Abstract: This study examines the impact of Vovinam in the Physical Education program at Da Nang University on students' physical development. Vovinam was incorporated into the compulsory Physical Education curriculum to enhance fitness indicators, with the participation of students from two groups: the experimental group learning the improved Vovinam program and the control group following the old curriculum. Pre-experiment fitness tests showed no significant statistical differences between the two groups (p > 0.05). However, after implementing the improved Vovinam program, the experimental group showed significant improvements in various fitness tests, including strength, speed, endurance, and reflexes, with p-values less than 0.05, indicating the program's effectiveness. Although the control group showed minor improvements, the changes were not as significant as those in the experimental group, suggesting that the improved Vovinam program had a clear effect on enhancing physical fitness and skills. The study recommends continuing the development of Vovinam in university physical education to not only improve student health but also preserve and promote the cultural values of Vietnam.
