Abstract
Background of the Study. Physical fitness is crucial for athletes, enabling them to endure rigorous training and meet competitive demands effectively. It encompasses both health-related attributes, such as cardiovascular endurance and muscular strength, and skill-related components like agility and speed. Various training methods, including circuit training (CT), have been explored to enhance fitness levels among athletes. Despite the growing popularity of CT in various sports, comprehensive research on its effects on athletes’ physical fitness has been limited.
Aim. The present review aims to clarify the effects of CT on physical fitness among team sports Athletes.
Material and Methods. In accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA) Statement guidelines, the systematic search of PubMed and Google Scholar databases was undertaken on the 28th of August, 2023, to identify the reported studies, using a combination of keywords related to CT, physical fitness, and athletes. Of the 566 studies, only 18 articles met all eligibility criteria and were included in the systematic review. The assessment was performed on the Pedro scale, and the study quality included in the eighteen studies was fair (ranging from 5 to 6).
Results. The results showed that speed (n = 12) was the aspect of physical fitness studied in CT interventions, followed by muscular strength (n = 10), power (n = 13), balance (n = 2), body composition (n = 2), agility (n = 14), flexibility (n = 5), muscular endurance (n = 7), and cardiovascular endurance (n = 8). Existing evidence concludes that CT significantly impacts speed, muscular strength, power, balance, flexibility, agility, body composition, and cardiovascular endurance.
Conclusions: The CT method is one of the ways of physical fitness training aiming at general development, which includes all the physical aspects. Furthermore, there is still limited numbers of evidence showing the effect of CT on agility, body composition, and speed.

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.

Abstract
In post-COVID-19 pandemic conditions, students are not engaging in physical activity both at school and at home, leading to a decline in the quality of students’ physical fitness. The objective of this study is to enhance the physical fitness of students by implementing a well-structured, accurate, consistent, and quantifiable physical exercise program, while also monitoring sports activities undertaken by students. This research employs a pseudo-experimental pre-test post-test design. The study sample consisted of 117 students. The selection technique utilized is purposive sampling. The instrument for assessing physical fitness is the Indonesian Physical Freshness Test (TKJI). The data analysis technique employs paired sample t-tests. The findings reveal a significant effect of the sports activity program on students’ physical fitness, with an average physical fitness score increase of 13% for Junior High School 01, 11% for Junior High School 39, 9% for Junior High School 14, and 5% for Junior High School 24. This is corroborated by t-test results using a paired sample t-test, with a t-value of −3.754 and a significance value of p = 0.001 (p < 0.05). Based on these results, it can be concluded that the implementation of sports activity programs in various junior high schools in the city of Padang significantly improves students’ physical fitness in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era.
