Abstract
Diagnostic research design was applied to examine the significance of sports facility and equipment provisions, and nutritional status as determinants of sports performance. The study was conducted in two high school institutions located in the third congressional district of Davao City, Philippines. Through stratified random sampling, 245 respondents were selected in two high school institutions in Davao City. Using multiple linear regression analysis, it was found that sports facilities, equipment, and nutritional status significantly influence sports performance, partially supporting Social-Ecological Theory, particularly the organizational and individual levels. Future research may explore additional variables to explain the remaining 67.2% of sports performance variance, using exploratory studies and factor analysis, while educational leaders may implement programs on facilities, equipment, and nutrition to enhance student-athlete performance.
Keywords: Influence of sports facility and equipment provisions, nutritional status, sports performance, high school student-athletes.
