Deeper sports participation, this study divided into outdoor sports and not using tools, both of which were associated with physical activity. The results of this study indicate that the analysis of the mean difference test in the control group obtained t 0 of 10.392 and t table of 2.035 with degrees of freedom (db) 32 and = 0.05. The hypothesis is that there are differences in the average physical fitness of students who are not given physical activity and sports treatment. While the results of statistical analysis of the experimental group obtained t 0 of 21.582 and t table 2.035 with degrees of freedom (db) 32 and = 0.05.
