Background: Physical activity is an important determinant of physical and psychological health and may be associated with life satisfaction and academic performance among college students.

Aim: To determine the correlation between physical activity, satisfaction with life, and academic performance among college students.

Methods: A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted among 109 college students aged 18–25 years using convenience sampling. Physical activity was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire–Short Form (IPAQ-SF), satisfaction with life using the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and academic performance using academic performance percentage.

Pearson’s correlation coefficient was calculated from the master dataset.

Results: In the 109-participant dataset, physical activity showed a small negative, non-significant correlation with satisfaction with life (r = -0.132, p = 0.172), a negligible negative, non-significant correlation with academic performance (r = -0.032, p = 0.742), and satisfaction with life showed a negligible positive, non-significant correlation with academic performance (r = 0.031, p = 0.749).
