Krisvoniawati Hidayah — 2026-01-20

Problems: Differences in physical fitness based on gender are often reported, but variations between schools as a contextual factor in learning readiness have not been empirically explored at the high school level. This study examines these differences by considering the influence of school institutions. Purpose: To analyze differences in the results of the Nusantara Student Fitness Test (TKPN) based on gender and inter-school variations among high school students in Jambi Province. Methods: A comparative quantitative study with a cross-sectional design using data from 85 students (35 male, 50 female) in three high schools. The TKPN components included flexibility, abdominal muscle endurance, leg-arm muscle endurance, and cardiovascular endurance. Statistical analysis used Welch's t-test and two-way ANOVA (gender × school). Results: There was no significant difference in PFT composite scores between males (10.68±1.39) and females (10.74±2.27) (p=0.879). The effect of gender on each component was also insignificant (p>0.05). However, a strong school effect was found on the composite score (F=18.07; p<0.001; ηp²=0.33), with the highest mean at SMAN 5 Kota Jambi (11.97±1.35). Conclusion: Differences in fitness based on gender in this sample were not significant, while variations between schools showed an important contextual influence. This study has limitations in its generalizability due to the limited sample size. The contribution of this study provides an empirical basis for the development of school-based fitness interventions. Suggestions for future research include expanding the sample size and investigating specific school factors such as the quality of facilities and physical education learning.

The effect of giving palm sugar on the physical condition of football school students

Abil Choiri — 2025-12-31

Problem: The low achievement of students at the Football School (SSB) is thought to be due to unstable physical conditions, lack of energy sources consumed by players, lack of nutritional intake by players, and players still consuming a lot of cold drinks before and after training. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of giving palm sugar on the physical condition of students at the Football School (SSB). Method: The type of research is an experiment with a one group pre-test and post-test research design. The population in this study was 204 people. The sample was 24 people with a sampling technique using purposive sampling technique. The instruments in this study were endurance tests with a 1000 meter running test, speed tests with a 30 meter running test, strength tests with a wall squat test, agility tests with an illionis test. The data analysis technique in this study used the t-test. Results: The results of statistical analysis showed a significant difference between the average initial test and the final endurance test (t _count= 8.980), the average initial test and the final speed test (t _count= 6.965), the average initial test and the final strength test (t _count= 8.112), the average initial test and the final agility test (t _count= 9.070) with a t _{table value}= 2.178. With a significance value (p-value) smaller than α = 0.05, the null hypothesis (H0₎is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha₎is accepted, that there is a significant difference between the average initial test and the average final physical condition test. Conversion of the physical condition component value, it is known that the initial test result of 3.6 is in the very poor category , and the final test result of 6.4 is in the sufficient category. These results indicate that there is a significant increase after giving palm sugar to the physical condition. Conclusion: Based on the research results, it can be concluded that there is an effect of giving palm sugar on the physical condition of students at the Football School (SSB).

The role of traditional dance movements in balance and flexibility

Sahbana Ridha — 2026-01-24

Problems: Much research on physical fitness remains focused on conventional sports, while the potential of traditional dance movements in enhancing balance and flexibility has been insufficiently investigated scientifically. In Indonesia, particularly South Kalimantan, traditional dances such as Baksa Kembang Dance and Radap Rahayu Dance possess movement characteristics that theoretically can train postural control and joint mobility, yet their physical fitness effects remain undocumented in the scientific literature. Purpose: This review aims to examine the contribution of traditional dance movements to balance and flexibility and to identify research gaps in South Kalimantan traditional dances. Methods: This study employed a narrative literature review design. Systematic searches were conducted across Scopus, Web of Science, and SINTA databases for publications from 2010–2025 using keywords related to traditional dance, balance, and flexibility. Articles meeting inclusion criteria were peer-reviewed publications in English or Indonesian that investigated the effects of traditional dance on physical fitness components. Data were extracted and synthesized thematically. Results: The review findings demonstrate that traditional dance training programs consistently improve static and dynamic balance, muscular flexibility, and joint mobility, particularly among elderly populations. Underlying mechanisms include neuromuscular adaptation, sensorimotor integration, and strengthening of supporting muscles. However, the literature search identified a complete absence of empirical studies specifically investigating South Kalimantan traditional dances. Most evidence derives from Greek, Thai, Chinese traditional dances, and Balinese Lègong dance. Some studies show inconsistent results regarding flexibility and body composition, possibly due to heterogeneity in intervention design and participant characteristics. Conclusion: Traditional dance movements possess significant potential as holistic and culturally sensitive physical fitness interventions, and can be integrated into physical education programs and community health promotion. However, rigorous empirical research is urgently needed to investigate the specific fitness effects of South Kalimantan traditional dances to strengthen the evidence base and facilitate scientifically grounded practical application.
