The second objective was to create guidelines for academic administration that focus on reducing learning stress among students in the faculty of physical health. The samples were 264 students, 33 teachers, and 20 administrators. The samples were obtained through stratified random sampling at the Faculty of Physical Health of Aba Normal University center, serving as a case study. The research instruments were questionnaires. Three experts reviewed and validated the questions. The IOC provided the valuation methodology. We used statistics for data analysis, which included frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations.
