The survey research design was adopted,stratified random sampling was conducted to select 500 students across the study level(100-400). the questionnaire consists of demographic information and a standardised entrepreneurial mindset scale(EMS) used as instrument for data collection. The questionnaire was administred electronically through on-line social media platforms(whatsapp,facebook,telegram and e-mails). Percentage, mean and standard deviation was computed to describe the data,parametric statistics of point-biserial correlation and multiple linear regression was performed to test the hypotheses and also answer the research questions at 0.05 confidence level. The result demonstrated that ;establishment of a fitness and wellness gym was the most preferred sport/physical activity-related business intention. In addition,entrepreneurial mindset (opportunity recognition,innovation, risk taking,proactiveness)significantly predicted entrepreneurial intention of students,F(4,495)=86.744,p<0.001,R2 412 R2 .407. Furthermore,point-biserial correlation analysis produced a moderate positive correlation between previous entrpreneurial experience and the entrpreneurial intention of the students, rpb(498)=.831, p=.003. The study concluded that; establishment of fitness and wellness gyms was the most preferred choice of entrpreneurial intentions among human kinetics undergraduates. The entrpreneurial mindset significantly predicted the entrepreneurial intention of the student; there was a moderate positive correlation between previous entrepreneurial experience among other conclusions. This study recommended that; students be encouraged and supported in developing business plans and prototypes for fitness and wellness gyms. This can be done by inviting industry experts to provide mentorship and guidance to students. Additionally,the Department of Human kinetics may consider offering courses or workshops on entrepreneurship in the health and fitness industry.
