Abstract

The study utilized a nonexperimental, quantitative descriptive research design. The sampling technique used was a purposive non-probability sampling design. There was a total of 404 undergraduate respondents, aged 18 years old and above and officially enrolled in De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute. The researchers adapted a modified tool questionnaire from the study of Manalo, Pequero, Rodriguez and Reyes (2018). The following statistical tests were used: mean, standard deviation, frequency, percentage, t-test and f-test or ANOVA. The study concluded that, 1) Majority of the respondents were aged 18 to 20 years old, female, and engaged in walking, 2) Respondents have high perception to the effects of aerobic exercise on their physical, emotional and mental wellbeing, 3) There were no significant differences on the effects of aerobic exercise on the wellbeing of the respondents when they were grouped according to age and sex. However, there were significant differences in the perceived effects of the aerobic exercise on the wellbeing of the respondents when they were grouped according to type of exercise they are engaged in.
