The study was conducted from September 7th, 2022 to February 28th, 2023. A total of 281 copies were used for final analysis by utilizing a convenience sampling method. The general characteristics of the survey subjects were 138 males (49.1%) and 143 females (50.9%), with an average of 47 (47.36) years old. Data were analyzed by using exploratory factor analysis, correlation analysis, paired sample t-test, and regression analysis. The results of the current study are as follows: First, as a result of comparing before and after COVID-19 pandemic, significant differences were found in participants' health status and exercise participation rate.
