<![CDATA[Background: This research was conducted by physical education lecturers who were obese, even though they were very knowledgeable about the dangers and consequences. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the relationship between knowledge of health and physical activity and the lifestyle habits of physical education lecturers. Methods: The participants involved in this study were 28 physical education lecturers aged between 30 and 60 years. The instruments used were a questionnaire on awareness of physical activity (health condition, current physical activity, and opportunities to do physical activity) and unstructured interviews. Results: The results showed that physical education lecturers knew about health and physical activity. It was also found that physical education lecturers were overweight. The leading causes were a lack of physical activity due to work and difficulty finding time after work. This suggests that knowledge about health and physical activity does not motivate individuals to engage in physical activity. Thus, many lecturers are overweight. Conclusion: This study highlights that physical education lecturers possess a high level of knowledge about health and physical activity, as evidenced by their educational background. However, the study's results show that knowledge is not directly proportional to physical activity. Lecturers tend not to engage in physical activity, particularly when they are engaged in work or experience fatigue as a result of their work. Implications and Recommendation: Future research is expected to encourage policymakers to support physical education lecturers by designing work schedules that include time for physical activity. Hence, it will help prevent the adverse effects of not engaging in physical activity.]]>
