<![CDATA[This Community Service Program aimed to improve teachers’ competencies in understanding, designing, and implementing fundamental movement activities and physical fitness exercises to support elementary school students’ physical activity. The program was conducted at SD Negeri 4 Ranomeeto, Ranomeeto District, South Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia, involving 15 teachers consisting of 10 classroom teachers and 5 subject teachers. The program employed a participatory training approach consisting of five stages: preparation, material delivery, demonstration and practice, mentoring and learning simulation, and evaluation. The training materials covered locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative movements, physical fitness, active games, and strategies for modifying activities according to students’ characteristics and available school facilities. Evaluation was conducted through pre-tests, post-tests, observations, practical activities, and participant response questionnaires. The results showed an improvement in teachers’ competencies, from an average of 60.27% before the training to 85.33% after the training, representing an increase of 25.06 percentage points. Teachers’ responses to the training reached 91.89%, categorized as very good. These findings indicate that a combination of theoretical instruction, demonstrations, direct practice, mentoring, and learning simulations can strengthen teachers’ knowledge and practical skills. The program contributes to teachers’ readiness to create active, enjoyable, safe, and developmentally appropriate learning activities that support students’ physical activity.]]>
