Abstract

This study aims to analyse the impact of outdoor physical activity on the healthy lifestyle of female university students and to promote campus tourism. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted over three months in the city of Constantine, involving 19 female students who practiced outdoor sports three times per week. The FFEPGV questionnaire was used to assess lifestyle. The results showed that 84% of the participants exercised for more than 45 minutes daily, and 90% engaged in physical activity at least three times per week. However, 63% followed an unbalanced diet with frequent snacking, while 74% drank more than 1.5 litres of water daily. No tobacco or alcohol consumption was recorded. Most participants reported good sleep quality and stable mental health without the use of medication. The study recommends promoting outdoor physical activity to improve quality of life and mental well-being, while also encouraging the development of university sports tourism
