The purpose of the present study was to analyze the relationship between Physical Activity, SelfEfficacy for Physical Exercise and Perceived Stress in a group of young university students. The sample comprised 137 students studying at a private university in Lima, spanning both genders and ages between 18 and 30 years (M = 21.58 years; SD = 2.41). Three questionnaires were used, the Spanish translated version of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) (WHO, 2017); the Self-Efficacy to Regulate Exercise Questionnaire (SERES) in its Spanish translated and validated version by Fuentes and Gonzalez (2020) and the Spanish translated and validated version of the Perceived Stress Scale (EEP) (Remor & Carrobles, 2001). It was found that 65% of the participants perform physical activity at levels recommended by the WHO. In addition, physical activity and self-efficacy for exercise were found to be directly correlated; however, no association with perceived stress was found. In addition, a direct relationship was found between self-efficacy for exercise and perceived stress. Finally, sex differences in perceived stress and physical activity were found. Limitations of the study are discussed, possible explanations for the results are examined, and suggestions for future research are provided.
