Impact of Online Training Program on Health-Related Physical Fitness among Young Adults

Abstract

    Since the onset of the pandemic and its subsequent demise, many have jumped onto online platforms as a means of working, shopping, learning, and conducting training program. This study was designed to determine the impact of online training program on health-related physical fitness. The results of the study indicate that online training program showed significant improvements in most of the parameters studied, which include V02 max, plank test, sit and reach exercise, and hand grip strength significantly meaning that indeed online training program if conducted properly can be impactful on health related-physical fitness. Even BMI and skin fold measurement showed improvement of the participants after the conclusion of the study also fund significant. Thus, it can be concluded that online training program holds great potential in improving health related physical fitness and should be compared in future studies with the traditional training program methods.
