Abstract

Harmful lifestyles and behaviors are emerging in society, one of which is a sedentary lifestyle or inactive behavior shown by a lack of physical activity as seen in college students. Because college students rely heavily on technology that allows them to do anything without moving much.  FEV? is a parameter used to assess lung function. A decrease in FEV? can have an impact on a person's lung capacity and health. One way to improve lung function is by doing aerobic exercise. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of aerobic exercise on Forced Expiratory In One Second (FEV?) in university students. Methods: This research is a type of quasi-experimental research with a one group pretest and posttest design. The sample of this study were students who fit the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Samples were given jogging exercises 12 times in 1 month and spirometry measurement tools to determine FEV?. Results: Based on the paired t test, the p-value = 0.000 <0.05, which means that there is an effect of aerobic exercise on FEV?. Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, it was found that there was an increase in FEV? in students after being given aerobic exercise in the form of jogging.
