Physical education (PE) has the proven potential to promote participation in physical activity. Therefore it is important to study PE enjoyment in relation to the effectiveness of PE in secondary schools in promoting active lifestyles. The objectives is to provide the enjoyment profile among selected secondary school around Kuching Sarawak and to study relationship between enjoyment and participation in physical activity among secondary schools students in Kuching, Sarawak.

The research involved two daily schools, two elite schools and two missionary schools. Measurements were carried out by administrating two sets of questionnaire which are shorter versions of the international questionnaire for physical activity (IPAQ) and the physical education enjoyment questionnaire (PEEPQ). For analytical purposes, descriptive statistics were used for primary measures, and the Pearson correlation coefficient analysis was performed to examine the relationship between PE enjoyments and total physical activity scores. Activity Generated Excitement (AGE) revealed the strongest processes of enjoyment in this study. However, there was no significant relationship between PE enjoyment and participation in physical activity (p>0.05) among the selected secondary schools student around Kuching, Sarawak. This research finding support that the Activity Generated Excitement process is the most important factor influencing enjoyment in PE experience. Therefore, the PE class should consider this process in order to promote enjoyment among adolescents.
