This type of research is classroom action research (CAR), with three cycles. The instrument used is a short distance running test. The subjects in this study were class VIII students, totaling 16 students. The data analysis technique used is descriptive statistics with percentages. Based on the results of the study, the results of the Short Distance Running test through a play approach to class VIII students obtained an average achievement in cycle 1 of 64.58, an average of 71.87 in cycle 2, and an average of cycle 3 obtained 80, From these results, it can be concluded that there is an increase in Short Distance Running Achievement through a Playing Approach for Class VIII Students. In this study, I created a student performance grid in which there are several indicators that will determine student scores. The KKM value for learning sprint distance running is obtained with several assessment criteria, namely mastery of movement techniques, enthusiasm and harmony in practicing sprint running, while for the aspects assessed, namely starting attitude, body posture when running, arm swing, body posture at the finish and grades. achievement (time).
