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.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the health practices and behaviors of university students in the Southern Philippines, focusing on key domains such as health perception and management, nutritional practices, physical activity, sleep, cognitive function, and stress tolerance. Using a quantitative, descriptive correlation design, data were gathered from 1,086 students through a simple random sampling technique. The primary instrument used was the health practices and behaviors questionnaire, which assessed students' health behaviors across the various domains. Statistical analysis involved computing composite means to describe health practices and Spearman's rho to examine the interrelationships between these behaviors. Results indicated that students exhibited moderate health practices across most domains, with a significant positive correlation found between health behaviors in areas such as physical activity, stress tolerance, and sleep. The study highlights the interconnected nature of health behaviors and the need for integrated health promotion strategies that address multiple aspects of student well-being simultaneously. The findings suggest that universities should focus on holistic programs that foster healthier lifestyles, improving students’ overall health outcomes and academic performance. Future research should explore additional factors influencing student health behaviors, including socio-economic, environmental, and cultural influences, to create more targeted interventions.
