The statistical tools were mean, standard deviation, T-test, One-Way Anova, and Pearson r.

In terms of the level of coping mechanisms, the total mean for the level of coping mechanisms of 1st-year and 2nd-year students learning PE was 2.67, with SD = .30, and interpreted as ;Average Coping. The inferential results of the study in terms of stress level confirmed an F of 2.71 with Sig. = .07 and interpreted as no significant difference because it's lower than .05. But in coping level, the F = 3.77, Sig. 0.25 which is higher than .05; thus, the interpretation was there is a level of significant difference. The results showed no relationship between the level of stress and the level of coping mechanisms in studying Physical Education. In line with the results, this study concluded that college students know what is going on in their lives. A crisis like the pandemic could not hinder students' interest in learning Physical Education. However, the administration should always encourage faculty to make sure learning takes place properly.
