Data analysis showed that nutritional status had a sig value of 0.007 < ρvalue (sig) 0.05, with a determination coefficient of 47%. Thus, Ho1 was rejected, and Ha1 was accepted. Therefore, there is an affiliation between nutritional status and physical fitness level of 47%. Meanwhile, exercise habits had a sig value of 0.922 > ρvalue (sig) 0.05. Thus, Ho2 was accepted, and Ha2 was rejected. Therefore, there is no relationship between exercise habits and physical fitness level. The Logistic Regression results showed a sig. Value of 0.215. This indicates that sig (0.397) > alpha 0.05 means H0 is accepted and H1 is rejected. Thus, there is no affiliation between nutritional status, exercise habits, and physical fitness level. It can be concluded that there is no significant relationship between nutritional status and exercise habits with physical fitness levels among students at SMP N 4 Bandar Seikijang.
