The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of a fitness tracker application in enhancing physical activity (PA) among students enrolled in the Physical Education Study Program at Muhammadiyah University of Sorong. Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design, 40 students were split into two groups: an experimental group that used apps like Google Fit and Strava and a control group that did not use any apps. The intervention continued for four weeks. The results indicated that the experimental group had substantial increases in exercise frequency (84%) and duration (71.8%), intensity, and intrinsic motivation (p < 0.05), corroborated by a high Effect Size, in contrast to the control group, which exhibited no change. The application features were demonstrated to be efficacious as a self-monitoring and motivational instrument. This study suggests that fitness tracker applications are an effective intervention and proposes their introduction into the Physical Education curriculum to boost student competency and their role model potential.
