A Fundamental Movement Skill Test for Preschool Children With and Without Overweight: The SALTO Test Battery.

This study aimed to evaluate a 3-factor model of fundamental movement skills in preschool children, incorporating both process- and product-oriented assessment methods, and to test the model's invariance across subgroups of age, body weight and sex. The SALTO test battery was administered to 736 preschool children aged 3-6years. A single-indicator multitrait-multimethod model was specified with Locomotion, Object Manipulation, and Balance as latent factors and a latent method factor to address the multimethod design. Measurement invariance was tested across subgroups using multigroup confirmatory factor analysis. The 3-factor model yielded good fit indices, confirming the construct validity of the SALzburg Together against Obesity test battery. Strong measurement invariance was found across body mass index groups, whereas partial invariance was observed across age and sex groups. Older children outperformed younger ones in all skill domains, children with overweight had lower skills in Balance and Locomotion, and sex differences were found in Object Manipulation and Balance. The SALTO test battery is a structurally valid tool for evaluating and comparing fundamental movement skills in preschool children across age, weight status, and sex. The findings underscore the importance of considering these factors when designing interventions to enhance fundamental movement skills in early childhood.

Well-balanced High-order Finite Difference Weighted Essentially Nonoscillatory Schemes for a First-order Z4 Formulation of the Einstein Field Equations

We develop a new class of high-order accurate well-balanced finite difference (FD) weighted essentially nonoscillatory (WENO) methods for numerical general relativity (GR), which can be applied to any first-order reduction of the Einstein field equations, even if nonconservative terms are present. We choose the first-order nonconservative Z4 formulation of the Einstein equations, which has a built-in cleaning procedure that accounts for the Einstein constraints and that has already shown its ability in keeping stationary solutions stable over long timescales. By introducing auxiliary variables, the vacuum Einstein equations in first-order form constitute a partial differential equation system of 54 equations that is naturally nonconservative. We show how to design FD-WENO schemes that can handle nonconservative products. Different variants of FD WENO are discussed, with an eye to their suitability for higher-order accurate formulations for numerical GR. We successfully solve a set of fundamental tests of numerical GR with up to ninth-order spatial accuracy. Due to their intrinsic robustness, flexibility, and ease of implementation, FD-WENO schemes can effectively replace traditional central finite differencing in any first-order formulation of the Einstein field equations, without any artificial viscosity. When used in combination with well-balancing, the new numerical schemes preserve stationary equilibrium solutions of the Einstein equations exactly. This is particularly relevant in view of the numerical study of the quasi-normal modes of oscillations of relevant astrophysical sources. In conclusion, general relativistic high-energy astrophysics could benefit from this new class of numerical schemes and the ecosystem of desirable capabilities built around them.

Early signs of osteoarthritis in differing rat osteochondral defects.

Preclinical models of osteochondral defects (OCDs) are fundamental test beds to evaluate treatment modalities before clinical translation. To increase the rigor and reproducibility of translational science for a robust "go or no-go," we evaluated disease progression and pain phenotypes within the whole joint for two OCD rat models with same defect size (1.5x 0.8 mm) placed either in the trochlea or medial condyle of femur. Remarkably, we only found subtle transitory changes to gaits of rats with trochlear defect without any discernible effect to allodynia. At 8-weeks post-surgery, anatomical evaluations of joint showed early signs of osteoarthritis with EPIC-microCT. For the trochlear defect, cartilage attenuation was increased in trochlear, medial, and lateral compartments of the femur. For condylar defect, increased cartilage attenuation was isolated to the medial condyle of the femur. Further, the medial ossicle showed signs of deterioration as indicated with decreased bone mineral density and increased bone surface area to volume ratio. Thus, OCD in a weight-bearing region of the femur gave rise to more advanced osteoarthritis phenotype within a unilateral joint compartment. Subchondral bone remodeling was evident in both models without any indication of closure of the articular cartilage surface. We conclude that rat OCD, placed in the trochlear or condylar region of the femur, leads to differing severity of osteoarthritis progression. As found herein, repair of the defect with fibrous tissue and subchondral bone is insufficient to alleviate onset of osteoarthritis. Future therapies using rat OCD model should address joint osteoarthritis in addition to repair itself.

