Abstract
  • Physical activity is essential in promoting healthy lifestyles among people. Its benefits apply to people of all ages by providing a better health be it physiology as well as psychology. This study uses a cross-sectional survey method. The population and sample of the study consisted of full boarding school students in central zone. The research instrument used is Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) version II. The findings show that the mean time period for students to engage in weekly physical activity (TPA) is 1,960.15 minutes/week with the mean weekly energy consumption is 357.42 kcal/week and the highest classification is inactive which is 87.8%. Findings show that SBP students prefer to spend time doing low-intensity physical activity (MPA) (mean time = 1,511.30 minutes/week) compared to high-intensity physical activity (VPA) (mean time = 548.16 minutes/week). For the body mass index, the students showed the ideal weight gain for both men and women. There was no significant relationship between physical activity involvement and body composition among students during the COVID-19 pandemic. In relation to these findings, the decrease in physical activity involvement can have a negative impact on physical and mental health. The application of a healthy lifestyle in performing physical activities is seen as important in ensuring the well-being of life in today's pandemic situation.
