Abstract
The purpose of the current study was to estimate the relationship betw een exercise frequency and measures of shyness and loneliness in a sam ple of 882 college students. Analysis provided evidence that higher sh yness and loneliness scores were associated with not exercising and in frequent exercising. Also, subjects who exercise 7 times a week scored significantly lower than the other exercise-frequency groups. Analysi s of covariance, controlling for possible confounding variables, gives further support.
