Abstract
Background and Aim: Posture Studio Software is essential in aerobics teaching as it helps analyze body alignment and movement patterns, ensuring exercises are performed safely and effectively. It also aids instructors in providing personalized feedback to improve posture and prevent injuries. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Pose Studio software in enhancing aerobics instruction among first-year non-physical education students at Liaoyang Vocational and Technical College. The objectives included assessing improvements in students' performance metrics, including accuracy, expression, coordination, strength, and proficiency.
Materials and Methods: The research utilized a quasi-experimental design, involving a total of 80 first-year non-physical education students, with equal representation of male and female participants, aged 18-22 years. Participants had no prior experience in aerobics to ensure a uniform baseline for evaluation. The sample was selected using purposive sampling. Participants were divided into an experimental group, which used Pose Studio, and a control group, which followed traditional aerobics instruction methods. Performance was measured through pre- and post-tests in the identified key areas, alongside surveys gathering students' perceptions of the software's effectiveness.
Results: The findings revealed substantial improvements for the experimental group compared to the control group. Approximately 85% of students in the experimental group reported enhanced skills across all performance metrics. Statistical analyses included mean scores, standard deviations, and independent samples t-tests, with p-values all lower than 0.05, confirming significant differences in accuracy, expression, coordination, strength, and proficiency, thus highlighting the positive impact of the software on learning outcomes.
Conclusion: The study concluded that implementing Pose Studio software significantly improved students' performance in aerobics instruction. These results support the broader integration of advanced technology in physical education, advocating for innovative digital resources to enhance teaching methodologies and enrich overall student learning experiences.
