Abstract

This study aimed to explore the health practices and behaviors of university students in the Southern Philippines, focusing on key domains such as health perception and management, nutritional practices, physical activity, sleep, cognitive function, and stress tolerance. Using a quantitative, descriptive correlation design, data were gathered from 1,086 students through a simple random sampling technique. The primary instrument used was the health practices and behaviors questionnaire, which assessed students' health behaviors across the various domains. Statistical analysis involved computing composite means to describe health practices and Spearman's rho to examine the interrelationships between these behaviors. Results indicated that students exhibited moderate health practices across most domains, with a significant positive correlation found between health behaviors in areas such as physical activity, stress tolerance, and sleep. The study highlights the interconnected nature of health behaviors and the need for integrated health promotion strategies that address multiple aspects of student well-being simultaneously. The findings suggest that universities should focus on holistic programs that foster healthier lifestyles, improving students’ overall health outcomes and academic performance. Future research should explore additional factors influencing student health behaviors, including socio-economic, environmental, and cultural influences, to create more targeted interventions.

Abstract

Purpose of the Study: This study explores the challenges faced by parents during the full implementation of in-person classes at the tertiary level and examines their suggestions for improving this transition. Methodology: The study employed a qualitative descriptive research design. In-depth interviews were conducted with ten parents using a guided questionnaire to gather comprehensive insights. Triangulation was used to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the findings. Main Findings: The study highlights the resourcefulness and determination of parents in supporting their children's college education. It uncovers not only tangible successes—such as academic achievements and career prospects—but also narratives of resilience, creativity, and unwavering commitment in overcoming financial, emotional, and unforeseen challenges. Novelty/Originality of this Study: The study presents untold stories of parents' experiences, offering unique perspectives on their struggles and triumphs. These insights can inspire educational practices and policies that better address the needs of families supporting tertiary education in a post-pandemic context.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between physical activity engagement and internet addiction among university students in a rural Philippine academic setting—an understudied context where digital reliance and limited physical access converge. Employing a rigorous quantitative approach through a descriptive-correlational design, the study involved 892 respondents selected via simple random sampling from a premier state university. Data were gathered using the culturally adaptable international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ) and the internet addiction test (InAT), both established and reliable tools for assessing physical activity levels and problematic internet use. Descriptive and inferential statistics, including Pearson correlation coefficient, were utilized to analyze patterns and relationships within the data. The results indicate a significant negative correlation between physical activity engagement and internet addiction, suggesting that higher physical activity is associated with lower levels of problematic internet use. This finding underscores the protective role of physical activity against digital overdependence and highlights the need to contextualize behavioral health strategies within rural academic environments. The study offers valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and researchers aiming to support student well-being through integrative health and technology-use frameworks.

Abstract

This study explored the activity preferences of Generation Z (Gen Z) students in rural communities to enhance the implementation of the Philippine physical activity towards health and fitness (PATH-Fit) program. Utilizing a qualitative-ethnographic approach, insights were obtained from 20 selected Gen Z students through expert-validated open-ended questions. The findings highlighted seven key preferences: lessen the lectures, holistic activities, sports and physical activities, comfort, accessibility, and convenience, community and outdoor activities, activities to deviate from technology, and activities that do not add stress. The study revealed that Gen Z students in rural areas prefer PATH-Fit activities that are engaging, diverse, and supportive of their overall well-being. They favor fewer lectures to allow for more interactive learning experiences that integrate social, mental, and emotional aspects alongside physical activities. Additionally, they seek activities that are comfortable, accessible, and convenient, valuing easy access and minimal hassle. Community engagement and outdoor experiences are also crucial to them, as are opportunities to disconnect from technology and avoid stress. These preferences emphasize the need for a well-rounded and adaptable approach to physical education (PE) that aligns with Gen Z students’ diverse needs and well-being in rural communities.

Abstract

This study explored the experiences of Generation Z (Gen Z) students from rural communities in the PATH-Fit 1 course (movement competency training) to identify ways to improve the Philippine Physical Activity Toward Health and Fitness (PATH-Fit) program. A qualitative-descriptive approach was used, with 20 students carefully selected for interviews. Open-ended questions, validated by experts, were used to gather detailed insights into the students’ thoughts and experiences. The findings revealed that students enjoyed the engaging activities, the focus on overall well-being, and the supportive nature of their teachers in PATH-Fit 1. However, they also found the course physically exhausting and too demanding, which led to frustration. Additionally, students expressed concerns about teacher absenteeism and the ineffectiveness of online classes, which negatively impacted their learning experience. These issues highlighted areas where the program could be improved to better meet the needs of rural Gen Z students. By addressing these concerns, the PATH-Fit program can be more effectively tailored to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes, ultimately providing a more positive and fulfilling educational experience for Gen Z learners in rural communities.
