Background: Despite the many benefits of an active lifestyle, lack of physical activity is a significant health problem for students.
Objective: This research uses a descriptive research design. The purpose of this descriptive research is to determine the basic level of physical activity behavior, motivational factors, in order to develop tailored or targeted physical activity programs and interventions for students. This research consisted of 20 male students and 20 female students.
Method: The collection methods used in this research are: physical activity behavior using GLTEQ (Goding Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire), physical activity motivation using EMI-2 (Exercise Motivation Inventory-2) and Ability to use Self three types (Task, Coping and scheduling).
Results: The results show that the physical activity of 28% of women and 45% of men from the entire sample participated in 20 minutes of vigorous activity, while only 17% of women and 10% of men from all participants participated in 30 minutes of less physical activity and for 5-day 13% female and 18% male of all students. The conclusion shows that students' physical activity behavior is lacking in physical activity behavior with low physical activity with a description of motivation and self-efficacy in maintaining health and physical fitness.
Conclusion: Recommendations for further research are that the parties concerned pay more attention to physical activity behavior, motivation and self-efficacy in students because the benefits of regular physical activity will make the body healthy and increase constructive physical activity behavior.
