Involving 200 students through surveys and fitness tests, the research found high awareness and commendable adherence to the guidelines, with overall fitness rated as "Very Satisfactory." A significant positive correlation was observed between adherence (not just awareness) to the guidelines and fitness levels, especially among older students, while gender and weight had no significant impact. Students excelled in flexibility, muscular endurance, and cardiovascular endurance but showed weaker performance in muscular strength. The study recommends reinforcing Pinggang Pinoy practices, promoting active participation in fitness programs, enhancing nutrition education, and encouraging hands-on activities like meal planning and strength training. It also suggests future research on the long-term impact of integrated nutrition and fitness strategies.
