Abstrak

This study aims to examine the effect of the Circuit Training learning model on the Physical Fitness of Fifth Grade Students of Gemiringlor 1 Elementary School. Physical fitness is the ability of a person's body to carry out daily activities without experiencing excessive fatigue and still have energy reserves to enjoy leisure time and anticipate emergencies. Elementary school children, especially fifth grade (ranging from 10–12 years), are a period of rapid physical and motor development transition. The study used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design. The design used was a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The population in this study were all fifthgrade students of Gemiringlor 1 Elementary School. The sampling technique used a saturated sampling technique. The number of samples in this study was 31 students. The instrument used was the Indonesian Physical Fitness Test (TKJI) for Ages 10–12 Years published by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Data analysis was carried out quantitatively using SPSS 26.0 software with hypothesis testing using a Paired sample t-test. The results showed improvements were seen in all TKJI components, these improvements indicate that the implementation of the TKJI was effective circuit training provides training stimuli involving various components of physical fitness, such as speed, strength, muscular endurance, explosive power, and cardiorespiratory endurance. The results of the Paired Sample t-Test showed that all TKJI components had a significance value of p < 0.001. The total TKJI score rose from an average of 13.81 to 17.32, representing an increase of 3.52%.
