Abstract

This study explored the perceptions and self-assessed fitness behaviors of Sports Strand students at Muntinlupa National High School following the implementation of the Physical Fitness Test (PFT). Grounded in the DepEd K to 12 Curriculum and Republic Act No. 10533, the research aimed to determine how the PFT influences student motivation, goal-setting, and physical health awareness. Using a descriptive quantitative design, data were collected from 30 Grade 12 students through a validated Likert-scale questionnaire. Results revealed that students had a generally positive perception of the PFT, recognizing its value in assessing fitness and promoting self-awareness. The PFT was found to encourage increased physical activity, consistency in fitness routines, and more serious tracking of personal health goals. A strong and statistically significant correlation (r = 0.76, p
