The Influence of Modified Games and Conventional Learning Models on the Physical Fitness of Junior High School Students

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the effectiveness of two learning models in improving the physical fitness of junior-high-school students. The samples for this quasi experimental research were 40 junior high school students chosen randomly from a population of 96. The instrument used to measure physical fitness is the Indonesian Physical Fitness Test (TKJI). Data is analyzed by using t-test. Data analysis showed that the game-modification learning model can significantly improve the student physical fitness, the conventional learning model did not improve the student physical fitness significantly, and the game-modification learning model is better in improving the physical fitness than the conventional learning. Therefore, it can be concluded that the game-modification learning model is better in improving students’ physical fitness than the conventional learning model.
