1.0 Introduction

1.1 Background of Study

Sports is an activity that can increase a person's physical and mental strength. Sports
activities are highly encouraged to the whole community regardless of age. But sports are more
encouraging for young people to do it as a routine of their lives. Since the young people of
today are mostly students, then we can be specific to this group as students. Sports activities
are very important to control a person's physical and mental health, especially students who are
active in seeking knowledge from time to time. A student should improve their mental and
physical health to produce a student who is productive and efficient in his or her life
achievements. There is no doubt that students will not run away from stress, weak body,
confused mind and so on. No wonder why some students choose to make sports routines as
part of their daily routine. But each individual has a different view of the purpose of their doing a
sporting routine. Some of them do not make sports routines a part of their routine as a student
and also didn’t open their mind about the benefits of sports .So, to study more deeply on this
issue, it is very suitable to study sports routines among UiTM Alor Gajah students.

Therefore, this study aimed to figure out what sports do they usually do, to identify what
gender like the sports the most, to investigate how many times students do sports in a week, to
find out the reasons why they like to do a sports routine and what maximum times does they
prefer to play a sport among UiTM Alor Gajah students.

4.0 Conclusion
Games and sports are the main elements of student life. This is because games and sports can
control physical and mental health that can contribute to the growth of the human body.
However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it has prevented UiTM Alor Gajah students from
sporting large numbers. According to the statistics we conducted, most of the students of UiTM
Alor Gajah do sports 1 time a week and almost all UiTM Alor Gajah students do sports at home.
This can give them the comfort to play sports at home as there is no need to wear a mask while
playing sports. In addition, sports is the best way for UiTM Alor Gajah students in honing their
self-sufficiency in terms of leadership, teamwork and success determinants. According to the
research we have done on UiTM Alor Gajah students, they do sports to reduce stress. This is
because a lot of tasks cause them stress and to reduce stress, they play sports. This is one of
the good things because not only can sports reduce the stress of students of UiTM Alor Gajah
but also improve blood circulation in the student's body. Therefore, sports is an effective
method in improving the body health of students of UiTM Alor Gajah as well as producing
students with creative and innovative thinking.