ANÁLISE ACERCA DO CONHECIMENTO DE GESTANTES E PUÉRPERAS SOBRE A IMPORTÂNCIA DA TRIAGEM NEONATAL EM UMA UNIDADE DE SAÚDE E SEUS IMPACTOS QUANDO NEGLIGENCIADA

Neonatal screening based on the “heel prick test” biological matrix is a fundamental test performed in newborns for the screening of genetic, metabolic, and infectious diseases that can lead to health problems or irreversible deficiencies if neglected. The heel prick test is a public health policy adopted in many countries, including Brazil, and is widely recognized as one of the most important procedures in preventive medicine, in order to guarantee comprehensive care and universal access. Thus, the National Neonatal Screening Program (PNTN) was created in 2001, to promote and implement screening actions with a special focus on prevention, early intervention, and monitoring of children whose disease is included in the program's criteria. It is necessary that the health team guide the pregnant woman during the prenatal period, and the puerperal women, as well as their respective companions, on how and where to perform the “heel prick test”, highlighting its purpose to ensure effective awareness. Therefore, the present study aims to analyze the level of knowledge about neonatal screening in pregnant and postpartum women in the public health network. As well as introduce them to the importance of tracking in a timely manner to manage positive cases through monitoring and follow-up during treatment.

Enhanced Quantum Entanglement Detection of General Two Qubits Systems Based on Modified CNN‐BiLSTM Model

AbstractEntanglement is a key element in quantum information processing. The detection of entanglement is crucial in many long‐range quantum information tasks, including secure communication and fundamental tests of quantum physics, but it is also highly resource‐intensive. Even for simple 2‐qubits systems, satisfactory detection is challenging. In this work, a modified entanglement detection model combining a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a bidirectional long short‐term memory network (BiLSTM) is proposed. It shows that the proposed model can effectively extract the deep features and correlations, enabling accurate classification of simple quantum states, even with only a few tens of training samples. When trained with a large number of highly random samples, the model exhibits outstanding fitting capability, resulting in the reliable classification of nearly all common 2‐qubits systems. Furthermore, the model exhibits exceptional adaptability and significant application potential in higher‐dimensional systems.

Prototyping of vibration-sensing-actuation device which is contained high-power electrodynamic speaker for diagnosis of actual water main network

Water leakage and bursting due to deterioration of water distribution mains lead to water outages and economic losses. To prevent the accidents, we are conducting research to develop measurements and diagnostic methods for buried water mains. In this study, we focused on the shift in eigenfrequencies of in-plane bending vibration of rings because of deterioration. Therefore, we are developing the vibration-sensing-actuation device which detects the frequency changes of in-plane bending mode. The water distribution network is mainly composed from cast iron pipe. Moreover, the attached facilities for example fire hydrant and water valve are contained. Since attached facilities are fabricated from cast iron component, actual water main network is heavy facilities which have high rigidity. In order to excite the desired in-plane bending mode in heavy components, the proposed sensing-actuation device requires the high-power actuator. In this study, we introduce the high-power electromagnetic actuator more than 100W output into the proposed device. Furthermore, the fundamental operational tests were conducted under the various input signals in the laboratory situations. In addition, the field operation confirmation was performed in an actual water main network.

A Simplified Calibration Procedure for DEM Simulations of Granular Material Flow

The discrete element method (DEM) has emerged as an essential computational tool in geotechnical engineering for the simulation of granular materials, offering significant advantages over traditional continuum-based methods such as the finite element method (FEM) and the finite difference method (FDM). The DEM’s ability to model particle-level interactions, including contact forces, rotations, and particle breakage, allows for a more precise understanding of granular media behavior under various loading conditions. However, accurate DEM simulations require meticulous calibration of input parameters, such as particle density, stiffness, and friction, to effectively replicate real-world behavior. This study proposes a simplified calibration procedure, intended to be conducted prior to any granular material flow DEM modeling, based on three fundamental physical tests: bulk density, surface friction, and angle of repose. The ability of these tests, conducted on dry quartz sand, to accurately determine DEM micromechanical parameters, was validated through numerical simulation of cylinder tests with varying height-to-radius ratios. The results demonstrated that this calibration approach effectively reduced computational complexity while maintaining high accuracy, with validation errors of 0% to 12%. This research underscores the efficacy of simplified DEM calibration methods in enhancing the predictive reliability of simulations, particularly for sand modeling in geotechnical applications.

