Abstract Several studies have explored the mechanism in increasing sports engagement. However, the underlying dynamics that drive engagement in sports remain a subject of ongoing investigations. This study aimed to delve deeper into the intricate relationship between passion and student athletes’ engagement in sports. A total of 408 student athletes aged from 18–27 years old (Mage= 20.93 years, SD= 2.09) completed the questionnaire packet. The sample was composed of 37.07% male athletes (n=139) and 65.93% female athletes (n=269). Measures in the study include Sports Passion Scale (SPS) and Athletic Engagement Questionnaire (AEQ). Ethical approval was gained from the participants. The findings reveal a direct and significant relationship between passion and athletes’ engagement in sports. These results highlight that passion shown by student athletes is a factor that determines a high level of engagement in sports among student-athletes. The interaction between passion and engagement highlights the need to establish a conducive atmosphere that fosters athletes’ interest in their sport, resulting in increased involvement in sports.

The primary objective of this study is to comprehensively evaluate and implement health and skill-related physical fitness tests as pre-assessment tools to assess students' physical fitness levels in educational settings. This study employed a descriptive evaluation technique to identify research problems. There are eight faculties in the Visayas State University, the sampling was open to all students who wanted to participate in the study and 273 respondents were obtained. To establish a standard, people with disabilities, immunocompromised and with a history of cardiovascular diseases were exempted from participating in physical fitness tests, as they have a different way of catching up with their health status. The study findings contribute to understanding the relationships between body composition and various facets of physical fitness. The insights gained from physical fitness testing serve as crucial reference points for designing effective and personalized physical activity programs. The negative correlation between BMI, muscular endurance and balance implies that people with higher BMI may benefit from specific exercises to improve these areas. In contrast, the positive correlation with agility suggests that agility-focused activities help those with higher BMI. The findings underscore the need for specific interventions essential to improve overall fitness and well-being, emphasizing the importance of addressing specific strengths and weaknesses through nuanced fitness programs tailored to individual profiles. Keywords: health, ability, physical condition, evaluation, fitness level.
