Summary: Abstract: Students have found the shift from traditional classroom teaching-learning to online medical education to be extremely difficult individuals' physical activity is limited in social isolation settings, which leads to sedentary behaviors and increased usage of mobile communication devices. Fear of COVID-19 can cause cognitive anxiety, unpleasant feelings, and aggression as well as poor sleep quality or numbness, all of which can have profound consequences on medical students' physical and mental health. The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between physical activity and mental health of FEU-NRMF medical students for the Academic Year 2021-2022. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 81 first year medical students of FEU-NRMF using simple random sampling. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire about physical activity using IPAQ and mental status using HADS. The data consists of three parts: General Data, International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Data was analyzed using Chi square test of independence to determine the degree of relationship between mental status and physical activity. The data showed that the first year medical students had significant changes in their physical and mental health. The findings revealed a strong link between physical exercise and depression. Other findings, on the other hand, demonstrate no significant links between physical exercise and anxiety, or sex, physical activity, anxiety and depression. This study confirms that there is a relationship between physical activity and mental health of first year FEU-NRMF medical students.
