Abstract

Physical fitness plays an important role in supporting students' cognitive and academic activities, especially in the field of sports. However, the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI), physical fitness (VO₂ max), and academic achievement still needs to be studied further. This study aims to analyze the relationship between BMI and VO₂ max with the Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of students of the Sports Science Study Program (IKOR) of the State University of Surabaya and compare the level of physical fitness between the 2023 and 2024 batches. This research method uses a comparative quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 187 students who were selected using the purposive sampling technique. BMI is calculated based on weight and height, while VO₂ max is measured using the Bleep Test. The data were analyzed using independent t-tests, Pearson correlation, and linear regression. The results showed that VO₂ max had a significant positive relationship with GPA (r = 0.852, p < 0.01), while BMI had a weaker positive correlation (r = 0.535, p < 0.05). There was a significant difference in VO₂ max between the 2023 and 2024 batches (p = 0.039), with the 2024 class having a higher fitness level. These findings confirm that physical fitness plays a role in academic achievement and supports the implementation of physical exercise programs in universities. Further research is suggested to explore the psychological and environmental factors that can influence these relationships. Keywords: Physical fitness, Body Mass Index, VO₂ max, Academic achievement

Abstract

Higher education plays an important role in producing superior human resources, including in the field of sports. In the midst of increasing public awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and the need for sports professionals, interest in sports study programs is important to study. This study aims to analyse the level of interest, motivation, and factors that influence prospective students in choosing a sports study program. The method used was a quantitative descriptive survey with 200 respondents from various provinces in Indonesia. The results showed that 66% of respondents stated that they were very interested and 34% were interested in this study program. The main reasons behind this interest include the desire to become a professional sports teacher or coach (31.34%), personal interest in sports (23.88%), and the need for sports teachers in the region (20.40%). These findings are supported by Maslow, Holland, and Expectancy-Value theories which explain that academic choices are strongly influenced by internal motivations, social values, and perceptions of future success. This study recommends that higher education institutions strengthen their promotion strategies, curriculum development, and provision of broad career prospect information to attract more potential prospective students.
