Pickleball Training Program and Weight Reduction of Grade 11 Students of Koronadal National Comprehensive High School

Melinda Bonifacio | Susan Losañes

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

The rising prevalence of obesity and sedentary lifestyles among adolescents has prompted a need for effective interventions to improve physical health and promote weight reduction. This study investigated the impact of a pickleball training program on the weight reduction of Grade 11 students of Koronadal National Comprehensive High School. Using a descriptive-correlational research design. A total of 30 students were randomly selected to participate in an eight-week pickleball training program, which included three sessions per week. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and Spearman Rank-Order Correlation (Spearman’s rho). Findings showed a positive impact on participants’ engagement, skill development, and performance. Participants reported increased enthusiasm, confidence, and motivation, leading to higher engagement. The structured approach and targeted strategies fostered a supportive environment. Skill development was evident, with respondents improving task efficiency through innovative techniques. However, some faced challenges adapting to new methods, highlighting the need for additional support and resources. Collaboration among instructors, peers, and stakeholders played a key role. Feedback mechanisms helped refine the program for better outcomes. Overall, the program was effective, but improvements in resource allocation, personalized support, and ongoing assessment are recommended. The study concludes that the Pickleball Training Program effectively enhances student engagement and physical fitness while supporting weight management, making it a valuable addition to school curricula. It is recommended that schools may enhance Pickleball training by making sessions engaging, monitoring student progress, incorporating nutrition education, and supporting further research on its long-term health benefits.
