“…This is in line with the statement of Suhartoyo et al (2019) that junior high school students now spend more time with passive activities than physical activities. Encouraging an active lifestyle has become an important public health need to improve overall health and quality of life (Ricardo Festa et al, 2023). In adolescence, physical activity is vulnerable to influence (Kostamo et al, 2019;Martins et al, 2015).…”

The aims of this research include 1) to find out the physical fitness level of Phase D students at SMPN 2 Tugu; 2) to find out the results of the assessment of the physical fitness learning objectives of Phase D students at SMPN 2 Tugu; 3) to find out what the percentage of completion is and how to follow up on the results of the assessment of the physical fitness learning objectives of Phase D students at SMPN 2 Tugu. This research is quantitative research with descriptive methods. The sample for this research is phase D students at SMPN 2 Tugu. The sample for this research was determined using a purposive sampling technique so that the research sample totaled 503 students. Meanwhile, the analysis technique uses descriptive statistics. The conclusions in this research include that the physical fitness level of phase D students at SMPN 2 Tugu is mostly categorized as poor because students do not understand the importance of physical fitness in daily activities. The results of the assessment of physical fitness learning objectives carried out for the most part have not achieved completeness. Completeness in assessing learning objectives depends on the value interval determined by the teacher or educational unit. The results of completing learning objectives as a follow-up process to improve the learning process and evaluate learning objectives.

Consumer‐grade optical heart rate (HR) sensors emerged as promising tools to monitor volume and intensity of physical activity (PA). However, no validation study of optical HR sensors included recent comprehensive validation recommendations, required for facilitating usage for medical purposes. Validity of HR data measured with four consumer‐grade optical sensors, the wrist‐worn Garmin Venu 2S and Polar Vantage M2, and the upper arm‐worn Polar Verity Sense and Scosche Rhythm24 were assessed in 32 participants over 24 h including various laboratory‐based and free‐living activities. Furthermore, validity of time at moderate or vigorous PA intensity zones was analyzed. A medical‐grade ECG served as a reference. Reliability was assessed by analyzing data of laboratory‐based activities during two visits. Across activities, the mean absolute percentage error ranged from 2.2% to 4.7% and intraclass correlation coefficients ranged from 0.91 to 0.98, indicating high validity for all optical sensors. All sensors validly detected time spent at moderate or vigorous intensities (mean error < 10%), except Polar M2 for moderate PA (mean error 12.8%) and Garmin V2 for vigorous PA (mean error −15.9%). Sensor day‐to‐day reliability was high, indicated by a mean absolute error of < 5 beats/min. Upper arm‐worn sensors consistently outperformed wrist‐worn sensors, particularly in activities involving increased arm movement and at higher intensities. Our findings identified an overall high validity of these four consumer‐grade optical HR sensors, also for assessing time spent at higher PA intensities. However, differences were observed between sensors regarding activity subtypes and intensity levels. These data support informed decisions when selecting optical sensors for PA monitoring and intervention.Trial Registration: The study was performed in compliance with the Declaration of Helsinki and its current amendments and was prospectively registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (ID NCT05525000).

Physical performance in the health environment: an undervalued practical and inexpensive tool

In this article, Festa et al. highlight that the assessment of physical performance is not currently valued as a simple and practical tool for estimating health status in the general population. Consequently, the purpose of this opinion article is to highlight the importance of testing and classifying physical performance as an indicator of overall health, encouraging health professionals to consider them as an accessible and inexpensive tool for the public health context, in contrast to laboratory assessments.
