<![CDATA[This study aimed to determine the effect of the traditional hopscotch game (engklek) on the long jump ability of fourth-grade students at UPT SD Negeri 060885 Medan Baru. This study employed a quantitative approach using an experimental method with a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The population consisted of all 29 fourth-grade students at UPT SD Negeri 060885 Medan Baru, and the entire population was used as the sample through a total sampling technique. Data were collected through a long jump performance test and observation. Long jump ability was assessed based on four indicators, namely approach, takeoff, flight, and landing, along with the measurement of jumping distance. The intervention using the traditional engklek game was conducted in four sessions, with activities designed to train one-foot jumping, takeoff strength, balance, movement coordination, and landing. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Paired Samples T-Test. The results showed that the mean score of basic long jump techniques increased from 7.55 in the pretest to 11.66 in the posttest, while the mean jumping distance increased from 1.4669 meters to 1.7817 meters. The Paired Samples T-Test results showed a t-value of -45.209 with a significance value of 0.000 for the technical score, while the jumping distance showed a t-value of -37.405 with a significance value of 0.000. Thus, there was a significant difference in students' long jump ability before and after participating in the engklek game.]]>
