| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to identify is there any relationship between cardiovascular fitness and level of physical activity participation among UiTM Seremban students. This study was guided by the following research objectives: (i) to identify the cardiovascular fitness among FSPPP and FSKM students in UiTM Negeri Sembilan, (ii) to identify the level of physical activity participation among FSPPP and FSKM students in UiTM Negeri Sembilan and (iii) to determine the relationship between cardiovascular fitness and level of physical activity participation among FSPPP and FSKM students in UiTM Negeri Sembilan. 182 students from 2 faculties at UiTM Seremban were participated in this study. The Bleep Test is a test was used to identify the level of cardiovascular fitness and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Fonn (IPAQ-SF) was used to identify the level of physical activity participation. Analysis involved descriptive statistics to see the level of both cardiovascular fitness and physical activity participation. The result showed most of the subjects have fair level of cardiovascular fitness (70.9%, n=l 29). Whereas the level of physical activity participation among FSPPP and FSKM students in UiTM Seremban was at moderate with highest percentage (76.9%, n= l40). This study shows that there is a significant relationship between the cardiovascular fitness and level of physical activity participation (p-value < 0.001 (p < 0.05)).
