Research on the Effect of Using Sports Apps Based on GPS and Sensing Technology to Promote College Students’ Extracurricular Exercises : ——Take Chongqing University of Technology as an Example

The university stage is an important period for college students to improve their physical fitness. Extracurricular physical exercise is the main way for college students to improve their physical fitness. To improve the physical fitness of college students, it must be based on reality and pay attention to the management of college students’ extracurricular physical exercise. This research takes Chongqing University of Technology as an example to study the effect of using GPS and sensor technology-based sports apps to promote college students’ extracurricular exercises. The research results show that Chongqing University of Technology uses the “Trail Run” APP to promote college students’ extracurricular exercises, which increases the number of college students' extracurricular exercises, invigorates the sports atmosphere of campus and improves the physical fitness of college students, especially the cardiopulmonary function and endurance quality. However, some problems were encountered in the application process. In order to make better use of information technology to promote college students' extracurricular exercise, it is necessary to continuously improve the rules of extracurricular sports management, continuously enhance the level of information technology, and better improve the physical fitness of college students.
