Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
It is well known that physical activity (PA) has health benefits. This study was conducted with the aim to examine the physical activity carried out by the sports science students in Sultan Idris Education University and its relation to their quality of Life (QoL). Surveillance of PA and QoL was measured by using Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) and World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument (WHOQoL-BREF). Descriptive data were presented as means and standard deviation (SD) for continuous variables and as percentages for categorical variables. In order to express contrast between demographic, physical activity and quality of life variable, the independent T-test and one way Anova test was used for continuous variables and the descriptive statistics for the categorical variables. The impact of physical activity patterns adjusting for quality of life domains were analysed using multivariate linear regression analysis. P < 0.05 was set as the significance level. Overall, 106 participants (n=106) were recruited, the mean age of the study population was 22.32 ± 1.61 years. The results clearly showed sports science student are physically active because overall score recorded shows that their total time doing the physical activity meet recommendation that suggested by World Health Organization and average of QoL score are recorded high score . However, there was no significant association was found between GPAQ domains and QoL domains. As a conclusion, physical activity level do not affect their quality of life because even they have low total of physical activity, they still recorded higher score in quality of life.
