In the rapidly evolving digital education landscape, the integration of mobile tracking
applications in Physical Education (PE) offers an innovative approach to enhancing performance
assessment, improving student motivation, and fostering engagement in physical activities. This
study examines the impact of digital endurance tracking tools using a mixed-methods approach,
combining quantitative performance analysis with qualitative student and teacher feedback.
The study sample consisted of n = 243 students (mean age = 16.2 ± 1.1 years) who utilized a
mobile tracking application designed to monitor maximum aerobic speed (MAS/VMA) and
running duration. Performance data were recorded over multiple training sessions,
complemented by questionnaire responses evaluating student motivation (M ± σ = 4.21 ± 0.93)
and engagement (M ± σ = 4.34 ± 0.87) on a 5-point Likert scale
