The physical fitness course is a mandatory subject for undergraduate students at Universitas Negeri Surabaya, Indonesia. However, there is limited physical activity possibly performed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, conventional physical fitness tests and measurements could not be conducted in a conventional way. This study aimed to test the possibility of the Personal Physical Fitness Test (PPT) being implemented by college students who were enrolled in a physical fitness course. There were 1.639 college students aged 18 ± 0.81 years old who participated in this study. The independent physical fitness test was designed to represent several physical components i.e., standing board jump (lower body strength). Plank (core strength), push-ups (upper body strength), and one-minute skipping (cardiorespiratory). The data were in the normal distribution. Male students performed better than females in every test (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the data were categorized on each test based on gender. The categories are excellent, good, fair, poor, and very poor. In a further study, the personal physical fitness test could be implemented in a larger sample size.

This study intends to investigate the relationship between technology readiness and psychological well-being with academic performance. The investigation utilised a quantitative approach and correlational statistical procedure. In this study, the participants were students majoring in physical education at the Universitas Negeri Surabaya in Indonesia (n=85). The current study adopted questionnaires to evaluate technology readiness and psychological well-being, whereas test scores served as indicators of student academic accomplishment. IBM SPSS was employed to evaluate this study's normality and descriptive statistics. In the meantime, the Pearson correlation was utilised to test the relationship between variables. A multiple regression analysis was run to examine the strongest predicator of technology readiness, psychological well-being with academic performance. The results indicated a significant positive relationship between of technology readiness and psychological well-being with academic performance (p-values≤0.05). Thus, it may be inferred that technology readiness and psychological well-being components could be predictors of academic performance in physical education for students. This study's findings contribute to our knowledge and supply lecturers with information and scientific insight into the significance of technology readiness and psychological well-being for university students.
