Abstract
Aerobic exercise has been widely recognized as an efficacious intervention for enhancing students’ body mass index and waist circumference, particularly among individuals classified as overweight and obese. However, a comprehensive search for studies conducted within the context of higher education in the Indonesia yielded no existing research. This study investigates the impact of aerobic activities on male students aged 20 – 22 [(N21 YEARS OLD = 9(45.00%), N20 YEARS OLD = 7(35.00%), N22 YEARS OLD = 4(20.00%); age mean of mean = 20.85 ± 0.75] from a selected higher education institution in the country. The present study employed an experimental research methodology, utilizing a sample of male college students who were overweight or obese. The sample size was divided equally, with a total of 20 participants (N = 20). The participants engaged in a 12-week aerobic fitness regimen consisting of one-hour session, three times per week. Independent samples t-test was used to examine the difference in the performance of both groups in relation to their BMI and WC post-test scores, while paired t-test was employed to compare the difference in the pre-test and post-test scores on participants’ BMI and WC. Based on the results, a notable disparity in performance was detected between the two groups, with obese students demonstrating a considerable enhancement in their BMI [t(15.887) = −9.797, p < 0.05]. On the other hand, no significant difference was observed in the performance of the groups in terms of WC [t(16.665) = −0.505, p = 0.620]. A notable disparity was noted in the pre- and post-test scores of the participants’ BMI and WC subsequent to engaging in a 12-week regimen of aerobic exercise, both in a general sense (BMI [t(19) = 14.439, p < 0.05 and WC t(19) = 14.333, p < 0.05) and within each group [Overweight: BMI t(9) = 14.488, p < 0.05] and WC t(9) = 15.057, p < 0.05; Obese: BMI t(9) = 7.922, p < 0.05] and WC t(9) = 7.746, p < 0.05]. Based on the findings, it can be inferred that involving male students who are overweight or obese in a meticulously planned aerobic exercise regimen has the potential to yield substantial improvements in their BMI and WC. This, in turn, may lead to increased performance in physical activity. Limitations and future research endeavors are hereby presented.

Ekowati, Habibie, Larry Mar Farinas, Lydio Inayan Jr., Jezreel Donguila, Lemuel Pastrana, Faith Ostan, Dominador Lera, Edi Setiawan, Martin Hofmeister, Joseph Lobo – Effect of monotonous 10-week TABATA workout for overweight female ages 19-21 years old. Fizjoterapia Polska 2023; 23(5); 169-175

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20BD9C

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.

Fizjoterapia Polska 2023; 23(5); 102-107

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20B1DD

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.

Fizjoterapia Polska 2023; 23(4); 134-139

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20AA3B

Abstract
There have been a number of studies conducted on the benefits of aerobic and mobility training for enhancing BMI. However, its usefulness in a virtual classroom setting has not been tested in any academic studies. The purpose of this controlled experiment is to determine whether or not different types of aerobic and mobility training lead to significant improvement in body mass index among study participants. This study has employed an experimental research design in which the students will undergo a series of aerobic and mobility training exercises for four consecutive weeks while accounting for participants’ gender and BMI. The participants for the study are one section of undergraduate students from a college in the Philippines. A survey questionnaire with two parts was utilized. For the first part, personal profiles such as gender and pre-test Body Mass Index are all included. The second part requested the participants to answer the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q). After performing the series of exercises, it was found that a significant difference was observed between male and female students concerning their performance, in which male students performed better compared to their counterparts. Most importantly, a significant difference was observed between the pre-test and post-test scores of the students. It can be concluded that the various aerobic and mobility training exercises are efficient for students in improving their BMI, even in an online learning environment. The continuous use of the following exercises is highly recommended. Finally, practical implications, limitations, and future research directions are also presented.

Abstract
PFTs for both traditional and virtual approaches have been shown to be effective in several scientific studies. Over five weeks, this study compared the two PFT administration methods. Participants’ post-test scores were used to evaluate both procedures. The participants were divided into two groups. The battery of PFTs includes the hexagonal test, Plank test, Hand-wall test, Stork-balance test, and Vertical jump. One of these exams will be given weekly for five weeks to each student. Obtained data were processed via IBM SPSS 27. The profile and results of the selected PFTs were interpreted using descriptive statistics like frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Additionally, Independent samples and Paired t-test were performed to determine the variance between the approaches in the administration of PFTs. All selected PFTs performed similarly for both approaches. Interestingly, both treatments showed considerable BMI change. Virtual administration of selected PFTs is modestly significant compared to traditional administration. Finally, the effectiveness of both approaches was not significantly different. Even though traditional is slightly higher than virtual one. Both procedures work well for college students, and the physical fitness assessments can be utilized repeatedly. This study discusses limitations and further research.

