The total physical activity score average of the participants was found to be 493.66±49.62, 87.0% of them were inactive and 13.0% were low-level active. The short video addiction scale score average of the participants was found to be 34.63±5.01. A very strong negative correlation was found between short video addiction and physical activity level (r:0.812, p<0.001). Men, university graduates, unemployed individuals, and those who are physically inactive were determined as higher risk groups for short video addiction.
