Abstract
Study Purpose. The primary objective of this study was to test the effects of the ‘brain jogging’ learning model on basic locomotor movement abilities among elementary school students.
Methods. This research is a quasi-experimental study, employing a two-group pretest-posttest design. The ‘brain jogging’ based learning model was compared to traditional learning models, specifically direct instruction. The sample consisted of 30 fourth-grade students, divided into two parallel grades, A and B, both possessing similar characteristics in terms of age, average height/weight, sports learning material, duration, and timing of sports learning sessions. Students receiving the ‘brain jogging’ based learning model treatment attended twice a week and maintained a 90% attendance rate. Each game or activity is aligned with a specific goal related to a ‘brain jogging’ sub-training item. Data were analyzed using SPSS IBM 26. Initial steps included comparing descriptive data to the entire population size, and establishing the distribution of variables, the mean, and the standard deviation (SD). Subsequently, an independent sample t-test was utilized to ascertain the effect of 12 weeks of the ‘brain jogging’ based learning model on the experimental group.
Results. The mean difference in post-test scores between control and experimental groups was determined based on the significance level from the SPSS IBM 26 output (p < 0.05). The independent sample t-test revealed significant results in various categories: run (p = 0.000), gallop (p = 0.000), hop (p = 0.000), leap (p = 0.000), horizontal jump (p = 0.000), and slide (p = 0.009).
Conclusions. Based on the independent sample t-test results, the hypothesis is accepted. This indicates significant differences between the control and experimental groups. Statistically significant improvements were observed in run, gallop, hop, leap, horizontal jump, and slide abilities among elementary school students. The ‘brain jogging’ based learning model presents a promising approach to enhancing locomotor skills.

Abstract
This study aims to apply the swimming therapy method in improving gross motor skills of autistic children. Therapy basically needs to be given to build a better condition. Therapy must also be carried out routinely so that what is lacking in children can be fulfilled gradually. Data collection was carried out by observation and performance tests. In the swimming pool, therapy activities are held twice a week. Barriers experienced by children are the child’s gross motor skills that are lacking, so that the ability to balance and activities that require gross motor skills is not optimal. The reason for conducting this research is because children experience obstacles when carrying out activities that require gross motor skills, so a swimming therapy method is needed that suits the needs of autistic children. The research method used was an experiment with Single Subject Research (SSR) using an ABA design. The research findings showed that the application of the swimming therapy method had an effect on increasing gross motor skills in one of the autistic children. This increase was evident from the increase in the mean level from the baseline-1 phase (A1), which was 33%, to the intervention phase (B), which was 52.5% to the baseline-2 phase (A2) which is 81%. It is recommended to develop a swimming therapy program for improve gross motor skills can use the swimming therapy method.

Abstract
Introduction. Soft orthopaedic equipment is increasingly used in therapy of children with cerebral palsy. The primary goal of using soft orthoses is to improve the patient’s functioning – their contribution to central stabilization and postural control is emphasized. The principal aim of applying soft orthotics is to enhance the patient’s functioning in everyday life.
Objective. Examination of the influence of using soft torso orthoses on motor skills of children with cerebral palsy.
Material and methods. Four children with cerebral palsy who could walk independently – level I or II according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) – were qualified for the preliminary research. Motor skills were evaluated in accordance with the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM). Evaluation of the functional condition was repeated every 3 months for half a year. The children used soft torso orthoses for about 4 hours a day and participated in rehabilitation exercises with the same frequency as before the study.
Results: Improvement on motor functions, confirmed with an increase in GMFM score by 2.5% on average, was observed in all the children during 6 months.
Conclusions. A positive influence of using soft torso orthoses on improvement in the patients’ functional condition was observed, confirmed with higher GMFM scores.
