Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study investigated the effects of an e-Learning-based physical activity promotion program on the quantity of physical activity and other parameters in a university physical education class, and also examined its usefulness as a teaching material for university physical education. Long-term effects were observed in physical activity after the intervention and one year after the intervention, and short-term effects were observed in resistance training and static stretching compared to those before the university physical education classes. In addition, the results of a questionnaire evaluation of the teaching materials by 1333 students from 19 universities showed that the program was highly evaluated. The results suggest that the physical activity promotion program used in this study is a useful college physical education resource.
