The data analysis technique used is a path analysis technique. The results of the analysis of the relationship between BMI and stress level using the chi-square test showed a p-value = 0.737. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be seen that the p-value≥ 0.05 which means there is no relationship between nutritional status BMI and stress levels in extracurricular students at SMAN 1 OKU.  The results of the analysis of the relationship between BMI and physical fitness of extracurricular students obtained a value of 0.039 or p< 0.05 which means that there is a significant relationship between BMI and physical fitness.
