From wearables to performance: how acceptance of IoT devices influences physical education results in college students.

ABSTRACT: With the advent of IoT technology in education, understanding its impact on physical education is crucial. This study investigates how the acceptance of wearable IoT devices influences the physical education results of college freshmen. It posits that user acceptance plays a mediating role in the effectiveness of these devices in enhancing physical performance metrics. The study enrolled 150 first-year students from Guangzhou University of Finance, divided equally into an experimental group and a control group. Participants in the experimental group were provided with 'Xiaomi 8' smart bracelets to be worn during physical education classes. The study spanned six weeks, focusing on assessing various physical performance metrics and the acceptance of the wearable technology. The data analysis
