Abstract

The emergence of a problem where the fitness and motor skills of students indicate the need for a patterned activity that describes a play activity tailored to their characteristics. The purpose of this study is to determine the application of a physical activity pattern model on the physical fitness and motor skills of students aged 10-12 years. The method used a quantitative descriptive approach with a pre-experimental design (one group pretest posttest design). Sampling was conducted using purposive sampling, with 110 students aged 10-12 years old participating. The research instruments used were the TKJI for ages 10-12 years for physical fitness tests and motor skills tests with TGMD-2 (locomotor and object control abilities), and difference analysis with a paired t-test. The results of the paired sample t-test showed that the effect size (Cohen's d) for fitness was 1.50 (very large) and for motor skills was 1.13 (large). In addition, the r-effect value calculated from the t-value showed a result of r = 0.83 for fitness and r = 0.75 for motor skills. There was a 15.2% increase in fitness and a 16.4% increase in motor skills, indicating that the physical activity pattern had a positive impact on students' fitness and motor skills. In conclusion, there is a significant effect of physical activity patterns on students' physical fitness and motor skills. Recommendations for future researchers conducting similar studies include adding a control group and additional variables. Due to the limitations of using a pre-experimental design in this study, which did not use a control group or assign tasks randomly, the causal inference is not strong.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to measure the cardiorespiratory endurance of college students through the Multistage Fitness Test (Beep Test) and VO₂Max calculation to obtain an objective picture of their aerobic fitness level. This study used a survey method involving two groups, namely male and female students. In the male group (n=12), the results showed that the majority of participants were in the below average category (66.7%), while 16.65% were in the low category and another 16.65% were in the average category. These findings indicate that most male students have cardiorespiratory capacity that still needs to be improved to achieve ideal fitness standards. Meanwhile, in the female group (n=4), all participants were in the low category with a percentage of 100%. This condition indicates that the aerobic fitness level of female students is still at a level far from optimal. Overall, the results of the study show that most students, both male and female, have aerobic fitness in the low to moderate category. These findings provide an important basis for planning a more targeted aerobic exercise program to improve the cardiorespiratory capacity of Papuan sports students.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of petanque games in improving motor coordination among fifth-grade elementary school students, particularly hand–eye and hand–foot coordination. A quasi-experimental design (nonequivalent control group design) was employed, involving 60 students selected through purposive sampling. The experimental group participated in Physical Education (PJOK) integrated with petanque games, while the control group received conventional instruction. Data were collected through coordination tests administered at pre-test and post-test stages and analyzed using paired sample t-tests and independent sample t-tests (α = 0.05). The results indicated that both groups had comparable baseline abilities (p > 0.05). After the intervention, the experimental group showed substantially greater improvements in hand–eye coordination (75.8 to 85.8; 21.60% increase) and hand–foot coordination (73.4 to 83.4; 21.30% increase) compared to the control group (7.10% and 8.20%, respectively). These findings demonstrate a strong practical effect of petanque-based learning on students’ motor coordination. In conclusion, petanque games are effective as a precision-based instructional strategy in physical education to enhance students’ coordination skills. Future research is recommended to employ more rigorous experimental designs and include additional variables such as balance and concentration.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and test the feasibility of the FitLearn PJOK Android-based application as a learning media for Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) in junior high schools. The research model used is ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), which includes five stages of development. The research subjects involved junior high school students, PJOK teachers, as well as experts in learning materials and media. Data were obtained through questionnaires, interviews, and observations, then analyzed descriptively, quantitatively, and qualitatively. The results showed that in the analysis stage, the needs of students and teachers for interactive, easily accessible learning media that could clearly explain basic movement concepts were identified. The design stage produced an application design with multimedia content, a simple display, and interactive features in the form of videos, animations, and quizzes. Validation by subject matter and media experts showed that the application was valid with a feasibility score above 80%. The implementation stage with students and teachers showed a positive response with an average practicality score of 90.13%, which is categorized as very practical. Furthermore, summative evaluation showed that the use of the application was able to increase students' motivation, engagement, and understanding of PJOK material. Thus, the FitLearn PJOK application can be declared valid, practical, and effective for use as an innovative learning medium that supports the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at the junior high school level. However, further studies in various educational units are needed so that this application can truly be adopted nationally.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of awareness, use, perception, and adoption factors of wearable technology among physical education students in supporting physical activity. The study used a descriptive quantitative approach through an online survey of 48 students with a 14-item questionnaire instrument covering aspects of knowledge, experience of use, motivation, perceived benefits, obstacles, and readiness to adopt the technology. The results showed that 62.5% of respondents had sufficient understanding of wearable technology, but only 14.6% actively used it, while 62.5% had never used it, indicating a gap between awareness and use. The most recognized wearable features include step counters, heart rate monitors, sleep trackers, activity reminders, and GPS tracking. Perceptions of the benefits of wearables tended to be positive, with 62.5% of respondents rating them as important or very important in sports activities, and 66.7% feeling motivated to be more physically active. In addition, 89.6% of respondents acknowledged that wearables help objectively monitor performance, and 72.9% supported their integration into physical education learning. However, technology adoption remains hampered by economic and accessibility factors, with 52.1% of respondents citing price as the primary barrier and 25% citing limited device availability. Despite this, 43.8% of respondents were willing to participate in training, and 52.1% expressed potential interest. These findings suggest that wearable technology has significant potential to increase physical activity awareness through real-time feedback and objective monitoring. However, implementation requires a comprehensive strategy that includes increasing access, training, and gradual curriculum integration.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between back muscle strength and trunk and neck extension ability in Physical Sport students. Back muscle strength was measured using a Back Dynamometer (Back-D), while trunk and neck extension ability was measured using an Extension Dynamometer (Extension-D). This study used a cross-sectional correlational design with a sample of 38 students who met the inclusion criteria. The measurement procedure was carried out twice for each instrument, and the highest value was used for analysis. The Shapiro–Wilk normality test showed that all data were normally distributed (p > 0.05). The linearity test produced an R² value of 0.0007, indicating no linear relationship between the two variables. The Spearman correlation test was then used and showed no significant relationship between back muscle strength and trunk and neck extension ability (ρ = –0.030; p = 0.860). The results of this study confirm that these two physical capacities are independent domains and do not directly influence each other. Thus, the Back-D and Extension-D cannot be used interchangeably in evaluating trunk function, and each instrument must be applied according to the measurement objectives.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors that influence students' interest in futsal material in elementary school learning. A cross-sectional design was used to examine the perceptions of 437 students in the city of Surabaya. Data collection used an interest questionnaire consisting of aspects of interest, attention, enjoyment, motivation, and participation. Questionnaire validity and reliability were established using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The factors derived from student perceptions were analyzed using ANOVA (more than 2 groups) and independent t-tests (2 groups). All analyses were conducted using the Jamovi application at a significance level of 0.05. Independent t-test results revealed that gender significantly influences students’ interest levels (p < 0.05). ANOVA results demonstrated that grade level, students’ perceptions of futsal learning, parental support, and nutritional status were significantly associated with student interest (p < 0.05). School facilities, however, did not show a significant association (p = 0.256 > 0.05). These findings suggest that student interest is shaped by an interplay of individual and environmental factors. This study highlights the importance of enjoyment-based and adaptive instructional approaches that are responsive to students’ characteristics in fostering interest in futsal learning.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the impact of game-based movement activities on learning interest and physical fitness. It employed a quantitative descriptive approach using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population consisted of 55 fourth-grade students, and the sample was selected using purposive sampling; specifically, the study participants were fourth-grade students from Pandanwangi State Elementary School. Physical fitness was measured using a five-item field test battery (body composition, flexibility, abdominal muscle endurance, arm muscle strength, and cardiorespiratory endurance), with results classified according to established norms. Learning interest was assessed via a questionnaire covering four indicators: (1) attention to learning material, (2) interest in the assigned activities, (3) perseverance in participating in activities, and (4) active involvement during the learning process; a 1–4 rating scale was used for each indicator. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and hypothesis testing using a paired-samples t-test to examine differences between pre-test and post-test results. The paired-samples t-test revealed a significance level of < 0.05, indicating improvements in both physical fitness (reaching the "good" category) and learning interest (reaching the "high" category). Physical fitness results showed a shift to the "good" category, with initial and final assessment figures of 7.2% and 29.1%, respectively. Data on learning interest also indicated a high category, with 18.18% in the pre-test and 54.5% in the post-test. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that game-based movement activities influence learning interest and physical fitness. It is recommended that Physical Education (PE) instruction at the elementary school level incorporates game-based activities, given that elementary students naturally enjoy movement and play.

