description The purpose of this study is to determine whether academic confidence predicts university physical education students' physical activity (PA) engagement. This employed a quantitative, descriptive-correlation method with 362 respondents and utilized validated standardized instruments. Stratified random sampling was used to obtain an equal representation of participants. The Academic Confidence Questionnaire and International Physical Activity Questionnaire were the instruments employed and validated to contextualize the items using Google Forms to gather the respondents' responses. In analyzing the data gathered, mean was used to identify the levels of academic confidence and PA engagement, Pearson r was used to determine the relationship between academic confidence and PA engagement, and regression was used to determine whether academic confidence predicts PA engagement of the students. The results showed that the academic confidence level was high while the PA engagement was moderate. The results also revealed a significant relationship between academic confidence and PA engagement. Finally, the results exhibited that academic confidence significantly predicts PA Engagement among university physical education students.
