Stress level of all samples were measured before and after the period of intervention using PSS-10 questionnaire.Mann Whitney test result shows significant realtion between moderate intensity aerobic exercise at home and the studentsstress level with P value = 0.002 (p<0.05). Spearman’s rho shows the relation between variables are significant, with strongand positive correlation with correlation coefficient = 0.564.
