Functionality of Fitness Applications and the Physical Activity of College Students

The study determined whether the functionality of fitness applications predicts the level of physical activity of Chinese college students. In the process, the study assessed the level of physical activity and functionality of fitness apps in terms of exercise, recreation, and sports. Data were gathered through online survey with the use of a researcher made questionnaire. The study showed that the respondents were engaged in light physical activity only. This is true in all the sub-variables of physical activity which are exercise, recreation, and sports. The study also showed that the respondents rated their fitness apps as slightly functional only in exercise, recreation, and sports. Simple linear regression was used in determining whether the functionality of fitness apps significantly predict physical activity.