Abstract

Traditional games may provide meaningful learning experiences that support students’ attentional engagement and self-regulation during physical education. This study examined the effects of traditional games on focus and self-control among elementary school students. A quasi-experimental pretest–post-test control-group design was employed at SD Negeri 1 Grogol, Diwek District, Jombang Regency, Indonesia. The participants were 60 fifth-grade students, comprising 30 students in the experimental group and 30 in the control group. The experimental group participated in physical education lessons incorporating four traditional games: gobak sodor, engklek, boy-boyan, and bentengan, whereas the control group received regular physical education instruction. Focus was assessed using a 20-item questionnaire, while self-control was measured using a 32-item questionnaire, both employing a four-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired-samples t-tests, and independent-samples t-tests comparing change scores. Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in focus and self-control (all p < 0.001). However, the between-group difference in focus improvement was not statistically significant (mean difference = 0.80, p = 0.242, Cohen’s d = 0.305). In contrast, the experimental group demonstrated significantly greater improvement in self-control than the control group (mean difference = 1.47, p = 0.018, Cohen’s d = 0.629), indicating a moderate effect. These findings suggest that integrating traditional games into physical education may offer additional benefits for developing self-control, although its added effect on focus was not statistically demonstrated. Traditional games may therefore serve as a pedagogically relevant approach to supporting students’ behavioral and emotional regulation in elementary physical education.
