Abstract:
The present study is aimed to explore the relationship between physical exercise and the psychological well-being in University students. 200 participants in the age range of 18-25 were selected from two private Universities in the Karachi city. The effects of sports on personality traits were measured through Sports Personality Questionnaire developed by Fisher Craig (1975) whereas; psychological well-being was measured through Warwick Edinburgh mental well being scale developed by Warwick and Edinburgh (2006). The selected 200 participants were conveniently divided in to two groups, one group consisting of students involved in physical exercise and second group involved students not involved in physical exercise a correlation analysis shows that there is a negative relationship (p = - .309) between physical exercise and psychological well-being. Limitations and recommendations are also included in the study.