Fizjoterapia Polska 2023; 23(4); 28-35

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20A710

Abstract

The TABATA workout has been praised in a number of research articles for its value to young adults. However, no research involving college students in the Philippines’ higher education context was located or carried out. The purpose of this research was to determine whether or not college students may benefit from the TABATA exercise program. Finally, it hoped to see if this exercise could assist reduce participants’ body mass index and waist circumference. Using an experimental design, this study examined the effects of a 10-week TABATA training program in repetition on college students. After the 10-week exercise performed by the participants in general, it was found that there is a reduction and improvement on participants’ BMI. Additionally, a significant improvement was observed in the participants’ WC. However, based on sex, no significant variance in both genders’ BMI. Fascinatingly, a significant improvement was observed in the WC of both sexes. Based on the general findings, participating in the TABATA program is effective and may partially improve students’ BMI and significantly enhance WC. To conclude, this study did not take into account other factors which may also affect the result of this study. Therefore, comparable experiments may be conducted while taking into account other variables aforementioned to this study’s limitation.

Fizjoterapia Polska 2023; 23(3); 228-234

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG143B52

Abstract
Requiring college students to engage in basic resistance training, locomotor, and non-locomotor exercises has shown mixed results in decreasing and improving BMI. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an online activity-specific skills program on college students’ BMI. An experimental research design was employed, with students participating in activity-specific exercises for eight consecutive weeks. Demographic factors, including gender, pre- and post-test BMI, and the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire, were considered. An Independent Sample T-Test was used to determine significant differences in post-test scores based on gender, while a Paired Samples T-Test was used to analyze differences between pre- and post-test scores. The results indicated no significant difference in the pre-test scores. Moreover, after the eight-week activity-specific skills program, there was no significant difference observed between the pre- and post-test scores. The movement patterns taught in PE 1, encompassing locomotor, non-locomotor, and basic resistance training, did not impact students’ body mass indexes. These findings may prompt educators to reassess the effectiveness of current physical education methods or to explore alternative approaches that might be more successful in reducing students’ BMI. As the results are inconclusive, further research with a larger sample size is needed to validate the assertions made in this study.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG14337C

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the effect of Rhythmic Physical Activity (RPA) on enhancing the motor abilities of junior athlete-students enrolled in gymnastics courses at the university level.
Materials and Methods. This study employed a randomized control trial method conducted over an 11-week period. A total of 29 junior athlete-students from Singaperbangsa State University Karawang (Indonesia) in their first year were involved. They were divided into the CON (n = 14) and RPA (n = 15) groups. Instruments to measure motor abilities included the standing long jump, handgrip strength, seated straddle stretch, foot tapping, and an obstacle course taken in reverse. Paired sample t-tests were employed to examine the differences in motor abilities scores at both the baseline and post-intervention stages for the CON and RPA groups.
Results. The primary findings indicated that RPA significantly impacted motor ability components. These components were the standing long jump
(p ≤ 0.05, d = −1.97), handgrip strength (p ≤ 0.05, d = −2.30), seated straddle stretch (p ≤ 0.05, d = −1.02), foot tapping (p ≤ 0.05, d = −2.00), and the reverse obstacle course
(p ≤ 0.05, d = −1.26). For the CON group, the results related to the standing long jump (p ≥ 0.05, d = −0.26), handgrip strength (p ≥ 0.05, d = −0.13), seated straddle stretch (p ≤ 0.05, d = −0.66), foot tapping (p ≥ 0.05, d = 0.12), and reverse obstacle course (p ≥ 0.05, d = −0.21).
Conclusions. The results underscore the significance of employing RPA to bolster the motor abilities of junior student-athletes in their first year at the university level.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG1433BB

Abstract
The implementation of blended teaching in physical education has increased significantly, but there was a lack of evidence about its effectiveness in improving mood state and motor performance skills in student-athletes, which became a gap in this study. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of blended teaching as an effort to improve mood state and motor performance skills of student-athletes both males and females in softball subject matter. Participants in this study were student-athletes from Mancak 1 junior high school (Indonesia). There was 41 participants had been allocated in control group (n = 21) and blended teaching (n = 20). The profile of mood state scale was used to measure the level of mood while the test of gross motor development-2 function was used to measure the motor performance skills of student-athletes. The Mann–Whitney U test was used to test the difference in values for each variable. Based on the study results, we observed that there was no difference in the scores of mood state and motor performance skills in male and female between control group and blended teaching group at the baseline (p  ≥  0.05). However, the second finding found contrasting differences between the control and blended teaching groups in male and female in terms of mood state scores and motor performance skills at the post-intervention stage (p ≤ 0.05). The third finding shows that blended teaching has a much larger effect size compared to the control group (full-online). Thus, we emphasize that blended teaching is an innovation in teaching softball in physical education classes that has proven to be effective in replacing full-online teaching.
