Abstract
This research is a pilot study aimed at analyzing the intensity of male and female students' learning movement comparison using a polar global positioning system (GPS). It is a comparative study, and participants in this study were junior high school students aged 12-13 years, totaling eight students (four males and four females). The research instruments used were Polar GPS RC3 and Polar Heart Rate Sensor H3 to measure the distance and heart rate of students during the learning process. All participants were given a tactical learning model and a technical learning model on different physical education learning days. After that, they were analyzed comparatively to find out the difference. The results showed differences in the intensity of movement in male and female students, with the tactical learning group had higher intensity of movement. Besides, the average male students had higher movement intensity than female students. This study's findings could be used as evaluation material for teachers to improve the physical education teaching and learning process quality. Furthermore, the use of technology, such as the Polar Global Positioning System (GPS), helps teachers monitor their students' level of physical activity. Since this research is a pilot study, further research is needed to determine the differences between the two learning models and gender-based student movement intensity more comprehensively. Besides, the comparison of giving feedback during the lesson is also suggested for further research.

Summary
The era of the industrial revolution 4.0 provides a new order in human life. The emergence of technological breakthroughs provides various kinds of convenience in human life, including health and sports, as they can be applied in assisting educational evaluation [1]–[3]. The global world faces the threat of degenerative diseases such as diabetes caused by decreased movement and low awareness of exercise. It does not fulfill the average daily movement. Health organizations recommend that children and adolescents be encouraged to join in moderate to vigorous physical activity [9], [12]. The population at high risk is adult women in Asia because they have less physical activity patterns and poor diet and sleep patterns [13]. This unhealthy behavior occurs during a critical development period. This behavior can last for years until they give birth, leading to overweight or fat accumulation [14]
