Objectives to identify the association between stress, sleep quality, physical activity with CRF level among medical students. Design The cross-sectional data was collected between September until November 2021. A total of 38 male and 73 female students of Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang were participated in this study. Stress level was assessed with DASS-21, sleep quality with PSQI, physical activity with GPAQ questionnaire. The level of CRF was measured using the Harvard Step Test. Statistical analysis for bivariate correlation ordinal scale was tested using Spearman Rank. Results 83 participants (74,8%) had low CRF. Meanwhile, 76 participants (68,5%) experienced no stress. In addition, 75 participants (67,6%) had poor sleep quality. A total number of 79 participants (71%) had low physical activity. There was no significant correlation between stress level, sleep quality, physical activity with CRF ( p=0,962; 0,772; 0,114, respectively).
