Abstract
Introduction. Human resources are generally directed at making people who are tough, skilled, capable, enthusiastic and productive, so that they have the ability to carry out various activities in society. Aim. This study aims to: (1) find out how much influence traditional sports have on improving the physical fitness of elementary school students; and (2) knowing the more effective frequency of traditional sports training to improve physical fitness. Methods. This type of research is a quasi-experimental. Data collection techniques with tests. The instrument used is the Indonesian Physical Freshness Test (TKJI) for children aged 10-12 years to find out the increase in physical fitness of early childhood. The population in the study were all fifth grade students at SD Muhammadiyah Condong Catur Yogyakarta, totaling 160 students. The sampling technique was simple random sampling, the sample in this study were 48 students who were divided into 3 groups namely treatment group A, treatment group B and control group. Each group has 16 students consisting of 8 boys and 8 girls. The data analysis technique in this study used the ANOVA test with the initial prerequisite tests being the normality test and homogeneity test, then to see the differences in each treatment group it can be seen from the results of the simultaneous comparison analysis and the results of the average difference with the Scheffe test. Result. The results of the study seen from the results of the average level of physical fitness for the three groups there is a significant difference. Based on the Scheffe test, the results showed that the best level of physical fitness was in the treatment group A or the group that was given the traditional exercise treatment with a frequency of 4 times a week. The treatment group B had a significant increase compared to the control group which did not experience an increase. Conclusion. From this study it can be concluded that traditional sports can effectively improve the physical fitness of elementary school students. The frequency of exercise 4 times a week is more effective for improving physical fitness compared to the frequency of exercise 3 times a week.

Ridho Gata Wijaya, Willy Ihsan Rizkyanto, Ismail Gani, Ari Iswanto, Dewangga Yudhistira, Galih Pamungkas – Body weight circuit: does it affect fat percentage, muscle and cardiovascular fitness in adult women in singcronous? Fizjoterapia Polska 2023; 23(5); 118-125

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20B7jJ

Abstract
Purpose. The study’s goal was to determine the relationship between fat percentage and muscle and cardiovascular fitness, as well as the effect of the circuit body weight training method on muscle and cardiovascular fitness.
Methods. Fitness requires effective and efficient methods, one of which is the circuit body weight training method. Some women’s perspectives on weight training have not been prioritized; there is still a lack of understanding on the regulation of exercise doses; and inconsistent studies of the relationship between fat percentage and physical fitness need seeking out the most recent data. A sample of 20 adult women aged 30-50 years was employed in this correlational and experimental study. The instruments used are a hand grip dynamometer, a leg and hand dynamometer, a rockpot, and an Omron body fat monitor. Techniques for collecting data from tests and measurements. The Spearman Rho test was used to analyze the data, along with Wilcoxon which assisted by SPSS 23.
Results. The correlation results revealed a significant relationship between body fat percentage and hand, leg, back, and cardiovascular fitness, with a sig value of 0.05. The comparison revealed significant differences in pretest and posttest percentage of fat, back muscle fitness, limbs, and cardiovascular with a sig 0.05, but not in hand squeeze. It was determined that as the percentage of fat in the body decreased, fitness increased and vice versa. Circuit body weight training boosts cardiovascular fitness, lowers body fat percentage, and improves muscle fitness.
Conclusions. Even though the power of hand squeezing is insignificant, it produces positive results. It is hoped that this study will provide information and a better understanding of weight training. The research is limited to adult women, the sample size is small, and there is no control group. This study can be improved through additional research.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG143z0J

Abstract
Introduction. Physical activity in education should be tailored to students’ nature to allow them to develop their potential without facing challenges. The educational approach at the elementary school level fundamentally differs from that of higher educational levels. Elementary education prioritizes engaging and straightforward learning experiences.
Aim. This study aimed to identify challenges faced when learning artistic gymnastics at the elementary school level.
Method. This study employed a descriptive research approach, aiming to gather comprehensive information about a specific phenomenon. In this context, the phenomenon under investigation is the experience of elementary school students learning artistic gymnastics movements. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire. The study sample comprised 80 elementary school students from Sleman Regency.
Result. The analysis revealed that difficulties in learning artistic gymnastics in elementary schools can be categorized into three primary elements: student-related, teacher-related, and infrastructure-related. Out of 80 students: 60 reported no personal difficulties, 45 indicated difficulties understanding teacher instructions, 55 stated no issues regarding infrastructure availability. It’s evident from these findings that teacher-related factors significantly influence students’ learning challenges.
Conclusion. The analysis indicates that out of the three elements identified, the teacher-related aspect requires the most attention, primarily because students often found it challenging to understand the teacher’s instructions for performing artistic gymnastics activities.
