Description
College students are faced with an immense amount of pressure coming from a variety of areas in their lives. The pressure experienced shows impact on college student’s academic performance, usually in a negative manner. There are multiple factors that play into the pressure experienced. There are also multiple methods to reduce the pressure experienced. One may wonder about the relationship between how strong of self-efficacy a person has, described as how effective one feels they are in performing tasks, and measured academic performance. This study focuses on the relationship between an individual’s level of self-efficacy, amount of physical activity accomplished weekly, with a measured academic performance. This relationship is important as an individual’s self-efficacy levels, and amount of physical exercise performed, could predict an individual’s academic performance. Therefore, it is important to study this to note whether self-efficacy and physical activity levels contribute positively or negatively towards academic performance. It is noted in research that there are methods, such as physical activity, to help reduce the stressors of the environment in order to maintain a positive self-efficacy.
