Many students show less than optimal chest pass technique due to weak arm muscle strength, so an effective training method is needed to improve it. <strong>Purpose:</strong> This study aims to determine the effect of push-up training on improving chest pass ability in basketball. <strong>Methods:</strong> This study used a randomized pre-test–post-test one group design with a sample of 30 male students aged 16–18 years. Push-up training was given for 6 weeks with a frequency of 3 times per week. Chest pass ability was measured using a ball throw-catch test against a wall as far as 3 meters for 30 seconds, before and after treatment. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and t-test. <strong>Result:</strong> The results showed a significant increase in chest pass ability after being given push-up training. The t-count value of 11.84 is greater than the t-table of 2.042, which means that there is a significant effect of push-up training on chest pass ability. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Push-up training has been proven effective in improving basketball chest pass ability. This exercise can be used as one of the recommended arm muscle strength training methods in learning basic basketball techniques in schools.</p> Marsuna Marsuna ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-09-01 2025-09-01 7 3 93 99 10.24036/patriot.v7i3.1143 http://patriot.ppj.unp.ac.id/index.php/patriot/article/view/1169 <p><strong>Problem: </strong>This study was driven by the lack of diversity in physical education lessons in schools, thus limiting the optimal development of children's basic motor skills. <strong>Purpose: </strong>This study aims to determine the impact of implementing a movement-based learning model on improving basic motor skills in children aged 4-5 years at Al-Hidayah Kindergarten, Lambopini Village, Iwoimenda District, Kolaka Regency. <strong>Methods: </strong>The method used was a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test in one group, with 15 students taken from the sample. Data collection was carried out using the Basic Motor Ability Test which includes locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative aspects, which was carried out before and after the intervention for six sessions. <strong>Result: </strong>The results in this study, referring to the paired t-test analysis, showed a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores with an average increase of 16.4 points and a significance value of 0.000 (&lt;0.05). The results indicate that a structured basic movement learning model based on active games and adapted to the child's developmental stage is effective in improving coordination, agility, muscle strength, and confidence in performing movements. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: In conclusion, basic movement learning is effective in developing basic motor skills in childhood and can be an appropriate physical education strategy for teachers in rural areas with limited resources.</p> Muh.
