This research study examined the extent of the relationship between the levels of physical activity and self-leadership of executive leaders in higher education. A survey methodology utilizing two valid and reliable instruments, the Revised Self-Leadership Questionnaire and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire were used. After a three-week data collection period, 294 cleaned and complete surveys remained for the data analysis. The results of the data analysis indicate that there is not a significant relationship between total physical activity and global self-leadership (r = -0.006, p = 0.41) and total physical activity and self-leadership's subcategories, constructive thought-focused (r = -0.014), behavior-focused (r = 0.025), and natural reward-focused(r = -0.049). Conclusions are summarized and recommendations for future research are provided. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
