<![CDATA[Students in the 11th grade at SMK Negeri 2 Semarang demonstrated poor learning outcomes in the long jump. These poor results were attributed to a lack of variety in teaching materials, low student motivation, and low student engagement. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of using a modified hula hoop as a teaching aid to improve students’ long jump performance. This study employed a quantitative approach and an experimental method using a single-group pretest-posttest design. Simple random sampling was used to select the research subjects, consisting of 34 students in the 11th-grade Marketing 2 class. Data collection was conducted through a long jump skill test, which involved the aspects of approach, take off, flight, and landing. Since the data did not have a normal distribution, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and the Wilcoxon test were used to analyze it.The results of the study indicate an improvement in student learning outcomes, as evidenced by an increase in the average score from 8.40 on the pretest to 8.94 on the posttest. The significance value of the Wilcoxon test, 0.032 (< 0.05), indicates that there is a significant difference between students’ learning outcomes before and after the intervention. Therefore, the use of the modified hula hoop has proven effective in improving students’ performance in the long jump. It is hoped that this study will serve as an alternative for innovation in physical education learning media and help develop more engaging and efficient teaching methods]]>
