Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to assess the potential of E-sports as a new approach to promote tourism in the Philippines during the new normal, particularly by exploring how virtual engagement through gaming can contribute to revitalizing the tourism industry. Methodology: The study utilized a quantitative research design using crowdsourcing and snowball sampling. A self-validated survey questionnaire was distributed via Google Forms to members of E-sport communities worldwide, focusing on DOTA2 and Mobile Legends players. Data analysis involved frequency counts, percentages, ranking, mean, t-test, and F-test using Microsoft Excel software. Main Findings: Most respondents were aged 21–25, predominantly male, and from Southeast Asia. DOTA2 was the most popular game. Respondents showed a high level of agreement that E-sports can effectively promote Philippine tourism. There were significant differences in perception based on age, but no significant differences based on gender, nationality, or preferred E-sport. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study introduces E-sports as an emerging strategic tool for tourism promotion in the post-pandemic era. By analyzing global gamer perceptions, it expands the scope of digital tourism initiatives and proposes integrating virtual sports with national tourism strategies—an area that remains underexplored in existing literature.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of an aerobic and resistance training program in improving forced vital capacity (FVC) in young athletes participating in the DBON program (Desain Besar Olahraga Nasional). The study included 19 participants aged 13 to 16, including 7 boys and 12 girls, who underwent a 15-week training program. To ensure measurement accuracy, FVC values were taken before and after the training program with a spirometer. The intervention resulted in a modest increase in FVC values in the male group, from 3.7±0.4 to 3.7±1.3 liters (p=0.509). Females had significantly lower FVC levels (3.4±1.1 liters vs. 3.9±2.7 liters) (p=0.047). Other variables, such as forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow (PEF), showed no significant differences between the male and female groups before and after therapy. These findings indicate that both endurance and strength training can improve vital capacity, but the response may vary by gender. This work can be utilized to build individualized training programs for young athletes, taking into account sex-specific physiological characteristics to increase training effects and sports performance.
