Abstract

Mountain biking is a sport that is physically demanding and at the same time beneficial for health; therefore, it can be implemented in university education by monitoring achievements. For this reason, the present study aims to analyze the university performance of the physical education course through the practice of mountain biking through the Samsung Health app. 12 university students between 16 and 25 years of age participated (Mage = 21.78, SD = 1.40) from Lima-Peru. The record of the sport performance was 7 sessions of training with a pace as a peloton. The results showed that there was an increase in average and maximum speed, altitude, and mileage. Then, the analysis of the coefficients of variation showed moderate homogeneity of the means of maximum and average speed, as well as altitude per day. But it was heterogeneous with respect to the distance covered, showing an increase in the performance of the students.
