Abstract:

This study aimed to select and evaluate effective measures to improve physical fitness among Sports Management students at Tra Vinh University. The study involved 100 students from two classes (DA25QLTDA and DA25QLTDB). Research methods included document analysis, surveys, pedagogical testing, pedagogical experiment, and statistical analysis.

Physical fitness was assessed using standard tests, including a 30-meter sprint, standing long jump, sit-ups, 800-meter run (female), 1500-meter run (male), and sit-and- reach test. Based on the initial assessment, four intervention measures were implemented over a 12-week experimental period.

The results showed that all physical fitness indicators improved significantly after the experiment (p < 0.05), particularly in endurance and lower-body strength. The findings provide scientific evidence for improving the effectiveness of physical education programs in universities.
