ABSTRACT

— The world was growing less active before the COVID-19 pandemic struck. Global and regional worries about declining physical activity particularly in the Philippines and the ASEAN countries where sedentary lifestyles and inactivity are prevalent. Studies show a rise in sedentary behaviors and a decline in physical activity. The Covid-19 pandemic exacerbated these trends and increased the risk of obesity and cardiovascular disease in young people. Student engagement in physical education is impacted by several factors including time restraints, a lack of motivation, and social and environmental factors. Enhanced student engagement in physical education through video-based learning is emphasized as a viable solution in light of the pandemic. Offering readily available and simple-to-use resources like video tutorials can be incorporated into educational practices to encourage physical activity and combat sedentary lifestyles. The present study follows both qualitative and quantitative approaches with developmental and descriptive research designs. Developing an exercise video tutorial has four phases: planning, development, evaluation, and the final phase. The study used purposive and simple random sampling, with a total of 24 participants, or 30% of the current HOPE teachers in the Schools Division Office of Quezon City. The study reveals that exercise video tutorials are useful tools for physical education. They help students adjust to their learning environment and meet significant health goals. By offering a flexible, approachable, and inspiring means of promoting physical fitness, they help achieve the larger goal of encouraging students to lead healthy lifestyles.
