Abstract

Introduction. Regular physical activity is crucial for enhancing health-related physical fitness and overall well-being, with research demonstrating superior cardiovascular fitness in active individuals compared to sedentary counterparts. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a physical activity promotion program on physical fitness changes among Nakhon Phanom University students Material and methods. Thirty Nakhon Phanom University students (16 females, 14 males) participated in the study. The mean age was 18.57 ± 0.50 years, height 163.88 ± 6.44 cm, weight 54.79 ± 4.24 kg, and body mass index (BMI) 20.49 ± 1.90 kg/m². The intervention consisted of a 90-minute daily physical activity promotion program implemented over 12 weeks. Comprehensive physical fitness assessments were conducted pre- and post-intervention, measuring body weight, BMI, resting heart rate, body fat percentage, upper and lower limb muscle strength, and maximal oxygen consumption (VO₂max). Descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests were used for data analysis, with statistical significance set at p
