The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which first-year college students' perceptions of their high school physical education experiences have influenced their current levels of physical activity and enjoyment of physical activity. This study provided information on the activities included in high school physical education curriculums, as well as the frequency and the types of physical activities enjoyed by first-year college students. The following three research questions framed this study: (1) What are the first-year college students' perceptions of their high school physical education experiences? (2) What is the relationship between the frequency of high school physical education activities and the first-year college students' current level of physical activity? (3) What is the relationship between the enjoyment of high school physical education activities and the first-year college students' enjoyment of physical activity? The methodology of this quantitative study was an online anonymous cross-sectional survey given to first-year college students during the fall semester. In this nonexperimental, correlational designed study, descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. This study found that strength training was the most frequent high school physical education activity completed. Over 80% of the participants reported enjoying a variety of high school physical education activities with group games being the most enjoyable followed by strength training. This study also found that the frequency of three high school physical education activities had a positive relationship with the frequency of all the current physical activities completed by the first-year college students. Lastly, the study determined that if a participant enjoyed a high school physical education activity, they enjoyed that same type of physical activity as a first-year college student. Based on the findings, it was concluded that other physical activities should be included in the high school physical education curriculum more frequently, along with the continuation of strength training and team sports. Recommendations were made to educators to inquire about the physical activities that students enjoy. With the decrease in physical activity by college students, it is recommended that higher education administrators find ways to encourage college students to be physically active.
