Abstract

Objective To explore the impact of using sports activity tracking APP data recording and social fitness activities on physical and mental health of college students, and to provide theoretical support for using APP to participate in fitness. Methods A total of 96 students from Xi'an International Studies University and Northwest University were recruited and divided into the control group(35 students), the recording group (29 students)and the interactive group(32 students) by using random number table. The recording group and the interactive group used APP for 12 weeks of exercise intervention, while the control group receive no intervention. For any intervention, participants received physical fitness tests before and after the intervention. Results After the intervention, sit and reach [(19.36±4.55)cm], lung vital capacity [(2 929.93±422.52)mL], sit-ups for 1 minute(39.71±8.32) times, standing long jump [(165.14±14.73)cm] in girls of the recording group significantly increased compared with pre-intervention [(16.39±6.15)cm, (2 690.93±380.45)mL, (36.14±9.53) times, (157.64±14.93)cm](t=-3.34, -2.82, -3.52, -4.55, P < 0.05), and the BMI of boys[(22.79±2.18)(22.19±2.22)km/m²] significantly decreased, and pull-up of boys[3.50(2.00, 4.75), 4.50(3.25, 9.25)times] significantly increased(t=3.90, Z=-2.04, P < 0.05). After the intervention, sit and reach and pull-up of boys in the interacticve group [(13.08±2.23)cm, 6.00(0.00, 12.00)times], and sit and reach [(21.43±5.14)cm], lung vital capacity [(3 259.33±562.70)mL], standing long jump [(171.83±19.17)cm] among girls in the interactive group was significantly higher than that before the intervention [(9.78±3.96)cm, 1.00(0.00, 7.50)tims, (18.86±6.26)cm, (2 870.94±429.62)mL, (162.78±17.20)cm] (t/Z=-4.22, -2.02, -3.43, -2.68, -3.84, P < 0.05). After the intervention, compared with the control group, lung vital capacity and standing long jump scores of boys in the recording group were significantly improved, while the scores of sit-ups for 1 minute in girls were significantly improved; sit and reach and standing long jump performance of boys in the interactive group were significantly improved; sit and reach and lung vital capacity among girls in the interactive group were significantly improved(P < 0.05). Boys in the interactive group showed a significant improvement in sit and reach compared to the recording group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Using sports activity tracking APP can effectively improve students' physical fitness, can promote student participation and persistence in physical activity.
