<![CDATA[Sports injuries are a potential risk during Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) classes. PJOK teachers act as first responders who must be capable of providing initial care that is rapid, accurate, safe, and aligned with scientific principles. Preliminary observations indicated that injury management practices were not always fully grounded in evidence-based practice, highlighting the need to enhance teachers' knowledge, skills, and preparedness. This Community Service (PkM) initiative aimed to improve the knowledge and preparedness of high school PJOK teachers in Malang City regarding first aid and sports injury risk management. The program involved information sessions, discussions, demonstrations, case simulations, and hands-on training covering initial victim assessment, soft tissue injury management, the PEACE and LOVE principles, and general sports injury first aid. Knowledge was evaluated using pre-tests and post-tests. Results showed an average pre-test score of 87.40 (20 respondents) and an average post-test score of 95.60 (20 respondents). Among the 20 participants with matched data, the average score rose from 87.40 to 95.60—an increase of 8.20 points. All 20 participants showed improvement, no participants maintained the same score, and no participants experienced a decline. These results demonstrate an increase in knowledge following the training. The initiative is expected to strengthen teachers' competence as first responders and support safe, student-safety-oriented PJOK instruction.]]>
