Impact of a Physical Activity Intervention on Sleep Quality, Mental and Physical Well-Being in Health Sciences Students

This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of a regular weekly physical activity program versus a "Weekend Warrior" activity pattern on sleep quality, physical well-being, and mental well-being in sedentary university students. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the intervention groups or to a control group and assessed at baseline and after the intervention.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 18 to 25 years. * Low level of physical activity, determined using the validated International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) according to its scoring thresholds. * Provided written informed consent. * Available to participate in the entire intervention program and all planned assessments. Exclusion Criteria: * Current use of medications that may affect sleep quality or alertness (e.g., sedative hypnotics, sedative antidepressants, psychostimulants). * History of serious medical conditions or any contraindication to moderate physical activity. * Morbid obesity. * Current pregnancy during the study period. * Participation in another intervention program simultaneously.
