Abstract

Environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and air quality can affect cardiovascular function, especially in individuals with high levels of physical activity. This study aims to analyze the impact of temperature, humidity, and air quality on changes in blood pressure in physical education students before and after taking practical learning outdoors in the Samarinda City environment, East Kalimantan. This study used an observational quantitative approach with a pre-post test design. The research sample involved 30 students selected through a purposive sampling technique. Environmental parameters (PM2.5, PM10, and AQI) were measured using an air quality monitoring application at the same time as blood pressure measurements. The results showed an average temperature of 30°C, PM2.5 of 7 µg/m³, PM10 of 29 µg/m³, and AQI of 39 (Good category). There was an increase in blood pressure after practical learning, but there was no statistically significant relationship between environmental factors and changes in blood pressure. These results indicate the importance of monitoring environmental conditions during outdoor practical learning.
