring physical activity, mental health, personality traits, and coping strategies. The analysis included correlation analyses and comparisons between less and more physically active students. The results showed that physical activity was not equally associated with all indicators of mental health. Statistically significant associations were found mainly for life satisfaction, psychological resilience, perceived stress, and certain personality traits, such as extraversion and neuroticism. Higher exercise intensity was associated with a more favorable psychological profile. In contrast, increasing the amount of physical activity beyond the recommended level did not lead to additional pronounced psychological benefits. Comparisons between less and more physically active students also revealed mostly no statistically significant differences, suggesting that the effects of physical activity are not linear. The findings highlight that physical activity is an important but not universal factor of mental health. Its effects are related to exercise intensity and quality, as well as individual personality characteristics. Limitations of the study include its cross-sectional design and the use of self- report questionnaires, which limit the generalizability of the results. Nevertheless, the thesis contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between physical activity and mental health among students and provides a basis for future research and practical approaches to promoting physical activity.
