Abstract: This study explores the applicability of SIPARNIS sports on the physical fitness components and cognitive aspects of college students enrolled in the PATHFIT 3 program. SIPARNIS, a hybrid martial arts regimen blending Taekwondo and Arnis, is a culturally relevant sports model introduced in Rizal, Philippines, aiming to foster holistic student development. The increasing prevalence of sedentary lifestyles among college students, often due to academic pressures, has highlighted the need for effective interventions to improve physical and cognitive health. This study evaluates the impact of SIPARNIS Sports on physical fitness components such as cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, and coordination, as well as cognitive skills including decision-making, problem-solving, and cognitive flexibility. The study also assesses whether these effects vary according to students' academic backgrounds, sex, and course of study. Guided by Cognitive Load Theory (Sweller, 1988), which posits that structured physical activity can reduce cognitive load while enhancing cognitive functions, this research investigates how SIPARNIS Sports contributes to students' academic and personal development. A descriptive-comparative-correlational research design was employed, using a structured questionnaire to collect quantitative data from 72 students enrolled in the PATHFIT 3 program. Statistical techniques, including descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, and Pearson’s correlation, were applied to analyze the data. The results demonstrate that SIPARNIS Sports positively influences both physical fitness and cognitive development, with improvements observed in cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, muscular strength, and cognitive flexibility, as well as decision-making and problem-solving abilities. No significant differences were found based on sex or academic course, indicating the universal applicability of the program. In conclusion, SIPARNIS Sports effectively enhances physical fitness and cognitive skills, providing a comprehensive approach to student well-being. The study recommends that educational institutions consider integrating SIPARNIS or similar programs into the physical education curriculum to foster overall student development and academic success.
