This study aimed to determine the levels of physical fitness, physical activity, and learning motivation among eighth-grade public junior high school students in urban and rural areas of Garut Regency. This research employed a quantitative method with a descriptive comparative design. The research stages began with selecting a sample of 180 students from the population using a random sampling technique based on the Slovin formula with a seven percent margin of error. Prior to the main data collection stages, the English version of the validity and reliability tests had been conducted on 25 individuals to strictly ensure the instrument's accuracy. Subsequently, data were carefully collected using the Indonesian Student Fitness Test Phase D, the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents, and a specific learning motivation questionnaire. Finally, the collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, homogeneity tests, and independent samples t-tests. The results showed a significant difference in physical fitness between rural and urban areas for both male and female students. Regarding physical activity, a significant difference was found among female students, while no significant difference was found among male students. Meanwhile, learning motivation did not show a significant difference among either male or female junior high school students.
