Improving the Cardiovascular Endurance of Teacher Education Students through the Utilization of the TikTok Application

Abstract:
Driven by the widespread usage of mobile applications, the expansive development of TikTok application has carried considerable challenges and
opportunities to the Physical Education industry. Hence, it is imperative
to examine the usefulness of this application to mitigate the low cardiovascular endurance of college students since the conduct of research to
improve their physical activity engagement is still significant. Thus, this
action research sought to improve the cardiovascular endurance of undergraduate teacher education students using the TikTok application as
a tool for their physical activity. This study utilized a quantitative approach, specifically, the pretest-post-test design which is classified as
quasi-experimental research. Using the normative data from YMCA 3-minute step test, 50 participants from the Bachelor of Elementary Education
(BEEd) enrolled in their physical education classes were determined to
be qualified based on their pre-test scorecards. Two groups were formed
out of them: 25 in the experimental group who were exposed to the intervention and another 25 in the control group who were instructed using the standard discussion. Descriptive statistics and ANOVA-type test
analysis were utilized using participants' pre-test and post-test results to
ascertain the efficacy of the intervention. Results unveiled that the intervention has significantly improved the experimental group's post-test
scores compared to the control group since the post-test results of the
control group remained almost stagnant, indicating the intervention's effectiveness by rejecting the null hypothesis. Therefore, this action research inferred that the intervention has efficiently strengthened the cardiovascular endurance of the 1st year BEEd students.
