This study focuses on encouraging female university students in Saudi Arabia to engage in sports and physical exercise, examining how this activity might influence their mental health. It aims to identify effective ways to promote regular physical activity among young adults, which is crucial for their overall well-being. By increasing awareness and providing counseling on the benefits of physical activity, the study hopes to enhance education and policy-making regarding exercise adherence, potentially leading to better mental health outcomes for this group. Participants in the study will attend awareness counseling sessions designed to promote physical activity. These sessions aim to educate participants about the benefits of regular exercise and provide strategies to help them maintain a consistent exercise routine. The study will assess how these sessions impact their adherence to physical activity and any corresponding changes in mental health. There are no specific primary outcomes listed, but the overarching goal is to see improvements in both physical activity levels and mental health among the participants.