Orbital Precession in Janis–Newman–Winicour Spacetime

We have investigated the Janis–Newman–Winicour spacetime through three fundamental tests of theories of gravity, namely, gravitational lensing, perihelion shift, and redshift due to gravitational force. Focusing initially on the circular motion of a massive particle within the equatorial plane, the analysis disregards external scalar field interactions. The Janis–Newman–Winicour (JNW) spacetime’s unique parameters, mass (M) and the scalar parameter (n), are examined, revealing an intriguing relationship between the innermost stable circular orbit position of the test particle and the scalar field parameter. The study also explores photon motion around a gravitational object in JNW spacetime, revealing the expansion of the photon sphere alongside a diminishing shadow, influenced by the external scalar field. Despite these complexities, gravitational bending of light remains consistent with general relativity predictions. The investigation extends to perihelion precession, where the trajectory of a massive particle in JNW spacetime exhibits eccentricity-dependent shifts, distinguishing it from Schwarzschild spacetime. Finally, oscillatory motion of massive particles in JNW spacetime is explored, providing analytical expressions for epicyclic frequencies using perturbation methods. The study concludes with the application of MCMC analyses to constrain the JNW spacetime parameters based on observational data.

Fundamental Tests of White Dwarf Cooling Physics with Wide Binaries

We present follow-up spectroscopy and a detailed model atmosphere analysis of 29 wide double white dwarfs, including eight systems with a crystallized C/O core member. We use the state-of-the-art evolutionary models to constrain the physical parameters of each star, including the total age. Assuming that the members of wide binaries are coeval, any age difference between the binary members can be used to test the cooling physics for white dwarf stars, including potential delays due to crystallization and 22Ne distillation. We use our control sample of 14 wide binaries with noncrystallized members to show that this method works well; the control sample shows an age difference of only ΔAge = −0.03 ± 0.15 Gyr between its members. For the eight crystallized C/O core systems we find a cooling anomaly of ΔAge = 1.13−1.07+1.20 Gyr. Even though our results are consistent with a small additional cooling delay (∼1 Gyr) from 22Ne distillation and other neutron-rich impurities, the large uncertainties make this result not statistically significant. Nevertheless, we rule out cooling delays longer than 3.6 Gyr at the 99.7% (3σ) confidence level for 0.6–0.9 M ⊙ white dwarfs. Further progress requires larger samples of wide binaries with crystallized massive white dwarf members. We provide a list of subgiant + white dwarf binaries that could be used for this purpose in the future.

Direct generation of time-energy-entangled W triphotons in atomic vapor.

Entangled multiphoton sources are essential for both fundamental tests of quantum foundations and building blocks of contemporary optical quantum technologies. While efforts over the past three decades have focused on creating multiphoton entanglement through multiplexing existing biphoton sources with linear optics and postselections, our work presents a groundbreaking approach. We observe genuine continuous-mode time-energy-entangled W-class triphotons with an unprecedented production rate directly generated through spontaneous six-wave mixing (SSWM) in a four-level triple-Λ atomic vapor cell. Using electromagnetically induced transparency and coherence control, our SSWM scheme allows versatile narrowband triphoton generation with advantageous properties, including long temporal coherence and controllable waveforms. This advancement is ideal for applications like long-distance quantum communications and information processing, bridging single photons and neutral atoms. Most importantly, our work establishes a reliable and efficient genuine triphoton source, facilitating accessible research on multiphoton entanglement.

