Physical Activity Towards Health and Fitness (PATHFit): Awareness and Theoretical Competencies of Maritime Students

Abstract Abstract

This study examined the extent to which physical health awareness influences the Physical Activity Towards Health and Fitness (PATHFit) competencies of maritime students. Utilizing a quantitative research design, data were collected through a validated researcher-made survey questionnaire covering key aspects of physical health awareness, including nutrition, physical fitness, lifestyle habits, and health assessment tools, alongside PATHFit competencies such as understanding exercise principles, applying techniques, designing fitness programs, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Findings revealed that the extent of influence of physical health awareness on all PATHFit competencies was very weak, suggesting that knowledge alone may not sufficiently translate into practical application. Based on these results, the study emphasizes the need for structured interventions to bridge gaps between awareness and competency. Consequently, the Growth-Oriented Development for Optimal Youth (GODOY) Wellness Intervention was proposed, incorporating the Modified ADDIE model in terms of Analysis, Design, and Development phases to enhance students’ knowledge, practical skills, and sustainable health behaviors. The intervention is grounded in the Expectancy-Value Theory, SelfDetermination Theory, and Social-Cognitive Theory, ensuring that it motivates, engages, and empowers students to actively apply health knowledge in both academic and maritime contexts.
