The Effect of Physical Activity on Sleep Quality, Tiredness and Anger Level This study was conducted to investigate the effects of physical activity levels of individuals aged 18-28 on sleep quality, fatigue and anger levels. 1940 participants who are 18-24 aged from various regions of the country attended to the research voluntarily, 59.1% of the participants were famele (n= 1146) and 40.9% were male (n= 794). The Internetional Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to determine the physical activity levels of the participants, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to measure sleep quality and to measure the tiredness level, Checklist Individual Strength Scale was used. According to the results, when the physical activity levels of the participants were examined, 39.9% were inactive, 47.6% were minimal active and 12.4% were very active. It was observed that there was a weak negative correlation between MET scores indicating physical activity levels and total fatigue levels (r= -0,270; p<0,01). When the relationship between MET scores and sleep quality levels was examined, it was found that there was a very weak relationship in the negative direction (r= -0,049; p= 0,030). When the relationship between MET scores and anger scores were examined, there was a very weak positive relationship between MET scores and anger size (r= 0,062; p= 0,006) and anger control dimension (r= 0,131; p<0,01). As a result; It can be said that as individuals physical activity levels increase; tiredness decreases, sleep quality decreases and anger control increases.
