Table 4.1 Breakdown of participants according to gender and faculty. From the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FKM), 3 (5%) female and 3 (5%) male participated in this study. Then, from Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering and Technology Management (FKPPT), the participants are 15 (25%) female and 12 (20%) male. Next, from the Faculty of Chemical and Natural Resources Engineering (FKKSA), there are only 2(3.3%) female participants and male participants are also with the same number 2(3.3%). Then 5 (8.3%) female students and 3 (5%) male students in this study are from Faculty of Civil Engineering and Earth Resources (FKASA). Next participants are from Faculty of Software Engineering and Computer System (FSKKP) where the female are about 3 (5%), while 4 (6.6%) are male. Then, from the Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (FKEE) , there are seven participants involved in the study where 2 (3.3%) of the participants are female and another 5 (8.3%) are male. Lastly is the participants from Faculty of Industrial Sciences and Technology (FIST) that there is only 1 (1.6%) male student who participated in this study. 4.2 RESEARCH QUESTION 1 : Do UMP Students Exercise? Figure 4.1 Number of students that exercise The bar chart above (see Figure 4.1) shows the number of students that exercise among UMP students. As shown in the bar chart, majority of students are exercise which are about 49 students that contributed to 81.67%. Meanwhile the students who do not exercise is 11 (18.33%). So, from this result, it can be concluded that UMP students mostly do exercise which contributed to its highest amount of agreement of students. Figure 4.2 Important of exercise The pie chart indicates (see Figure 4.2) the percentage of students that agree and disagree about the important of exercise. According to the chart, majority of UMP students 58 (97%) are agree that exercise is important and in the same time those UMP students who disagree about importance of exercise is only 2 (3%). Therefore, it proved that exercise is very important as the highest percentage shows students are agree with it. Figure 4.3 Numbers of criteria influences UMP students to do exercise The bar chart above (see figure 4.3) shows the criterias that influence UMP students to do exercise. According to the chart, it can be said that friends is the criteria that influence students the most to exercise as it shows the highest percentage that is 27 (45%). Meanhile, only 14 (23.33%) of students that said there is nothing that influence themsleves to exercise other than theirselves. Then, 8 (13.33%) of UMP students state that the weather affect them to exercise. Besides that, a few of UMP students give no answer about this statement and there are six students who did it which contributed to (10%). From the survay also only 3 (5%) UMP students answered that they exercise if they have free time. It can be concluded that UMP students mostly exercise if there are friends with them. Figure 4.4 Percentage of hours per week that UMP students do exercise The pie chart above (see figure 4.4) shows the hours per week UMP students exercise. It illustrated on how many hours per week UMP students do exercise. According to the chart, most of UMP students 14 (23%) do exercise around two hours. Next, 11 (18%) of students do exercise for an hour. Three hours for exercise was contributed to 8 (14%). Then, 5 (8%) of UMP students do exercise for five hours. Besides that, the number of students who do exercise for 6 and 7 hours are the same which contributed to 4 (7%). Other than that, only 2 (3%) of UMP students are do exercise for 4 and 11 hours. Then, only 1 (2%) of UMP students exercises for twelve hours per week. However, 9 (15%) of UMP students are not exercise. It is contributed to high percentage of study. Figure 4.5 Percentage of when UMP students exercise. The bar chart above (see figure 4.5) demonstrates the number of UMP students who gives their respond about when they do exercise. From the survey, we can see that most of UMP students 34 (56%) do exercise on evening. Next, students who do exercise on night contributed to 10 (17%) and on morning contributed to 9 (15%). The number of student who votes others time to do exercise contributed to 1 (2%) Although, 6 (10%) of students does not gives a comment. The result for our group survey was UMP students do exercise everyday and day take some alternative to do exercise everyday on specific time. Figure 4.6 Percentage of where UMP students do exercise. The pie chart above (see Figure 4.6), we can see that percentage of UMP students who give their opinion about where they do exercise. From the survey we see that a majority of UMP students 37 (61%) do exercise outdoor compared which do exercise indoor that contributed 19 (32%). Besides that, 4 (7%) UMP students given no comment about where their do exercise. It can be concluded that probably many UMP students like do exercise outdoor because their do exercise in group. That means, UMP students can reduce boring when do exercise in group and reduce stress with assignment, test, project and so on . An example of exercise outdoor is walking, jogging and football. 4.4 RESEARCH QUESTION 2 : Why UMP students exercise? Figure 4.7. Number of students who enjoy to do exercise.

The pie chart above (see figure 4.8) indicates the percentage of opinion that exercise can reduce stress. As shown in the chart, strongly agree and agree has the highest percentage that is 50 (83%) compared who those strongly disagree and disagree that only contributed to 10 (17%). As a conclusion, exercise can really reduce stress among UMP students. Figure 4.9 Degree of agreement of students that exercise can makes them energetic. From the bar chart above (see figure 4.9), it can be seen that the number of UMP students who gives their opinion about the benefit of exercise. From the survey, majority of UMP students 50 (83%) agree that exercise can make them feel energetic and at the same time in comparison to only 10 (17%) UMP students that disagree. This clearly indicates that UMP students feel energetic when they exercise as there is body movement. Figure 4.10 Number of students that do exercise when stress. The columns chart above (see figure 4.10) demonstrates the number of students who do exercise when stress. According to the chart the highest number of student who does agree contributed to 21 (35%) compared to who strongly agree which contributed to 9 (15%). Another opinion is strongly disagree contributed to 12 (20%) and disagree is contributed to 18 (30%). It can be concluded that the number of student who agree and disagree are the same, 30 (50%). So, UMP students can be in both situation that eventhough they stress they will exercise and they also will exercise although they are not stress. Figure 4.11 Percentage on how UMP students do exercise The columns chart above (see figure 4.11) illustrates the number of UMP students who gives their opinion about exercise which can prevents them from any disease. According to the chart students who does agree contributed to 51(85%) compared to other opinion while disagree is the least being voted which is 6 (10%). It is followed by no comment which is 3 (5%). As a conclusion, most of UMP student do exercise to control and maintain their health. They also have awareness about the importance of exercise. Figure 4.12 Exercise can prevents student from any disease. The pie chart above (see figure 4.12) indicates the number of UMP students who gives their opinion about exercise whether can affect their daily activity or not. From the survey, most of UMP students that is 35 (59%) agree that exercise can affects their daily day activities and at the same time about 20 (33%) of UMP students is in the other hand with it . Besides that, 5 (8%) of students do not give any response. So, UMP students know how to manage their time to do an exercise at the same time they face the problems in daily activities. Figure 4.13 Percentage of students that agree and disagree that exercise affects their daily activities. The bar chart above (see figure 4.13) demonstrates the number of UMP students who gives their respond about when they do exercise. From the survey, we can see that most of UMP students 34 (56%) do exercise in the evening. Next, students who do exercise on night contributed to 10 (17%) and in the morning it contributed to 9 (15%). The number of student who votes for other time to do exercise contributed to 1 (2%). The rest that is 6 (10%) of students does not gives any comment. Therefore, it can be concluded that most UMP students prefer to exercise in the evening as it is the time for them to rest their mind or else.
