Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the social happiness in active and inactive adolescents
during the coronavirus prevalence period.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Shiraz, Iran in 2020. High school students of either gender being physically healthy living in Shiraz were included. The criterion of being active was having at least 3 one-hour sessions of sports activity during the week. A social vitality questionnaire was used to assess social happiness.
The minimum score in this test is 37 and the maximum score is 74. A high score indicates the high cheerfulness of
the respondent.
Results: Of 350 adolescent's students participated in this study. The mean age, weight, and height were 16.78 ± 2.59 years, 55.93 ± 11.37 kg, and 162.98 ± 6.21 cm respectively. A significant mean difference of total score of social happiness was observed in between active and inactive students (p-value <0.001). Moreover, stratification of gender also showed a significant mean difference in male (p-value <0.001) and female (p-value <0.001).
