Indonesia dianggap sebagai negara dengan aktivitas fisik yang cukup rendah, sehingga diperlukan promosi aktivitas fisik untuk pencegahan terhadap penyakit degeneratif dan kematian di usia muda. Trait kepribadian dianggap sebagai faktor psikologis kuat dalam identifikasi aktivitas fisik. Penelitian ini adalah survei analitik dengan rancangan cross-sectional pada 33 sampel usia 18-26 tahun yang rutin dan tidak rutin berolahraga. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa trait kepribadian berkontribusi sebesar 32% (p≤0,05) terhadap aktivitas fisik, khususnya trait ekstraversi, agreeableness, dan openness. Adanya perbedaan signifikan aktivitas fisik dan trait kepribadian antar gender dan rutinitas berolahraga, hal ini disarankan menjadi pertimbangan untuk penelitian lanjutan.
