520			_aAbstract: This study aims to assess the perceived benefits and barriers of exercise among first and second year allied health students and their likelihood to engage in exercise. A cross-sectional analytic study was conducted among regular freshman and sophomore allied health students at Far Eastern University-Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation for the school year 2022-2023. A total of 150 participants were selected through simple random sampling. An online survey using the Exercise Benefits and Barriers Scale was conducted to collect data on the perceived benefits and barriers of exercise and exercise engagement levels. The study results suggest that the primary perceived benefit of exercise among first and second year allied medical health students is its ability to improve physical fitness levels, as reflect by a mean score of 3.71 on the scale. Moreover, the study revealed that social interaction had the lowest perceived benefit with a mean score of 2.82. Additionally, the study examined participants' perception of exercise barriers and found a mean score of 2.22, indicating disagreement with the existence of barriers. Among the barriers, fatigue received the highest mean score (3.05), while the lowest score was for the perception that people in exercise clothes look funny (1.36). The study revealed a significant negative correlation between respondents' perceptions of exercise benefits and barriers, indicating that as the perception of benefits increased, the perception of barriers decreased, and vice versa. Addressing perceived barriers could improve exercise engagement by highlighting exercise benefits, emphasizing the importance of perceived exercise benefits and barriers in exercise engagement among allied health students The study found that allied health students strongly perceive the benefits of exercise, particularly in terms of physical fitness. Meanwhile, they had a lower perception of the social benefits of exercise. The participants also disagreed that barriers exists during exercise, particularly the perception of people in exercise clothes. The study highlights the importance of perceived exercise benefits and barriers in exercise engagement among allied health students.
