Stress is a prevalent challenge among college students, particularly those in demanding academic programs like the Bachelor of Physical Education (BPED). Academic responsibilities, social expectations, financial constraints, and environmental pressures significantly impact students' mental and emotional well-being. This study aimed to evaluate the role of physical activities in mitigating stress among BPED students at Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges. Specifically, it examined the perceived levels of stress across academic, social, family, financial, and environmental domains and assessed the effectiveness of physical activities categorized into light, moderate, and vigorous intensities in reducing stress. A descriptive research design was utilized, involving a survey questionnaire as the primary data-gathering tool. Stratified sampling was used to select 147 BPED students (75 females and 72 males) from first, second, and third-year levels. Statistical tools, including weighted mean and percentage analysis, were employed to interpret the data. The findings revealed that BPED students experience "very stressful" levels of stress, with academic, financial, and environmental stressors being the most significant. Students who regularly engaged in physical activities reported reduced stress levels, improved mood, enhanced focus, and heightened self-confidence. Vigorous and moderate-intensity activities, such as jogging, weight training, and dancing, were found to be particularly effective in alleviating stress, while light-intensity activities helped maintain mobility and reduce sedentary behavior. It is recommended that institutions develop comprehensive physical activity programs, improve access to sports facilities, and provide targeted stress management interventions to promote student health and academic performance.
