Abstract

Push-up performance is an important predictor of upper-body muscle strength and endurance. However, pre-test results showed that a sizable proportion of Grade 11 students at Xavier University - Senior High School fared badly, raising concerns about their muscle fitness and overall health. The purpose of this study was to look into how a 13-week Modern Arnis training program affected push-up performance. The study comprised 1,000 Grade 11 students who underwent Modern Arnis instruction as part of their curriculum, and it employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest action research technique. Push-up repetitions were counted before and after fitness assessments to track development. The findings demonstrated a significant improvement in push-up ability after training, indicating the potential of martial arts-based therapies to improve physical fitness. However, limitations such as self-reporting accuracy and improper execution of movements may affect assessment reliability. Future studies should explore strategies to enhance data validity and investigate additional benefits of Modern Arnis training on overall health and fitness.