The circular velocity and halo mass functions of galaxies in the nearby Universe

ABSTRACT The circular velocity function (CVF) of galaxies is a fundamental test of the Lambda cold dark matter ($\Lambda$CDM) paradigm as it traces the variation of galaxy number densities with circular velocity ($v_{\rm {circ}}$), a proxy for dynamical mass. Previous observational studies of the CVF have either been based on H i-rich galaxies, or encompassed low-number statistics and probed narrow ranges in $v_{\rm {circ}}$. We present a benchmark computation of the CVF between $100\,{\text{and}}\,350\ \rm {km\ s^{-1}}$ using a sample of 3527 nearby Universe galaxies, representative for stellar masses between $10^{9.2}\,{\text{and}}\,10^{11.9} \rm {{\rm M}_{\odot }}$. We find significantly larger number densities above 150 $\rm {km\ s^{-1}}$ compared to results from H i surveys, pertaining to the morphological diversity of our sample. Leveraging the fact that circular velocities are tracing the gravitational potential of haloes, we compute the halo mass function (HMF), covering $\sim$1 dex of previously unprobed halo masses ($10^{11.7}{\!-\!}10^{12.7} \rm {{\rm M}_{\odot }}$). The HMF for our sample, representative of the galaxy population with $M_{200}\geqslant 10^{11.35} \rm {{\rm M}_{\odot }}$, shows that spiral morphologies contribute 67 per cent of the matter density in the nearby Universe, while early types account for the rest. We combine our HMF data with literature measurements based on H i kinematics and group/cluster velocity dispersions. We constrain the functional form of the HMF between $10^{10.5}-10^{15.5} \rm {{\rm M}_{\odot }}$, finding a good agreement with $\Lambda$CDM predictions. The halo mass range probed encompasses 72$\substack{+5 -6}$ per cent ($\Omega _{\rm {M,10.5-15.5}} = 0.227 \pm 0.018$) of the matter density in the nearby Universe; 31$\substack{+5 -6}$ per cent is accounted for by haloes below $10^{12.7}\rm {{\rm M}_{\odot }}$ occupied by a single galaxy.

Resolved-sideband cooling of a single Be+9 ion in a cryogenic multi-Penning-trap for discrete symmetry tests with (anti-)protons

Manipulating the motion of individual trapped ions at the single quantum level has become standard practice in radio-frequency ion traps, enabling sweeping advances in quantum information processing and precision metrology. The key step for motional-state engineering is ground-state cooling. Full motional control also bears great potential to explore another regime of sensitivities for fundamental physics tests in Penning traps. Here we demonstrate the key enabling step by implementing resolved-sideband cooling on the axial mode of a single Be+9 ion in a 5 Tesla cryogenic Penning trap. The system has been developed for the implementation of high-precision antimatter experiments to test the fundamental symmetries of the standard model with the highest accuracy in the baryonic sector. We measure an axial phonon number of n¯z=0.10(4) after cooling and demonstrate that the axial heating rate in our system is compatible with the implementation of quantum logic spectroscopy of (anti-)protons.

"Track style" children's fundamental movement skills test: construction and verification of an efficient evaluation system.

This study aimed to develop an efficient tool for assessing children's fundamental motor skills, the "Track style" Children's Fundamental Movement Skills Test (TCFMST), based on theories of motor development integrated with Chinese cultural context and physical education teaching situations. Starting from a literature analysis, the study selected items from existing fundamental movement skill (FMS) assessments, textbooks, physical education and health standards, and children's movement guidelines to construct a pool of test items. Subsequently, the items were screened and optimized using the Delphi method. Finally, the feasibility, discrimination, difficulty, reliability, and validity of the constructed test were examined using testing methods. The TCFMST includes three dimensions: locomotive skills, body control skills, and manipulative skills, with a total of 10 items. The difficulty and discrimination of each item are appropriate; the correlation coefficients for retest reliability range from 0.789 to 0.943 (p < 0.01). The results of exploratory factor analysis indicate that the common factors align with the hypothesized three dimensions, indicating good structural validity of the test. The concurrent validity results show a correlation coefficient of -0.510 (p < 0.01) between the TCFMST and the total score of TGMD-3, indicating a moderate correlation between the two tests. The TCFMST developed in this study has good difficulty, discrimination, reliability, and validity. It also features strong operability, a short duration, and high interest. It can serve as an important tool for monitoring children's fundamental motor skill levels.

