Abstract

Background and Aim: In order to improve the physical fitness and athletic ability of college students, many colleges and universities have introduced the Sports World on Campus application, aiming to improve the effectiveness of physical education teaching through digital means.


Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used to conduct a 10-week experiment on 90 freshmen at Zhejiang Business College through purposeful sampling. The treatment group (N=45) was trained through the “Campus Sports World” app, while the control group (N=45) was trained through traditional teacher-led physical education methods. Pre-test and post-tests were conducted according to the National Physical Fitness Testing Standards, and experimental data were analyzed using SPSS for mean, standard deviation, independent samples t-test, and paired samples t-test.


Results: The results showed that both groups of students improved in speed, explosiveness, endurance, and flexibility through digital intervention. However, the experimental group's data were significantly higher than those of the control group, with females showing particularly significant improvements.


Conclusion: The study shows that the Campus Sports World app significantly improves college students' speed, explosiveness, endurance, and flexibility through personalized training plans and real-time feedback, with female students showing particularly significant improvement. Compared with traditional methods, it can improve students' athletic abilities more in the same amount of time. Although traditional methods have limited effectiveness in improving athletic ability, combining them with this app can optimize the effectiveness of physical education.
