Community empowerment is an essential initiative focused on promoting and fostering positive transformations in the areas of sports, social sciences, arts, and cultural community activities. In the realm of sports, community empowerment emphasizes enhancing the quality of human resources, physical fitness, and athletic success at provincial, national, and international stages, thereby shaping the community's identity as an important contributor to sports advancement. A primary objective of this community service initiative (PKM) is to create strategies for improving athletic performance by offering certified physical trainer training and guidance to the KONI Magetan Regency members, assisting them in succeeding at provincial, national, and international contests.
