.Abstract
Physical fitness plays a crucial role in the health and professional performance of health science
and physiotherapy students. Despite their cognizance of the significance of physical activity,
recent trends indicate a decline in fitness levels among this cohort. This literature review examines
current research on physical fitness trends, the factors influencing them, and potential
interventions. Findings reveal that academic stress, sedentary lifestyles, and digital screen
exposure contribute to reduced physical activity. However, structured exercise programs, digital
interventions, and behavioral strategies have demonstrated efficacy in improving fitness levels.
This review underscores the necessity of integrating physical activity into academic curricula to
promote lifelong fitness habits among health science students.
