INTRODUCTION
Background Information
According to Wikipedia.org, sport is defined as all forms of physical activity which, through casual or organized participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical fitness and provide entertainment to participants. Sport comes from the old French word desport meaning "leisure". American English uses the term "sports" to refer to this general type of recreational activity, whereas other regional dialects use the singular "sport". Sports is something that defines an individual. But what if that person does not have enough means to display his/her talent? Although many parties can be blamed for lack of facilities, it is necessary to paint a picture of the current situation about sports facilities being offered in Penang Matriculation College (PMC). As an educational institution, Penang Matriculation College should have a complete sports facilities and realize the importance of having adequate sports facilities in for the recreation of their students. It is possible to ensure a bright future for the students by involving them in games and sports alongside their regular academic activities.

A pre-university that holds so many students is filled with people who are skilled in sports and who definitely add to the variety of sports being played oncampus. Although this campus is matriculation college , the question that lingers on every students mind is where is the place to play futsal, hockey, softball or cricket and various other sports. Until this research is conducted, the sports facilities provided in PMC are basketball (2 courts), volleyball (3 courts), tennis (4 courts), squash (2 courts), handball field (1), rugby field (1) and football field (1). For those who love cycling, about only 15 bicycles are provided for the students use.

RECOMMENDATION
PMC should make some improvement in sport facilities, equipment and spaces that are suitable for, and accessible to, girls and boys. Too often community sport facilities are inaccessible to girls and boys because of distance, safety concerns, lack of proper shower and change facilities, or tendencies to give girls and boys priority in their use. While sorting the questionnaire from respondents, we found that most of them want sport facilities in PMC to be upgrade such as the gymnasium, the field, sport courts. Not just that, we also found that, there are lacks of sports equipment, especially bicycles, badminton rackets and tennis rackets. Therefore, we suggest that sports facilities in PMC should be upgrade so more students can spend their evening by doing such great activities with the facilities provided. Perhaps in future, other matriculation college or any universities can do the
14

same research and way to overcome this problem so student can lead a healthy lifestyle.

CONCLUSION
When students first enter college, their diets often deteriorate and they often gain weight. There are many factors responsible for these changes. However, there are also several actions that can be taken to avoid the weight gain and decline in diet quality that may occur during the college years. There are many actions that college students can take to eat in a healthful way and enjoy their college years without jeopardizing their health from excessive weight gain or weight loss. Student need to exercise regularly. Physical activity helps burn off calories, helps manage stress, and promotes mental and physical stamina.
