Underhand passing is one of the important basic techniques in volleyball that must be mastered by elementary school students, but observations show that students' ability to control the direction and bounce of the ball is still low. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using Rope Bottom media in improving elementary school students' underhand passing abilities. This study used an experimental method with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The study population was 30 students who participated in volleyball extracurricular activities, with a sample of 15 students selected using a purposive sampling technique. The instrument used was a 60-second underhand passing test with a scoring system based on the number of valid bounces in the target box. Data analysis was carried out through descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, paired sample t-test, and Cohen's d effect size calculation using IBM SPSS Statistics. The results showed an increase in the average score from 11.87 in the pretest to 23.07 in the posttest. The paired sample t-test showed a significance value of <0.05, which means there was a significant difference between before and after treatment. The very large effect size indicates that the Rope Bottom media has a strong influence in improving students' underhand passing ability. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of Rope Bottom media is effective in improving elementary school students' underhand passing ability and can be an alternative, innovative, and applicable physical education learning medium.

Student involvement in campus organizations plays an important role in developing leadership, social skills, and academic experience; However, intensive organizational engagement may reduce students' attention to maintaining physical health. Limited physical activity among students has become a growing concern, particularly when organizational responsibilities compete with time for exercise. Based on this background, this study aims to examine the relationship between students' organizational involvement and their motivation for physical activity at the Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, Sumedang Regional Campus. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The population consisted of 592 students from six student organizations, and 247 respondents were selected through proportional random sampling using the Slovin formula. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, normality testing, and Spearman's Rank correlation analysis due to non-normal data distribution. The findings revealed a significant relationship between organizational involvement and motivation for physical activity (Sig. = 0.001 < 0.05), with a correlation coefficient of 0.210, indicating a low level of correlation. The coefficient of determination (4.4%) shows that organizational involvement contributes only a small proportion to students' motivation for physical activity. In conclusion, although a statistically significant relationship exists, organizational involvement does not substantially influence exercise motivation. Therefore, integrating active lifestyle programs into student organizations is recommended to support holistic student development.

Physical education in elementary schools plays an important role in developing students' motor skills, attitudes, and character through meaningful physical activities. The teaching of basic locomotor movements in elementary schools is still dominated by conventional methods, which are less interesting and result in low motivation and engagement among students. Based on observations and interviews at MIS Ath-Thalibin, students showed high enthusiasm when learning was conducted using a play-based approach, but the variety of games used was still limited and not systematically integrated. This study aims to develop the RUNTHOJUMP (Run, Throw, and Jump) game, which is packaged in a teaching module as an alternative innovative learning method to improve the basic locomotor skills of elementary school students in phase B. This study uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with a 4D development model that includes the define, design, develop, and disseminate stages. The research subjects consisted of 19 phase B elementary school students. Data analysis techniques were performed descriptively, qualitatively, and quantitatively. Qualitative analysis was used to process criticism and suggestions from experts, while quantitative analysis was performed through validation using a Likert scale to determine the product's feasibility level. The results showed that the RUNTHOJUMP teaching module developed was valid based on the assessment of experts in terms of material, media, and practicality. The RUNTHOJUMP game can be used as an alternative learning approach to support the development of basic locomotor skills in elementary school students and to enhance student engagement in physical education learning.

Differences in students daily physical activity patterns also contribute to variations in their fundamental movement skills. This study aims to analyze the comparison of basic movement skills and Body Mass Index (BMI) of low-grade elementary school students in schools with full day systems and regular schools. The research method used is quantitative and comparative with an ex post facto approach. The research sample amounted to 96 elementary school students in Cibeunying Kaler District, consisting of 48 regular school students and 48 full-day school students, with a simple random sampling technique. The research instrument used basic motion skill tests which included locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative movements, as well as BMI measurements based on WHO standards. Data analysis was carried out descriptively and inferentially using parametric statistical tests. The results of the study showed that the basic movement skills of regular school students were higher than that of full-day school students. In addition, full-day school students have a higher percentage of obesity BMI than regular school students. These findings suggest that differences in learning systems have the potential to affect physical activity, basic movement skills, and students' BMI conditions. The conclusion is that differences in the education system and BMI categories are associated with variations in students’ fundamental movement skills, where regular school students and those with normal BMI tend to demonstrate better performance.

