Utilization of the Strava Application for Reading and Fitness Literacy for Unesa Students

Abstract

This research aims to describe the use of the Strava application to develop Unesa students’ fitness literacy. The method used in this research is qualitative. The results of this research show that the process and results of using the Strava application can develop the fitness literacy of Unesa students. The Strava application can be integrated into the Semester Learning Plan (RPS), as a supplement to teaching materials, learning media, and training guides. This is proven by the results of its use, namely there is a summary of the results of the physical activities that have been carried out. The results of the student’s physical activity recap are the result of using the Strava application to develop the fitness literacy of Unesa students from the FISH, FE, FT, FMIPA, and FBS faculties who teach Physical Education and Fitness courses. The results of using the Strava application with a summary of physical activity results starting from distance, time, speed, and intensity of student sports show that students can achieve learning outcomes well using the Strava application so it can be stated that the Strava application can be used to develop the fitness literacy of Unesa students. The result of using the Strava application is the development of student fitness literacy which is proven by monitoring physical activity, consistency and commitment to exercise, analysis of physical activity progress data, selecting challenges and establishing goals, and awareness of the benefits of exercise felt by students after using the Strava application.
