ABSTRACT
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the
absence of disease or infirmity (WHO, 2017). Mental health is defined as a state of well-being, in which every individual realizes his or
her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to
her or his community (World Health Organization and Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, 2014). There is consensus that regular physical
activity (PA) can improve physical fitness (PF) and health and assist in the prevention of disease. Several studies have shown that physically
active adults are healthier and have a higher PF than inactive adults throughout different nations and populations groups.

ORIGIN OF THE PROBLEM
The present study conducted on various women groups
under the age of 18–30 and 30–50 within one of the city in
Hyderabad. As Marc Ashley Harris, Department of Sociology
and Philosophy of sports said relationship between mental and
physical activity. However, in this study analyzed that there will
be no relationship between mental and physically but not totally,

and fitness, this can may lead and harm the next generation
like through genetic disorders, recent studies that assess work
related activity fail in finding a positive influence on body
composition and health factors and, especially in the elderly,
injuries and physical wear and tear caused by PA are not
uncommon. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the
longitudinal women health and related diseases from different
aspects and their daily life PA and PF and HS in adults and to
assess the influence of age, and sex.

MEASURE
Physical Activity
Weekly sports activity, habitual activity, and work related
activity were assessed through questionnaire. An estimation
of the weekly energy expenditure in MET-hours per week for
SA, HA, and fitness was calculated according to their stamina,
as a product of weekly frequency, duration, and intensity of
the type of activity.
A total of 250 different subjects (women from both the age
group 120 and 130) aged 18–30 and 30–50 participated
times over the course of the study (2 years). The response
rate of the initial sample in 2019 was 26%. For the initial
sample, two groups of 18–30 and 30–50 years old were
invited. A study showed that there are significant differences
in selected parameters (e.g., physical fitness, physical health
status, and physical activity) between participants and invited
nonparticipants except migration background.