This study was motivated by the significant gap between primary schools in producing athletes for the National Student Sports Olympics (O2SN), which indicates variations in the quality of physical education instruction. This study aims to comprehensively analyse the quality of physical education learning in influencing the success of schools in developing O2SN athletes from the teachers' perspective. Using a qualitative design with a phenomenological approach, this study involved 15 physical education teachers from public primary schools in Rancakalong Subdistrict, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected over two months through semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and observations, with validity ensured through triangulation, and analysed using a thematic and descriptive approach. The results, visualised through a hierarchy chart, reveal that the most dominant factors in the success of producing athletes are contextual conditions (talent identification and differentiated learning) and teacher action strategies (varied methods, motivation, and individual guidance). Teachers play a crucial role as the primary filter in identifying student potential through regular learning integrated with additional training and extracurricular programmes. Although limited facilities are a major obstacle, teachers' creativity in modifying equipment maintains instructional effectiveness. This study concludes that O2SN achievements are a systemic accumulation of pedagogical quality, students' intrinsic interest, and school support that synergises intracurricular activities with athletic development.

Physical fitness among elementary school students is an important factor in supporting optimal growth, learning participation, and the development of healthy lifestyles from an early age. At the elementary school level, motor skills such as speed, agility, strength, balance, and endurance are essential components that influence students’ physical activity performance and overall fitness condition. This study aims to analyze the relationship between motor skills and physical fitness levels among students of State Elementary School 3 Wonosari aged 10–12 years. This research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design to determine the direction and strength of the relationship between variables without providing any specific treatment. The research population consisted of all fourth-grade students totaling 55 students, and the sampling technique used was total sampling. Motor skills were measured through a 30-meter sprint test (speed), Illinois Agility Test (agility), Vertical Jump (leg muscle strength/power), Stork Stand (balance), and a 1000-meter run (endurance). The level of physical fitness was measured using the Indonesian Physical Fitness Test (TKJI) instrument according to the norms for ages 10–12 years. Before hypothesis testing, the data were analyzed through prerequisite tests, namely the normality test and linearity test, to ensure that the assumptions of parametric analysis were met. The analysis of the relationship between variables was conducted using the Pearson Product-Moment correlation test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results of the analysis indicated a positive and significant relationship between motor skills and students’ physical fitness levels, with the strength of the relationship categorized as moderate to strong. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the better the students’ motor skills, the higher their level of physical fitness. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of developing basic motor components in physical education learning at the elementary school level as a systematic effort to improve students’ physical fitness optimally and sustainably.

Adolescents tend to engage more in passive activities than in physical activities, which leads to decreased physical fitness and quality of life. This study aims to analyze the level of physical fitness, quality of life, and distribution of Body Mass Index (BMI) in Pelita Fajar Junior High School students. The study used a quantitative descriptive method with a total sampling technique involving 47 students. Physical fitness measurement uses the Indonesian Physical Fitness Test (TKJI) aged 13–15 years, which includes running 50 meters, hanging from the elbows, lying down, jumping upright, and running 800/1000 meters. Quality of life was measured using a questionnaire that included four domains, namely physical, psychological, social, and environmental. The results showed that the physical fitness level of students was dominated by medium (38.3%) and low (29.8%) categories, and there was no very good category. The quality of life of students is mostly in the moderate category (53.2%). Correlation analysis showed a strong relationship between quality of life domains with correlation coefficient values ranging from r = 0.653 to 0.714. BMI distribution is dominated by underweight (40.4%) and normal (38.3%) categories. Students with normal BMI had a higher median physical fitness (≈14) than the underweight (≈13), overweight (≈12), and obesity (≈12.5) categories. These findings show that BMI balance plays a role in supporting physical fitness as well as being related to students' quality of life.

The physical fitness of elementary school students is an important indicator of the success of physical education. However, the era of digitalization and changes in modern lifestyles have led to a decline in physical activity and sleep disturbances in children, which can potentially affect their physical fitness. The purpose of this study was to identify the level of active lifestyle and sleep quality of students, describe their physical fitness status, and analyze the relationship between these two variables and the physical fitness of fifth and sixth grade students at Gondangsari 1 Public Elementary School, Magelang. This study used a quantitative correlational design with a sample of 50 students selected using purposive sampling. The research instruments included the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Indonesian Physical Fitness Test (TKJI). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman's correlation. The results showed that the majority of students (54%) were physically inactive, and 90% had moderate to low fitness levels. Correlation analysis found a significant positive relationship between an active lifestyle and physical fitness (ρ = 0.513, p < 0.05), but sleep quality was not significantly related (ρ = 0.198, p > 0.05). These findings emphasize the importance of increasing students' physical activity through structured physical education programs.
