Abstract
This study examined the challenges faced by Bachelor of Physical Education (BPEd) students of Ifugao State University Potia Campus in engaging in physical activities towards health and fitness. Using a descriptive research design under a quantitative framework, supplemented by qualitative interviews, the study involved 123 BPEd students as participants. Data was collected through surveys and interviews, focusing on equipment availability, facility adequacy, time management, physical health, and instructional quality. The study identified five primary challenges: limited resources, outdated facilities, poor time management, health-related issues, and instructional barriers. The project AKTIBO, (Active Knowledge, Through Indigenous Based Outdoor Activities). A proposed intervention program aims to intensify these challenges by enhancing facilities, providing tailored fitness routines, promoting effective time management strategies, and incorporating mental health support. The study recommends implementing targeted intervention programs to improve student engagement, health, and academic performance in physical education.
