📄 Abstract
Introduction: Physical activity is any activity that requires physical effort and can increase heart rate and breathing. Physical activity plays a role in maintaining physical fitness, strengthening the heart and lungs, reducing the risk of chronic diseases, and helping to improve mood, reduce stress, and enhance quality of life. This study aims to determine the relationship between physical activity and quality of life among students in Malang. Methods: This study employed a correlational design using total sampling. The instruments used were the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire (GLTEQ) and the WHOQOL-BREF, with data analysed using Pearson’s or Spearman’s correlation tests at a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The results showed that the majority of respondents comprised 92 students, with a majority being female (71.7%) and in early adulthood with an average age of 21.52 years. The majority of respondents reported a very good quality of life (81.5%) and were classified as active in physical activity (58.7%). The results of the Spearman test showed a p-value of 0.472 (p > 0.05), indicating no significant relationship between physical activity and quality of life. Conclusion: Physical activity, which varies according to participant characteristics, does not determine an individual’s quality of life; merely having a low level of physical activity does not imply that an individual’s quality of life is poor.
