Abstract
The efficacy of the TABATA workout for college students has been emphasized in academic literature. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of research undertaken on college students within the specific setting of higher education institutions in the Philippines. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the TABATA workout’s efficacy for overweight female college students. The present study utilized an experimental methodology to evaluate the efficacy of TABATA training among twenty overweight college students aging from 19-21 years old [(N20yo = 9 (45.00%), N19yo = 6 (30.00%), N21yo = 5 (25.00%); mean = 19.95]. Furthermore, the students participated in a 20-minute workout, three times each week, for a duration of ten weeks. The paired t-test was employed to ascertain the statistical significance of the variance observed in participants’ BMI values after a duration of 10 weeks. Following a 10-week exercise regimen, it was observed that participants saw a decrease in their body mass index (BMI) and shown overall improvement [BMIa(pre) (26.81 ± 1.37) and BMIb(post) (25.75 ± 1.63), t(19) = 9.379, p < .05]. According to the results obtained, engagement in the TABATA program has demonstrated efficacy and the potential to yield substantial enhancements in students’ body mass index. This study did not consider additional variables that could potentially influence the outcome of the study. Hence, it is possible to conduct similar experiments by considering additional variables that were not accounted for in this study.

Abstract
The High-Intensity Interval Training program quickly became one of the most popular exercise regiments due to its ability to improve health by significantly impacting the body. This experimental study focused on determining the effectiveness of a 1-month High-Intensity Interval Training program to 10 selected clients which are classified as overweight and obese. Based on the findings, it was found that after participating in High-Intensity Interval Training for one month, most of the participants successfully reduced body measurements, vital signs, and body mass index. In terms of girth measurements, participants’ abdomen, chest and waist circumference improved significantly; while forearm and the legs have a slight significant difference. Based on blood pressure, it was observed that High-Intensity Interval Training may positively help to keep blood pressure in the normal range. However, no evidence to imply that this particular program can regulate it. Lastly, based on the pre- and post-test scores of the clients, it was observed that High-Intensity Interval Training program has a significant effect on the improvement on their girth measurement, vital signs, and body mass index. Performing a similar study to support or repudiate the claims of this study is highly recommended.

Abstract
Examining the impacts of blended and online learning settings on children’s fitness and body mass index in a sample of public elementary school pupils in the Philippines is the main objective of this study. A 16-week pre-test and post-test control group in a quasi-experimental approach. The experimental group received blended education, whereas the control group exclusively took classes online. The experimental and control groups consisted of 2 classes from an elementary school in Angeles and Mabalacat City. Anthropometrical characteristics were compared between groups using ANOVA. Pre-test and post-treatment body mass index percentiles and PA levels were compared using a paired t-test. First, there were no significant variance in the individuals’ anthropometrical characteristics between the two groups before intervention. Additionally, the blended learning group outperformed the online learning group on the post-test in terms of physical activity. After intervention, the mean BMI of the blended learning group decreased, but online students showed no improvement. Last but not least, when compared to the online learning group, the BMI percentile of the students in the blended learning group is within the usual range. The benefit of blended learning on the pupils’ physical composition was highlighted. Pupils’ levels of physical activity and body composition have improved as an outcome of the adjustment from traditional to online and blended learning settings. For the benefit of the students, it is advisable to make the most of a blended learning strategy and, if at all possible, return to the full face-to-face method.
