Abstract
Technological advancements have resulted in changing the people of today's behaviours and has encouraged a change in lifestyles. And is an exercise that can be done by yourself, anywhere you like and when done regularly with correct posture, it will strengthen the abdominal muscles. Also, by doing this you will reduce the chance of an injury by doing sit-ups. This can be included within modern exercise trends, as those who want to exercise are already familiar with using technological exercise equipment. This study aimed to develop a self-physical fitness training program with a sit-up sensor to enhance abdominal muscle strength. It featured 60 undergraduate students from Chulalongkorn University, ages 18 to 23, who were split into two groups with 30 participants each using purposive sampling: the experimental group, which used the self-physical fitness training program with a sit-up sensor, and the control group, which used the program without the sensor for three days a week over six weeks, or 18 days in total. These were the research's findings: The Self-Physical Fitness Training Program with Digital Innovation to Improve Abdominal Muscle Strength study discovered a substantial difference between the study results of the current stage and the needs analysis of technologically connected devices for exercising in the program at the 0.05 level. As a result of this innovation, a chest strap could measure the slope of the exerciser's body while performing a sit-up to measure the length when connected to a smartphone and the Sit-Up Fitness Tracker Application, which reduces injuries and makes self-exercising convenient, efficient, and easy. After using the Self-Physical Fitness Training Program's digital technology, the experimental group’s mean increased with a significant difference at 0.05 levels.
