Paper Title
Mobile Software Application for Measuring Cardiovascular Endurance Fitness for Cadets Officers
Abstract
Mobile software application has become a part of today’s lifestyle. This mobile app is designed to help society to
be physically active. The application is named UPNM Cardio Fitness, and is developed on the Android platform. The
original purpose of the application is to measure and analyse the level of cardiovascular fitness of 20 years old cadets
through a 2.4 km run test. The application is based on a data base using Google Fusion Table that stores and analyses the
data received. The application consists of two parts: information of the individual and their respective fitness norms that can
be accessed either automatically or manually. The classification of the norms is obtained from the fitness norms of 120 male
cadets aged 20 years old. The norms are grouped into five categories which are: Excellent, Very Good, Good, Moderate and
Poor. The software consists of 5 hyperlinks which are the main page, individual information, test result, file and record. The
application is created using MIT App Inventor Software and Windows 7. The creation of the application has enabled
researchers particularly in the Science Training programme in UPNM to carry out tests as well as to identify the level of
fitness of their trainees immediately, accurately, and systematically.
