Abstract

This study aims to determine the association between physical activity, Body Mass Index (BMI), and physical fitness in first-year sports students. This study is descriptive quantitative research with a cross-sectional study approach. 66 students (age 18,30 dan 0,70) (male =43, female = 23) of the sport were involved. Instruments to measure physical activity level adopted the Baecke Questionnaire; physical fitness used the sit and reach test, 60-second sit up, 60-second squat thrust, and PACER test. BMI was measured by dividing body weight (kg) by the multiplication of height (meters). Spearman's Rank test was used to determine whether there was a relationship. The results showed that the level of physical activity was mostly in the high category (37.88%), BMI was mostly in the normal category (81.7%), and physical fitness was mostly in the poor category (51.5%). Statistical test results showed that physical activity was related to physical fitness, while BMI was not. In conclusion, a person's level of physical activity can affect physical fitness. Longitudinal studies are needed to ascertain whether physical fitness and physical activity are factors in the success of sports students in following all practice-based courses.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between sports and physical activity anxiety and self-actualization among university students. Utilizing a quantitative research design with a descriptive correlation approach, the study involved 2,043 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Two primary instruments were employed: the physical activity and sport anxiety scale (PASAS) to measure anxiety levels and the index of self-actualization to assess self-actualization traits. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rho correlation coefficient to explore the relationships between the variables. Results revealed that respondents exhibited low levels of sports and physical activity anxiety and moderate levels of self-actualization. Notably, a significant negative correlation was identified between sports and physical activity anxiety and self-actualization. These findings imply that higher anxiety related to sports and physical activities is associated with lower levels of self-actualization, highlighting the need for supportive environments that mitigate anxiety in physical activity contexts. The study underscores the importance of implementing strategies to reduce anxiety and promote self-discovery, ultimately fostering resilience and personal growth among students.
