This study evaluated the physical outcomes of students participating in university physical activity education classes (PEAC). Students were recruited from aerobic-activity classes (e.g. aerobics, jogging, walking) or sport-activity classes (e.g. badminton, strength training). Those in aerobic classes showed improvements in aerobic ability and grip strength, while those in sport classes improved vertical jump height and grip strength. The results provide initial evidence that PEAC classes can help improve markers of physical fitness and health. However, more robust research is still needed to fully validate these programs and determine best practices.
