<![CDATA[This study examined differences in physical activity, physical fitness, and teacher character among teachers in Pasuruan Regency according to gender. A quantitative comparative survey with a cross-sectional design was applied to 150 teachers (75 male and 75 female) from elementary and junior high schools. Physical activity was assessed with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), physical fitness with the 2,400-meter Cooper run test, and teacher character with a scale based on The Six Pillars of Character. Mean physical activity scores were 975 MET-minutes/week for male teachers and 968 for female teachers. Mean fitness scores were 17.5 and 17.4, respectively, while mean character scores were identical at 39.1. Independent samples t-tests and Mann–Whitney U tests yielded p-values greater than 0.05 for all three variables, indicating no statistically significant gender differences. The findings suggest that shared professional demands and organizational culture may outweigh biological sex in shaping these outcomes. Schools and education authorities can therefore design inclusive health, fitness, and character-development programs for all teachers without gender-based differentiation.]]>
