Knowledge, attitude and practice towards physical activity among healthcare students at a public university in Saudi Arabia
The majority of participants in our study showed good knowledge and positive attitudes toward PA. A lower number of participants, though still the majority, had satisfactory levels of PA. Health education and health promotion initiatives should maintain and enhance knowledge of the positive effects of PA on health.
