INTRODUCTION
Physical Education (PE) instructors encountered health-related conditions due to some reasons of detrimental practices which affect their job performance. Hence, engaging in different physical activities will contribute to effective and efficient PE teaching practices in which instructors are the role models to the PE students. The success and failure of educational activities highly depend on their performance (Amin et al., 2013). This must be also supported by their ethics (Ahmad, 2021). Mouloud et al. (2016) specified the job satisfaction of employees is associated with psychological and physical health. Engaging physical activity is associated with healthy lifestyles adding to most favorable health, fitness and wellness (Ohuruogu, 2016). However, teacher's stress is also a problem in schools because of its effects on job performance (Hanif et al., 2011). Hence, optimistic health practices are needed (Ayres et al., 2010). Further, health capacity must hold the four aspects of life (Vida et al., 2014). Several studies have been conducted on health status of PE instructors in some universities and colleges. However, there was no specific study on health-related factors.
Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the health status and job performance of PE instructors in higher education institutions. An empirical investigation must be performed to look at the physical condition and health lifestyle with its relationship to the job performance of PE instructors.

METHODS
The survey method used a questionnaire adapted in gathering the data to examine the significant relationship between the health status and job performance and job performance of the PE instructors in HEIs Region XII. We utilized modified instruments. For the data analysis, after collecting the data, which were the distributed questionnaires and the borrowed documents on demographic profile of participants, health-related predictors, job performance, and the diversity quotient of PE instructors these were processed, presented, analyzed and interpreted parallel to the problem (Mulyawati & Ramadhan, 2021). The quantitative data was collected using survey questionnaires. Descriptive analysis was utilized using the frequency response distribution, which included the computation of mean. Descriptive Correlation Design (Stangor, 2011) and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (Sedgwick, 2012) were utilized to explain the significant relationship between the health-related factors and job performance of PE instructors.

Demographic Profile
The demographic profile is defined as statistical data about the characteristics of people particularly among PE instructors such as: (1) Age has been characterized in this study as the time span that a PE instructor has lived or thing has existed; (2) Gender is the constructed individuality of women and men among certainly the PE instructors; (3) Highest Educational Attainment has been described as the most elevated level of training and the achievement of the PE instructors; (4) Length of Teaching has been developed in PE instructor adequacy associated with great experiences; (5)Relationship Status has been defined either considerate or conjugal status; (6)Employment Status is the position of the PE instructors in the institution on the basis of the contract of work or duration of work of teaching done; (7) Body Mass Index-is an assessment derived from the mass (weight) and (height) of a PE instructors. The frequency and percentage are utilized and the results are shown in these Major findings of the demographic profiles as follows: 47% of the participants were 20-25 years old; 53% was dominated by male respondents; 67% were Bachelor's degree holders; 66% has one (1) to five (5) year teaching experiences; 63% was single professionals; 50% of the PE instructors are with permanent employment status; and as to Body Mass Index, 62% of the PE instructors were normal.

Health status

As results, it revealed that the PE instructors had very good health status. This means that the PE instructors often preferred social well-being status since they believe that being socially fit can build and form harmonious relationship with their family, friends, love ones and other people. In addition, illustrated that health is a resource for everyday life, not the object of living, and is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources as well as physical capabilities.
