Exercise System for Enhancing Endurance in Physical Education Students

The purpose of this study is to improve general endurance of students, by selecting and implementing appropriate exercises. All participants were the freshman majoring in physical education in Vinh University, Vietnam. Participants were randomly assigned to either a experiment group (MG) or a Control Group (CG). Fifty students were randomly assigned to an experimental (n=25) or control group (n=25) for a sixteen-week study. Both groups had regular physical education twice weekly. The experimental group received extra athletic training twice weekly, while the control group followed the standard curriculum. Physical fitness tests, including 5-minute running, 800m running, and 1-minute rope jumping, were used as outcome measures. After sixteen weeks, the experimental group showed significantly improved performance in all tests (p < 0.05) compared to the control group, demonstrating the effectiveness of the exercise program in enhancing student endurance.
