For the purpose of conducting this study, a questionnaire which was modified from the Exercise Motivations Inventory and Participation Motivation Questionnaire was employed to  assess the intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors that affect their involvement in physical activities. Results from this study exposed that the highest min value for extrinsic motivational factor is related to health and fitness (M = 4.37) while for extrinsic motivational factor, the highest is peers and friends (M = 3.97). Findings from this study also revealed that there is a significant difference in their involvement centred on intrinsic motivational factor of health and fitness (t = -5.05, p < 0.05) and the motivational factor related to the physical body (t = -6.51, p < 0.05) based on gender. While on the extrinsic motivational factor aspect, it revealed that only the family factor (t = -6.98, p < 0.05) showed a significant difference based on gender. Next, this study also found that the intrinsic motivational factor related to the physical body (52%) is the leading motivational factor that has left the biggest impact on students’ involvement while for the extrinsic motivational factor aspect, the role of the university (40%) is the leading factor when student involvement is of concern.
