Correlation of Time Management and Healthy Living with Academic Success in Physical Education

Abstract

Academic achievement in higher education is determined not only by intellectual ability but also by lifestyle and behavioral determinants. Among these, time management and healthy living have emerged as crucial factors influencing success, particularly for students pursuing Physical Education. Effective time management enables students to balance their academic responsibilities with physical training and personal commitments, while healthy living practices such as proper diet, adequate sleep, regular exercise, and mental well-being support cognitive efficiency and physical stamina.
This study investigates the correlation between time management, healthy living, and academic success among undergraduate Physical Education students. Using quantitative survey methods, standardized scales, and statistical analysis techniques, the study found that students with better time management and healthier lifestyles consistently outperformed their peers academically. Regression analysis revealed that these two factors jointly explained over 50% of the variance in academic performance.
