The strict implementation of Covid – 19 Health Protocol limits the human movements including physical activities. The educational system also shifts from traditional to flexible learning modality. This quantitative study aimed to determine the degree of influence of physical activity and student motivation in student engagement among college students. The regression analysis technique was utilized to determine the degree of the relationship between the two independent variables and a dependent variable. The researcher applied the cluster sampling technique in selecting the respondents. After the thorough investigation, the null hypothesis (p<0.05) were rejected. This study delineated that physical activity and student motivation have positively influenced student engagement. Among the three indicators in physical activity, physical education got the highest mean of 4.28 (very high), followed by a general attitude, which posted a mean of 4.23 (very high), and scientific basis, which attained a mean of 4.13 (high). Moreover, among the four indicators in student motivation, intrinsic value got the highest mean of 4.20 (very high), followed by self-regulation with a mean of 4.10 (high), cognitive strategy with a mean of 4.07 (high), and lastly, self-efficacy which got the lowest mean score of 3.68 (high). The study accentuated that physical activity and student motivation are critical to promoting student academic engagement among college students. The results will contribute to the improvement of student engagement which is deemed essential in academic success.
