Postsecondary students' stress levels have increased in the United States during the last decade, with a significant rise of 30%-40% in counseling center visits by students citing stress, specifically among undergraduate nursing students experiencing increased stress and anxiety. The problem with the literature was the lack of consensus about stress adaptation and reduction being specifically influenced by the effects of physical activity. This study investigated the influence of physical activity on stress and mental health among undergraduate nursing students, grounded on the stress transactional model, the two-continuum model of mental health, and the cross-stressor adaptations hypothesis. Utilizing a quantitative correlational-predictive design, the study surveyed 163 nursing students from Miami Regional University, employing the Perceived Stress Scale-10, International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form, and Mental Health Continuum-Short Form for data collection. The analysis included data cleaning, reliability testing, descriptive statistics, and linear regression to explore the relationships and predictions among the variables under investigation. The results suggested that physical activity did not significantly impact stress (p = 0.940) or mental health levels (p = 0.075). In contrast, stress levels were found to be a significant predictor of mental health (p < 0.001) after controlling for age, sex, grade point average (GPA), income, and employment status. Also, the results indicated that age negatively relates to stress (p = 0.014) and positively to mental health (p = 0.004), while employment status showed a negative relationship with mental health (p = 0.002). These findings added to the literature's contradictions regarding the beneficial effect of physical activity on stress and mental health. Findings also challenged the application of cross-stress adaptation and stress transactional theories to the real world. The study calls for expanded research to a larger and more diverse sample, including controlled experiments and longitudinal studies, to deepen{A0}the understanding of these relationships. It is also recommended that educational institutions adopt a holistic approach to student wellness, providing comprehensive support services such as wellness centers, stress management counseling, fitness facilities, childcare, immersive academic programs, and legal and financial counseling to address the multifaceted nature of postsecondary student stress and mental health.
