“…Fitness app developers should focus on the usability and quality of apps by creating online training courses on the use of technologies and apps (41). Therefore, considering existing behavioural theories, the different studies determine that the usefulness of the App is the main factor when considering its use (10,(71)(72)(73)(74)(75). In other words, sports users seek continuous improvement of their fitness through challenges or goals that are set by the data they receive through the fitness App.…”

BackgroundWe are currently undergoing a profound process of digital transformation that has favoured the development and use of apps in multiple facets of people’s daily lives. In the fitness industry, this situation has facilitated the control of exercise and the maintenance of healthier lifestyles. However, it is not known how the perceived quality and importance of fitness apps vary for users based on gender and age, which is the objective of this study conducted among users of fitness centres.MethodsBy means of a convenience sample, 321 users from different centres of the boutique fitness chain Sano Centre (238 females and 83 males) took part in the study. They answered the 16 items of the MARS scale, distributed in four dimensions, in terms of importance and perceived quality. The existence of significant differences was analysed using non-parametrical statistics such as the U-Mann-Whitney (gender) and the H-Kruskal-Wallis (age). In addition, a cluster analysis, combining hierarchical and non-hierarchical methods, was analysed considering as a dependent variable the level of recommendation of fitness apps.ResultsConsidering gender, in importance-performance analysis (IPA), credibility was the most important attribute for females and quality of information for males. In the case of age, credibility was the most important attribute in all the ranges. The cluster analysis established two groups (high and low recommendations of the fitness app). In importance, the first group scored better on all factors except entertainment and interest. In valuation, the scores were lower than on importance, especially in the low recommendation group.ConclusionRegarding usage behaviour, credibility is the factor to which users attach the highest importance and rating, regardless of gender and age. The main demand focuses on improving the gestural design and visual appeal, which will facilitate a better user experience.

Background: Rain Classroom was one of the most popular online learning platforms in Chinese higher education during the pandemic. However, there is little research on user intention under the guidance of technology acceptance and unified theory (UTAUT). Objective: This research aims to discover factors influencing students' intentions to use Rain Classroom. Methods: In this cross-sectional and correlational investigation, 1138 medical students from five medical universities in Guangxi Province, China, made up the sample. This study added self-efficacy (SE), motivation (MO), stress (ST), and anxiety (AN) to the UTAUT framework. This study modified the framework by excluding actual usage variables and focusing only on intention determinants. SPSS-26 and AMOS-26 were used to analyze the data. The structural equation modeling technique was used to confirm the hypothesis. Results: Except for facilitating conditions (FC), all proposed factors, including performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), self-efficacy (SE), motivation (MO), anxiety (AN), and stress (ST), had a significant effect on students' behavioral intentions to use Rain Classroom. Conclusions The research revealed that the proposed model, which was based on the UTAUT, is excellent at identifying the variables that influence students' behavioralintentions in the Rain Classroom. Higher education institutions can plan and implement productive classrooms.

Sports are a necessity for humans in life to maintain good physical health and well-being. The importance of physical fitness varies for each individual in achieving success in sports. One crucial factor in achieving success in sports is the mastery of techniques, tactics, physical fitness, and mental abilities required by an athlete. According to the theory presented, maintaining good and optimal physical fitness requires appropriate training that is well-designed and tailored to the needs of the specific sport. The objective of this research is to analyze the physical fitness of extracurricular futsal students at SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Jember. This research adopts a qualitative descriptive method, which aims to understand naturally occurring phenomena scientifically. The sample consists of 9 futsal extracurricular students from SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Jember. The research instrument used in this study is the Multistage Fitness Test (MFT). The results of the study show that out of the 9 subjects in Jember, all were able to pass the first level of the test. However, in the second level, four subjects could not complete it, mainly due to their slender or small body size. In the standard level, there were three subjects who did not perform well, indicating that their physical condition was weak, possibly because, at the age of 15, they were not adequately trained or accustomed to running. On the other hand, two subjects out of the nine reached the highest level, signifying their superior physical fitness compared to others, although it is worth noting that their body size was on the heavier side, indicating room for improvement.
