The study examined the associations among social media self-presentation and upward social comparison, body dissatisfaction, and exercise addiction among 168 Filipino university students. Using a cross-sectional correlational design and regression-based mediation analysis, the study explored whether body dissatisfaction statistically accounted for part of the association between social-media-related self-presentation/comparison and exercise-addiction risk.

The findings showed that female students reported higher upward social comparison and exercise-addiction scores than male students, while self-presentation and body dissatisfaction did not significantly differ by s*x. In the overall sample, social media self-presentation and upward social comparison were positively associated with both body dissatisfaction and exercise addiction, while body dissatisfaction was also positively associated with exercise addiction.

A small but statistically significant indirect association through body dissatisfaction was observed in the overall sample and among female respondents. Among males, the indirect estimate was similar in magnitude but did not reach statistical significance. Importantly, the study carefully emphasizes that these patterns reflect cross-sectional statistical associations rather than causal pathways or mechanisms.

The study underscores the value of non-stigmatizing health education on curated social media content, appearance comparison, balanced exercise, and warning signs of compulsive exercise, particularly within PATHFIT and university wellness settings.

Congratulations to Mr. Masagca on this noteworthy international scholarly achievement and on contributing to a deeper understanding of the intersections among social media, body image, and exercise behavior among university students!

The study examined muscular endurance and perceived stress reactivity among 129 non-athlete students enrolled in PATHFIT at a Philippine state university. Using a cross-sectional correlational design, the research compared male and female students across muscular endurance and stress-reactivity measures and examined whether the two domains were statistically associated.

The findings showed that male students obtained higher scores in the push-up, wall-sit, and plank tests, while female students reported higher prolonged stress reactivity, reactivity to social conflict, failure, social evaluation, and overall perceived stress reactivity. Reactivity to work overload, however, did not significantly differ by s*x.

Importantly, the regression analyses did not detect statistically significant associations between muscular endurance scores and perceived stress reactivity in the overall sample or within the male and female subgroups. Rather than treating physical fitness and stress management as interchangeable outcomes, the study suggests that PATHFIT programs may approach muscular endurance development and stress-management competencies as complementary educational targets.

This research contributes to global development efforts aligned with Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), 4 (Quality Education), and 5 (Gender Equality).

Congratulations to Mr. Masagca on this noteworthy international scholarly achievement and on contributing evidence to a more nuanced understanding of physical fitness, stress reactivity, and s*x-related differences among Filipino university students!

The study examined the associations of grandiose and vulnerable narcissism with exercise addiction among 103 Filipino collegiate students enrolled in a Physical Activity Towards Health and Fitness course..

The findings revealed notable s*x-specific patterns. Male students reported significantly higher levels of narcissistic grandiosity and exercise addiction than female students, while vulnerable narcissism did not significantly differ between the groups. Regression analyses further showed that among female students, both grandiose and vulnerable narcissism were significantly associated with exercise addiction, whereas among male students, only grandiose narcissism showed a significant association. Across the full sample, both narcissistic dimensions were significantly related to exercise addiction.

The study highlights the importance of understanding how appearance concerns, social validation, self-image, and emotional vulnerability may intersect with compulsive exercise behaviors among university students. It also underscores the value of gender-sensitive and culturally responsive wellness programs that promote healthier exercise motivations, positive self-image, emotional regulation, and early recognition of problematic exercise patterns.

This research contributes to global development efforts aligned with Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), 4 (Quality Education), and 5 (Gender Equality).

Congratulations to A/P Antonio on this noteworthy international scholarly achievement and on contributing to a deeper understanding of the psychological and social dimensions of exercise behavior among Filipino university students!

The review mapped 1,033 Scopus-indexed records published from 2015 to 2025 to examine how bodybuilding and physique-centered sport scholarship has developed across performance science, nutrition, enhancement practices, health, body image, and cultural inquiry.

The findings revealed a multidisciplinary field shaped by a continuing tension between physique optimization and its physiological, psychological, and social consequences. Training and nutrition remained strong foundations of the literature, while anabolic-androgenic steroids, health-risk surveillance, muscle dysmorphia, body image, and emerging forms of digital physique visibility also occupied significant positions within the research landscape.

The review also identified important gaps in who becomes visible within bodybuilding research. Explicit references to male bodybuilders and physique athletes were considerably more common than references to female populations, while recreational, natural, adaptive, and several competitive divisions remained comparatively underrepresented. These patterns point to continuing concerns involving diversity, athlete welfare, harm reduction, and the long-term sustainability of physique-centered sport.

This research contributes to global development efforts aligned with Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), 5 (Gender Equality), 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

Congratulations to Mr. Serrano and Dr. Lobo on this noteworthy international scholarly achievement and on advancing critical research on bodybuilding, athlete health, body image, equity, and physique-centered sport!

The study examined the relationship between dietary behavior and physical activity among 366 tertiary students in a Philippine state university, while considering family and socioeconomic background as important contextual factors.

The findings revealed a mixed health profile. Many students reported moderate to vigorous physical activity, yet they also spent an average of about five hours per day in sedentary behavior. Students who were sufficiently active generally reported higher intake of several healthier food groups, while financial limitations were associated with meal skipping and restricted access to nutrient-dense foods.

