The result shows that there is significant relationship between the student-respondents demographic profile and their holistic development. The student’s age has a positive significant relationship with the emotional attributes. Likewise, positive significant relationship is depicted from student’s grade level and their physical, social, and emotional attributes. Positive significant relationship is also present in the number of days students exercise to the physical and social attributes. However, there is no significant relationship present at student’s gender and BMI to any of their holistic development. Furthermore, there is a positive significant relationship between the health-related physical fitness in terms of cardio-vascular endurance, strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination and student’s holistic development in terms of physical, social, mental and emotional attributes.
