Abstract

Abstract Objective: To investigate the prevalence of sexual dysfunctions in physically active versus sedentary female university students. Methods: Cross-sectional case-control survey study, involving 202 female university students aged 18–40 years (180 who performed regular physical activity and 22 sedentary students, in the same age group). Sexual function was evaluated by the Female Sexual Function Index. Results: Sexual dysfunction was more prevalent in sedentary (45.5%) than physically active participants (38.9%; p = 0.646). In relation to the domains valued by Female Sexual Function Index, only “excitation” presented a statistically significant difference (p = 0.031). Conclusion: Prevalence of sexual dysfunction was similar in active and sedentary female university students.
