Abstract

This study aimed to assess the efficacy, benefits, and prospective impact of sports massage education delivered through a blended learning framework for college students. This study involved 52 male students enrolled in a sports massage course. Using qualitative methodology, this study employed systematic content analysis augmented with numerical data, visually representing user responses to sports massage education combined with blended learning. Analysis of the findings shows that 84.29% of participants showed a positive perception of the overall media aspects, contribution, benefits and potential related to learning sports massage through the blended learning model. In conclusion, this study argues that the integration of blended learning models increases the contribution, benefits, and potential of sports massage education, thereby enriching students' learning experiences
