Abstract

Scientific research was performed by conducting a survey. The survey was sent out to the freshman class of 2026 at Misericordia University. The objective of the survey was to compare the relationship between physical activity and stress levels. The students answered a series of questions related to physical activity in high school, college, their stress levels in high school and college, and their preferred type of physical activity. The results of the survey were then compared to peer reviewed articles to form a conclusion on the research performed.
