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 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.
