RECOMMENDATION PMC should make some improvement in sport facilities, equipment and spaces that are suitable for, and accessible to, girls and boys. Too often community sport facilities are inaccessible to girls and boys because of distance, safety concerns, lack of proper shower and change facilities, or tendencies to give girls and boys priority in their use. While sorting the questionnaire from respondents, we found that most of them want sport facilities in PMC to be upgrade such as the gymnasium, the field, spor sportt cour courts ts.. Not Not just just that that,, we also also foun found d that that,, ther theree are are lack lackss of spor sports ts equipment, especially bicycles, badminton rackets and tennis rackets. Therefore, we suggest that sports facilities in PMC should be upgrade so more students can spend their evening by doing such great activities with the facilities provided. Perhaps in future, other matriculation college or any universities can do the 14
same research and way to overcome overcome this problem problem so student can lead a healthy lifestyle.
CONCLUSION When students first enter college, their diets often deteriorate and they often gain weight. There are many factors responsible for these changes. However, there are also several actions that can be taken to avoid the weight gain and decline in diet quality that may occur during the college years. There are many actions that college students can take to eat in a healthful way and enjoy their college years without jeopardizing their health from excessive weight gain or weight loss. Student need to exercise regularly. Physical activity helps burn off calories, helps manage stress, and promotes mental and physical stamina.
