The involvement of students during the physical activity of the Physical Education subjects affects the level of physical fitness of students. This study aimed to test the effectiveness of health-based physical fitness exercises based on cardiovascular endurance through a 3-minute bench-up test with a metronome. 18 Kasawari students at the Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Convent Jalan Peel located in Kuala Lumpur were selected as samples. The Standard Physical Fitness Examination Form for High School Students (SEGAK) has been used as a measurement tool in collecting information guided by standard procedures harmonized by the Ministry of Education of Malaysia. (KPM). The data was analysed using SPSS Version 29. Through pre- and post-stage tests, the study findings showed descriptive data showing that the min of post-stand test was found to be higher than the min before the stand test. The study findings obtained were significant (t = -1.446, p<.001). Test-t results show a significant difference between the pre-test upstairs and post-test downstairs in looking at the effectiveness of health-based physical fitness exercises. Therefore, this study can have an impact on various parties such as ministries, departments, schools in addition to the emphasis being given to students to do fitness activities to improve stamina and sports performance and help reduce the problem of obesity among students who are increasing.
