Physical activity is effective in flourishing various aspects of the personality of society and plays an important role in the health of society.

The research instruments were the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and, Snyder's Hope Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical and Pearson correlation test and structural equation modeling using the SPSS 22 and AMOS 20 software.
Findings Work, sport and leisure physical activity had significant relationship with quality of life, life expectancy and life satisfaction. Also quality of life and life expectancy played a partial mediator role in relation to physical activity and life satisfaction.
