| Abstract | Physical Activity Towards Health and Fitness (PATHFit) is an essential component of higher education curricula as it promotes physical competence and supports the holistic well being of students. This study aimed to determine the level of PATHFit skills of first year Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) students in terms of motor skills, endurance, strength, flexibility, and coordination; assess their dimensions of well being across emotional, social, mental, spiritual, and physical aspects; examine the relationship between PATHFit skills and dimensions of well being; evaluate the extent of influence of PATHFit skills on well being; and propose a recreational intervention program based on the findings. A descriptive correlational research design was employed involving one hundred first year BSIT students at Central Bicol State University of Agriculture–Sipocot Campus during the academic year 2025–2026. Data were collected using standardized PATHFit skill assessment tools and a validated well being questionnaire. Statistical treatments included weighted mean to describe levels of skills and well being, Pearson’s product moment correlation to determine relationships, and coefficient of determination to assess influence. Results revealed that students demonstrated a good level of PATHFit skills and a generally high level of well being, with social well being ranking the highest among the dimensions. Significant relationships were found between PATHFit skills and the physical dimension of well being, while strength showed a strong relationship with mental well being. Coordination and strength exhibited moderate influence on physical and mental well being, respectively. Based on these findings, a recreational intervention program titled Active Minds, Strong Bodies was proposed to enhance PATHFit skills and promote balanced and holistic student well being. |
