The researcher developed effective intervention programs designed to help students become physically active during pandemic. This study sought to answer the following questions: 1. What is the level of body mass index of the Grade 10 SPA students before the intervention and after implementing PROJECT LEGEP? 2. Is there a significant difference between the level of body mass index of the students before and after implementing PROJECT LEGEP?
In this study, the researcher performed a prospective cohort study on 26 students and evaluated the effects of physical activity in their respective homes. Grade 10, participants performed online exercises through a video demonstration concentrating on the different exercise routines. The quality and number of respondents were chosen using a purposive survey strategy. Participants were chosen because they were thought to have acquired weight above average during the new normal and had a sedentary lifestyle, making them suitable for the study. The 26 Grade 10 SPA students were also given a pre-assessment and a post-assessment. The findings of this study revealed that administering T-tests was successful, since students' scores improved after taking the test. There was a statistically significant difference between the two evaluations.