The study further highlights that dietary practices and physical activity are closely associated with socioeconomic conditions, reinforcing the need for universities to approach student wellness through integrated and context-sensitive strategies. The authors recommend accessible healthy food options, nutrition education, structured opportunities for physical activity, and institutional partnerships that can better support students facing financial and lifestyle constraints.

This research contributes to global development efforts aligned with Sustainable Development Goals 2 (Zero Hunger), 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), 4 (Quality Education), 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

Congratulations to Dr. Lobo and the research team on this noteworthy international scholarly achievement and on contributing evidence toward healthier, more equitable, and supportive university environments!

The College proudly congratulates 𝗗𝗥. 𝗝𝗢𝗦𝗘𝗣𝗛 𝗧𝗢𝗟𝗘𝗗𝗢 𝗟𝗢𝗕𝗢 (Assistant Professor IV / Associate Dean / Research Coordinator). on the publication of his article titled: ““𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙣, 𝙘𝙞𝙧𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙙?”: 𝗔 𝗯𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 (2015–2025)

Published in 𝙎𝙉 𝙎𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙎𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨, 6, 466 — a Scopus [Q2]-indexed international journal of 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. The study mapped 1,149 Scopus-indexed documents published from 2015 to 2025 to examine the growth, conceptual organization, intellectual foundations, and emerging directions of contemporary sport media scholarship

The review shows that sport media research has moved beyond traditional questions of coverage and broadcasting toward a broader concern with platformed visibility — how athletes, teams, identities, and sporting narratives are produced, circulated, amplified, commercially valued, and unequally represented across journalism, social media, branding, fan engagement, and digital platforms. The field has grown rapidly but remains interdisciplinary and fragmented across sport communication, sport management, journalism, media sociology, and critical-cultural scholarship.

The study further identifies six interconnected conceptual strands involving journalism and broadcasting, social media and fan engagement, athlete branding and sport marketing, gender and representation, athlete self-presentation, and strategic communication. It argues that increased digital visibility should not automatically be interpreted as democratization, as longstanding inequalities involving gender, race, disability, nationality, and cultural recognition can persist or be reproduced within newer media environments.

As a major conceptual contribution, the article advances 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 as an integrative lens and proposes a four-part cross-disciplinary research agenda centered on production and authority, circulation and amplification, participation and valuation, and representation and unequal consequences.

This research contributes to global development efforts aligned with Sustainable Development Goals 5 (Gender Equality), 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), 10 (Reduced Inequalities), 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

Congratulations to Dr. Lobo on this noteworthy international scholarly achievement and on advancing critical scholarship at the intersection of sport, media, platforms, representation, and digital visibility!

Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the research tested both direct relationships and the mediating role of perceived peer support.

The findings showed that teacher autonomy support was significantly and positively associated with deep learning and perceived peer support, while peer support was likewise significantly associated with students’ deep learning. More importantly, peer support partially mediated the association between teacher autonomy support and deep learning, indicating that autonomy-supportive teaching may be linked with deeper learning both directly and through a more supportive and collaborative peer environment.

The study underscores the value of moving tertiary PE beyond rigid and teacher-centered instruction toward learning environments where students experience choice, ownership, collaboration, and meaningful peer interaction. Its findings reinforce the importance of integrating autonomy-supportive pedagogy and structured peer collaboration to promote deeper cognitive engagement and more student-centered learning in Physical Education.

This research contributes to global development efforts aligned with Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and 4 (Quality Education).

Congratulations to Dr. Lobo on this noteworthy international scholarly achievement and on another contribution to advancing student-centered, autonomy-supportive, and socially responsive Physical Education in Philippine higher education!

Published in 𝙒𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙎𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙋𝙝𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙅𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙡, 34(1), 1–15 — a Scopus [Q2] and Web of Science [Emerging Sources Citation Index ESCI]-indexed international journal published by Human Kinetics, in partnership with the University of North Carolina at Greensboro’s Program for the Advancement of Girls and Women in Sport and Physical Activity. Human Kinetics is an international publisher specializing in scholarly and professional resources across sport, physical activity, kinesiology, health, and related fields.

Drawing on 1,173 Scopus-indexed documents across 520 sources, the study mapped a decade of gender equity scholarship in sport, Physical Education, and physical activity. The findings revealed that the field has moved beyond simply asking whether women are visible or represented toward deeper questions of whether they are supported, trusted, recognized, resourced, and given genuine opportunities to lead.

The review further showed that gender equity scholarship has become increasingly interdisciplinary, connecting participation, leadership, coaching, pedagogy, media visibility, institutional power, and knowledge production. Yet, the research landscape remains uneven, with scholarly authority and international collaboration still concentrated largely within influential Anglophone and European research systems.

Moving beyond numerical representation, the article advances a 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮 centered on opportunity, authority, knowledge geopolitics, and intersectional accountability. It argues that genuine equity requires examining not only who gains entry into sport and movement spaces, but also who receives support after entry, whose expertise is trusted, whose knowledge becomes authoritative, and who is ultimately allowed to lead.

This research contributes to global development efforts aligned with Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), 4 (Quality Education), 5 (Gender Equality), 10 (Reduced Inequalities), 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

Congratulations to Dr. Lobo and the research team on this noteworthy international scholarly achievement and on contributing to the continuing global conversation on gender equity, women’s leadership, inclusion, and structural transformation in sport and movement spaces!
