Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study examines the relationship between physical self-efficacy and the quality of life among rural Filipino youth. Methodology: The study employed a quantitative correlational design. Data were collected from 378 respondents selected via simple random sampling, using a validated physical self-efficacy scale and a quality-of-life assessment tool. Main Findings: Findings indicate that students exhibited moderate levels of physical self-efficacy and perceived quality of life. The analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between these variables, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.439 r = 0.439 r = 0.439 (p-value = 0.001). This result suggests that higher physical self-efficacy is associated with improved life satisfaction, highlighting the importance of fostering confidence in physical abilities as a key contributor to overall wellbeing. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study underscores the pivotal role of physical self-efficacy in enhancing rural youth wellbeing, offering new insights into addressing disparities in resources and opportunities for physical activity. It contributes to sports and education policy by highlighting the need to prioritize physical education programs that build self-efficacy among rural youth. Additionally, the study provides practical applications for community-based interventions, such as designing inclusive sports initiatives and accessible recreational facilities, which can promote active lifestyles and holistic development. These findings serve as a foundation for crafting evidence-based strategies to support rural youth in overcoming socio-economic barriers and achieving improved physical, emotional, and social wellbeing.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the relationship between sports and physical anxiety and life satisfaction among college students in a leading Philippine state university. Employing a quantitative research design, specifically descriptive correlation, data were collected from 2,043 respondents using simple random sampling. The research utilized the physical activity and sport anxiety scale and the life satisfaction index to measure the respective constructs, with analyses conducted using Spearman’s rho correlation coefficient to assess relationships between variables. Results indicated a significant relationship between sports and physical anxiety and life satisfaction, revealing that higher levels of anxiety corresponded to lower life satisfaction. These findings highlight the importance of addressing sports and physical anxiety to improve overall well-being. Implications suggest that institutions should implement mental health and wellness initiatives aimed at reducing anxiety and promoting supportive environments in physical education settings. By fostering a culture that prioritizes psychological well-being alongside physical engagement, institutions can enhance students’ life satisfaction and overall quality of life.

Abstract

This study explored the concerns and suggestions of generation Z students in rural communities to improve the newly implemented tertiary physical education (PE) program in the Philippines - physical activity towards health and fitness (PATHFit). Employing a qualitative-ethnographic approach, data were gathered from 20 generation Z students who were selected and participated in purposive interviews using open-ended questions validated by experts. The findings highlighted several themes following the data analysis using the Colaizzi method: PE should be engaging and fun, moving beyond traditional books and materials; a more flexible curriculum is needed, one that does not feel like a rigid prescription; student-centered activities should be prioritized to promote active involvement; lectures should be limited, with a greater focus on interactive, hands-on experiences; access to sports equipment through a borrowing system is crucial for student participation; and high-quality teaching, characterized by clear communication and practical demonstrations, is essential for a more meaningful learning experience. The study concludes and implies that generation Z students in rural communities desire a more engaging, flexible, and interactive PATHFit program that aligns with their interests and needs. Their insights provide valuable direction for enhancing the curriculum, promoting active student involvement, and ensuring that teaching is clear, practical, and engaging.

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.
