ABSTRACT
Health is a hope or desire of everyone. Having good health is of course followed by activities or sports activities or regular and continuous physical activity. This study seeks to reveal the relationship between awareness of physical activity and the health level of the people of West Java, Indonesia. This study uses a quantitative method with a correlational approach. Respondents in this study were the people of West Java, which consisted of 27 cities/districts. This research was conducted using a cross sectional study method, involving 18,450 people from West Java in 27 districts/cities and 110 subdistricts as respondents. The data for this study were taken from the Health Index Data owned by the West Java Health Office. Meanwhile, the data for awareness of physical activity and sports activity were taken from the West Java "Sports Community Participation Rate" (APMO). The data obtained were then analyzed using bivariate Pearson correlation analysis using the SPSS application. Based on the results of the study, it was obtained data that the people of West Java were very weak and were considered also not fond of doing sports (with a sports branch approach). This proves that there is indeed no relationship between sports activity and the level of public health in West Java (0.849 > 0.05). However, significant data were obtained on the relationship between physical activity and the health level of the people of West Java (0.000 <0.05). In addition, it is also known that the reason for the people of West Java to do physical activity is to maintain their health.
