This study focuses on the motivational factors that affect business students’ participation in physical activity and the impact of such participation on their academic performance. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to business students in a Malaysian public university. Results indicate that of the eight motivational factors hypothesised as affecting students’ participation in physical activity, only enjoyment, physical appearance, physical condition, and competition/ego are found to be significant. The impact of the business students’ participation in physical activity on their academic performance is significant. Nonetheless, the relationship is negative, which indicates that being very active in physical activity could reduce the students’ cumulative grade point average (CGPA). The findings of this study add to the body of knowledge and can be a useful reference on the motivational factors that influence business students’ participation in physical activity and its negative relationship with academic performance. The findings could be used to help practitioners to create an intervention programme to promote physical activity and suggest solutions for students to achieve a university-life balance.
