A HOME-BASED SPORTS TRAINING IN PHYSICAL HEALTH PROMOTION FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

PESQUISA SOBRE O TREINO ESPORTIVO DOMICILIAR NA PROMOÇÃO DA SAÚDE FÍSICA EM ESTUDANTES UNIVERSITÁRIOS

INVESTIGACIÓN SOBRE EL ENTRENAMIENTO DEPORTIVO EN CASA EN LA PROMOCIÓN DE LA SALUD FÍSICA DE LOS ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS

ABSTRACT

Introduction

Physical education classes in universities have migrated to online teaching aiming to reduce the risk of infection under epidemic prevention and control normalization. However, the impact of home-based physical training on the physical health of university students is not complete because the home-based physical training program could not be adjusted in a timely manner.

Objective

Analyze the current situation of home-based sports training and its effect on the health of college students.

Methods

A questionnaire has been employed in order to analyze the current situation of home-based sports training. Sixty individuals were selected, distributed into experimental (n=30) and control group (n=30). The control group was without specific physical training while the experimental group received online monitoring from physical education teachers to perform sports training at home, three times a week, one hour a day, for a total of two months. Pre- and post-training changes were compared by in-person fitness tests. Results were contrasted via Excel and SPSS.

Results

Home fitness training can be accomplished in many ways, with the virtual physical education class being a primary option. The results of the influence of home-based physical training on changes in physical function of University students are considerable (P < 0.05).

Conclusion

Through comparison of fitness test results, home-based physical training was found to have a beneficial effect on the physical performance of college students and can be safely replicated in institutions. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies: investigation of treatment outcomes.
