Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effect of the Government Free Nutritious Meal Program (Makan Bergizi Gratis/MBG) on students’ physical fitness, growth, and learning motivation in Jepara Regency. The MBG program represents a national strategic policy designed to enhance human resource quality through balanced nutritional intake for school-aged children. However, empirical studies examining its simultaneous impact on both physical and psychological dimensions remain limited. This research employed a quantitative approach using a pretest–posttest design. The sample consisted of 220 students from grades VII, VIII, and IX at MTs Mathalibul Huda Mlonggo, Jepara Regency, selected through purposive sampling. Physical fitness was measured using the Indonesian Physical Fitness Test (TKJI), growth status was assessed through Body Mass Index (BMI) based on height and weight measurements, and learning motivation was evaluated using a validated and reliable Likert-scale questionnaire. Data were analyzed through normality testing followed by the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test to determine differences before and after program implementation. The findings revealed that the Free Nutritious Meal Program had a statistically significant effect on students’ physical fitness (p < 0.05), as indicated by improved TKJI scores after the intervention. Growth indicators based on BMI categories also showed significant improvement (p < 0.05), reflecting better nutritional status. Furthermore, students’ learning motivation significantly increased (p < 0.05), suggesting that adequate nutritional intake contributed to enhanced energy levels, concentration, and academic engagement. These findings confirm that the MBG program not only improves biological outcomes such as physical fitness and growth but also positively influences psychological aspects, particularly learning motivation. Therefore, the Free Nutritious Meal Program can be considered an effective strategic intervention to support students’ health and educational quality in a holistic and sustainable manner

Abstract

The limited preparedness of elementary school Physical Education (PE) teachers in managing injuries and emergency situations remains a significant challenge for ensuring student safety. This community service programme aimed to strengthen teachers’ competencies in injury prevention, emergency response, and school safety management through an integrated training and mentoring approach. The programme involved 33 PE teachers from the Physical Education Teachers’ Working Group (KKG PJOK) in Gunungpati Sub-district, Semarang, Indonesia. Activities included needs assessment, training on school safety management, injury prevention, first aid, Emergency Cardiac Care (ECC), cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), simulation-based practice, the development of school safety Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and the implementation of SIGAPEdu as a digital injury reporting system. Programme effectiveness was evaluated using pre-test and post-test assessments, practical performance observations, and monitoring of programme outputs. The results demonstrated substantial improvements in teachers’ knowledge and practical competencies. The mean knowledge score increased from 58.24 ± 9.17 in the pre-test to 86.73 ± 6.84 in the post-test, representing an overall improvement of 48.9%. The proportion of teachers capable of performing basic CPR increased from 12.1% to 84.8%, exceeding the programme target of 80%. Furthermore, school-based safety SOPs were developed and implemented, three safety-oriented PE teaching materials were produced, and SIGAPEdu was adopted by 72.7% of participants, surpassing the predetermined target. These outcomes indicate that the programme successfully strengthened teachers’ emergency preparedness, promoted the integration of safety principles into PE learning, and supported the development of data-driven school safety practices. Continuous implementation of similar programmes is recommended to foster safer and higher-quality learning environments in schools.

Abstract

Community participation in sports has grown significantly. However, the effectiveness of Green Open Spaces (GOS) in meeting the community's sports needs remains unclear. This study aims to analyze and examine the availability, planning, utilization, management of open spaces, and community participation in recreational sports activities in Kudus Regency. The research employed a qualitative approach using an ethnographic design. Data were obtained from informants across all sub-districts in Kudus Regency. Data collection methods included observation, interviews, and documentation studies. Data analysis involved data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing/verifying conclusions. The results showed that: 1) The availability of open spaces for sports in Kudus Regency is well-distributed across all villages in the nine sub-districts; 2) Planning for sports open spaces is in progress; however, supporting infrastructure such as parking areas and standard sports facilities still needs improvement, especially in rural areas; 3) Utilization of open spaces at the village level remains suboptimal, with more sports activities taking place in indoor sports halls (GOR) and privately managed parks. Collaboration among the government, private sector, and the community is essential to promote a healthy lifestyle through sports: 4) Regulation and control of open space use in GORs and parks are well-maintained, but at the village level, many fields are neglected and poorly maintained; 5) Community participation in sports is generally positive, influenced by environmental, social factors, available facilities, and ease of access. It can therefore be concluded that the availability of sports open spaces in Kudus Regency has been sufficiently met with well-structured development planning. However, it would be more effective if the supporting facilities were further improved, the utilization of these spaces optimized down to the village level, and community participation in sports activities continued to increase.
