Biotechnological Enhancements in Physical Education: Analyzing the Impact of Advanced Training Methods on Students' Educational Outcomes

Abstract

This study explores the integration of biotechnological tools in physical education to enhance the educational outcomes of students. Traditionally aimed at improving physical ability and promoting health, physical education has now embraced biotechnological innovations such as wearable technology and biometric monitoring to advance student performance and health outcomes. These technologies enable precise tracking of physiological responses and real-time feedback, which are critical for tailoring physical education to individual student needs. Utilizing a Delphi method, a survey was developed to assess sports practices among university students, achieving a reliability score of 0.70, indicating a high level of internal consistency. This survey was used to gather data on students engaged in soccer during academic terms, focusing on how enhanced physical training through biotechnological methods impacts students’ academic performance (AP) and social development. The objectives of the study were to analyze the levels of sports practice and its correlation with AP across genders and to evaluate the impact of sports practice, augmented by biotechnological tools, on students' AP. Preliminary findings suggest that biotechnological enhancements in sports training can significantly improve students' academic and developmental outcomes by providing personalized and optimized training regimens. These advancements foster physical health and contribute to cognitive and social benefits, underpinning the need for a biotechnological approach in modern physical education curricula.
