This study aims to analyze the difference in physical literacy and physical fitness levels between male and female Phase C students at SDN Melong Mandiri 1. The study uses a quantitative approach with a comparative descriptive design and a cross-sectional design. The subjects of the study were all students of grades V and VI totaling 213 students, with a total sampling technique. Physical literacy was measured using the Physical Literacy Child Questionnaire (PL-C Quest), while physical fitness was measured using the Indonesian Student Fitness Test (TKSI). Data were analyzed using the Independent Samples t-test and the Mann-Whitney U Test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the level of physical literacy between male and female students (p = 0.067), while in physical fitness there was a significant difference (p < 0.001), with male students having a higher level of physical fitness than female students. These findings show that physical literacy and physical fitness are two concepts that are related but not always in line, so PJOK teachers need to design learning that balances the development of these two aspects in all students regardless of gender.
