“…However, use of technology such as smartphones and apps during physical activity may have some benefits. Studies have shown that using smartphones may increase college students’ awareness of time spent in physical activity which may positively influence their overall physical activity levels [29]. Further research should investigate the potential relationships between smartphone use and time spent being sedentary, intensity of physical activity, and total daily physical activity.…”

“…The number of hours using smartphones per day among the Thai as well as US students also bodes well for this potential strategy. Indeed, research has shown that smartphone apps show promise for increasing physical activity among adults [29,30,31]. The design of these apps would be crucial, however, since as previously mentioned, the possible consequence of using a smartphone during physical activity may lower the intensity of the activity.…”

Smartphone use among college students is prevalent across the world. Recently, research has begun to investigate the relationship between smartphone use and physical activity. This study examined the amount of time spent using a smartphone and the physical activity (PA) levels among college students majoring in health science-related disciplines in the United States (US) and Thailand. Using convenience sampling, college students in the US (n = 242) and Thailand (n = 194) completed an online survey, in Fall 2016, assessing smartphone usage and PA. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests and two-way ANOVA (p < 0.05). US students reported more days per week ( U = 15,150.0 , p = 0.00 , r = 0.33 ) and greater duration of PA ( U = 11,234.0 , p = 0.00 , r = 0.33 ) than Thai students while Thai students used smartphones more per day than US students ( U = 13,137.5 , p = 0.00 , r = 0.40 ). No difference existed for years of smartphone use ( U = 22,207.0 , p = 0.27 ). Greater smartphone use per day inversely related to days per week of engaging in PA among Thai students ( X 2 ( 3 ) = 10.55 , p = 0.01 , ε 2 = 0.06 ), but not among US students ( X 2 ( 3 ) = 2.39 , p = 0.50 ). The high smartphone use among college students, especially in Thailand, may be a barrier to PA as well as a strategy for PA promotion in higher education settings. Research should examine the best techniques for smartphone application development to promote PA in college settings.

“…The type of technology device (smartphone or app) is not a problem, but using some type of technology app/device might make the individual more aware of their activities and time in exercise. These findings can help health promotion professionals implement programs to increase exercise, especially in college students (Bice et al, 2019). In the development of existing technology, sports activities are no longer strenuous.…”

“…Nevertheless, new technology devices are capable of recording and mapping activity intensity using the built-in heart rate monitor or connecting to a sensor-based heart rate monitor. The ability to track intensity allows the individual to adjust the activity to achieve a higher intensity and potentially makes it more likely to meet recommended values (Bice et al, 2019).…”

Technology and health are interrelated, along with the development of technology accompanied by increasing health demands due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this study aims to rethink the use of technology in exercising to maintain health. The focus of the study in this research is the relationship between the use of technology and health through COVID-19 healthy gymnastics. The method used in this research is to use a cross-sectional survey online. This method is used because the survey can be done anytime and anywhere, which can be more practical. The data collection instrument used is an online survey using the Google form application. This application is suitable for use in a practical and effective data collection process. Then to measure and find out the results of the data collected, the researcher used the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software with a bivariate correlation coefficient test. The subjects of this study were UPI students who contracted physical education courses and sport. The results of this study indicate that there is a very high relationship between technology and health through COVID-19 healthy gymnastics. This study concluded that students who would be aware of their health by doing sports optimize the use of technology to support their sports activities.

“…In the 21 st century, the main goal of science education is to develop critical thinking skill as an essential skill (Holmes et al, 2017;Prani et al, 2018;Tiruneh et al, 2016Tiruneh et al, , 2017. By combining education and technology, it is revealed that education has no impact compared to education that is paired on technology, so that technology is used as a means of motivating individuals (Bice et al, 2019;Rote, 2017). To monitor the development of technology in today's digital era 4.0, interesting learning media are needed to be accepted by students (Purnami et al, 2020), so that learning will be easily understood.…”

Student’s perception is the student's assessment of something or information. The objective of this study was to discover how students' general perceptions and gender differences in electronic modules of mathematical physics. The research type is survey-based research with quantitative approach. The research population consists of physics education students from Universitas Jambi with the sample of 80 students from class A and class B. The data analysis techniques used in the study are descriptive statistics analysis and inferential data analysis using t-tests. The results showed that, overall, students have a positive perception with a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.011 < 0.005, which means that there is a significant difference in students’ perception. The perception of class A students with gender differences has a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.003, while the grade B students have a Sig. (2 tailed) values of 0.020 and 0.013. This means that class A and classs B students have a discernible difference of perception. Student’s perception may be used as a determining factor in the choice of learning materials. This research can be used as a guideline for the development of student perception assessment in the electronic module of Mathematical Physics in the future. The update of this study aims to compare students' perceptions of the overall online module of mathematics and gender differences.
