Assessment of College Students' Attitude towards Physical Activity in District Bannu

Abstract

    The aim of this study was to look at students' attitudes about physical activity (ATPA) in government colleges in District Bannu. The relevant data was collected using a modified version of the Kenyon Attitude towards Physical Activity (Kenyon ATPA) validated by Khan al, (2012). The results of this study revealed that there were significant differences in college students' overall attitudes and five perceived meanings toward physical exercise (p < 05). However, age, discipline, and year of enrollment all had a substantial impact on their overall attitude toward physical activity (p < 05). Male students were more likely to participate in physical exercise for the purpose of social connection than female students were for sake of health and fitness. So, gender has a big impact on the types of physical activity program. The results of this study also indicated that studying sport science could influence attitudes towards physical activity.
