Abstract

This empowerment program aimed to develop trained peer counselors by providing knowledge and skills on physical activity. The program was conducted at SD Negeri Samata involving 25 fifth-grade students. It consisted of a one-day training and practical sessions including exercise routines. The pre-test results showed that most students had low levels of knowledge, while the post-test indicated a significant improvement in both knowledge and behavior. All students effectively served as peer educators. This program has the potential to be integrated as a routine extracurricular activity to promote physical health awareness in schools.
