Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of having fitness routines on the physical fitness of UPRHS Senior high school students for the academic year 2023-2024. It aims to determine whether having regular physical activity impacts a student's physical fitness. A survey was conducted among ninety-six (96) senior high school students. The participants were asked about their BMI, whether they have regular physical activity, what activities they engage in, and the number of times they engage in that physical activity in a week. Then a fitness test was administered to suitable participants and recorded their flexibility, muscle strength, and cardiovascular fitness. The data were analyzed using Spearman's corelation coefficient to identify the correlation between physical fitness factors and the number of physical activities. The results indicated a very low correlation between having physical activity on physical fitness except for the moderately positive corelation between muscle strength score and the number of physical activities and cardiovascular fitness and BMI, which is statistically significant. The data of the matrix shows that there is a positive impact of having cardiovascul ar exercises on the BMI of the participants. The data of the matrix also suggests that higher muscle scores are moderately associated with a greater number of physical activities. The findings suggest that even having physical activity does not directly affect physical fitness because it might be due to the intensity of the activity and exercise. Intervention suggests that an increase in physical activity level may lead to an increase in physical fitness and respiratory function. Higher levels of physical activity should be promoted among SHS Students for improved physical fitness and respiratory function.