Material Changes of Bimetallic Ag–Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Sn Electrocatalysts during Alkaline Oxygen Reduction in Fundamental Versus Alkaline Membrane Exchange Fuel Cell Conditions

The more apparent challenges of climate change drastically increase the global demand for sustainable fuel production and usage.1 In this context, hydrogen fuel cells (FCs) powered by renewable electricity are among the promising technologies.2 Addressing the sluggish cathode reaction in FCs, the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), these devices hold immense potential for sustainable energy conversion and storage. An alkaline environment allows for the utilization of more abundant and cost-effective metals in contrast to current platinum-based catalysts. Silver (Ag), for instance, exhibits high selectivity for the ORR, i.e., forming hydroxide instead of peroxide.3 When combined with secondary metals, bimetallic Ag catalysts show enhanced activity, making them viable alternatives to platinum-group materials for ORR.In our highly collaborative research, we investigated the material transformations of bimetallic Ag thin films with chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), and tin (Sn) as secondary metals for ORR electrocatalysis in fundamental rotating disk electrode (RDE) setups and the application device, anion-exchange membrane FC (AEMFC). Grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction (GI-XRD) conducted prior to electrochemical testing reveals no evidence of alloying except for the Ag-Sn bimetallic thin film. However, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicates a shift of the Ag 3d peaks to higher binding energies for all catalysts, suggesting a hybridization of Ag and the secondary metals. The composition of the metal surface, native oxide formation, ORR performance, and material changes post-RDE testing vary distinctly among the Ag bimetallic catalysts depending on the secondary metal. Intriguingly, performance is either enhanced (Ag-Co, Ag-Sn), maintained with reduced Ag content (Ag-Fe, Ag-Cr), or falls in between the two monometallic materials (Ag-Ni) compared to monometallic Ag thin films. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations offer insights into the catalyst performances and changes in metal oxidation states and surface composition prior and post electrocatalysis. AEMFC tests reveal promising performances under device conditions contradicting our fundamental RDE measurements. The integration of fundamental and application device tests, along with material characterization and DFT calculations, enables a comprehensive exploration of material changes under varying electrochemical conditions. This underscores the complexity of bimetallic catalysts and the importance of testing under device conditions, positioning Ag-bimetallic catalysts as highly promising alternatives to platinum-group metal catalysts for alkaline ORR.

Improving Accuracy and Reliability of Hearing Tests: Measurement Standards for Audiometric Devices.

Pure-tone audiometry, using an audiometer, is the fundamental hearing test for diagnosing hearing loss. The requirements of the devices and the detailed process for calibrating the related equipment are described in international standards. However, traceable calibration and uncertainty evaluation processes are not widely accepted or applied to the qualification and maintenance of audiometric equipment. Here, we briefly review standard measurement systems for audiometric devices and introduce their calibration procedures. The uncertainty of each calibration process was investigated, and its impact on hearing test results was considered. Our findings show that the traceability of each procedure can be secured, satisfying the uncertainty requirement and being sufficiently smaller than the permissible deviation from the audiometer requirement. To guarantee the objectivity and reliability of hearing tests and maintain low uncertainty, close cooperation and mutual understanding between the metrology field and the medical community are necessary.

Inducing and Understanding Pseudocapacitive Behavior in an Electrophoretically Deposited Lithium Iron Phosphate Li-Metal Battery as an Electrochemical Test Platform.

Our study has effectively employed electrophoretic deposition (EPD) using AC voltage to develop a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) Li-ion battery featuring pseudocapacitive properties and improved high C-rate performance. This method has significantly improved the battery's specific capacity, achieving an impressive 100 mAhg-1 at a 5 C discharge rate, which showcases its superior high-rate capability. Additionally, the battery displayed excellent reversibility during its performance cycles. These results confirm the EPD method's efficacy in improving LFP electrode performance, yielding notable improvements in cycling stability and high-rate capability. The enhanced capacity and high-rate performance of the electrophoretic-deposited LFP electrodes are largely due to the fast kinetics facilitated by pseudocapacitive behavior-induced charge storage and a high Li-ion diffusion constant measured in our EPD-deposited LFP electrodes. This underscores the practicality of our approach and the development of a fundamental test platform to investigate the pseudocapacitive charge storage mechanism in electrodes with typical battery-like behavior.

Effective algorithms for calculation of quasi-probability distributions of bright “banana” states

Non-Gaussian quantum states, described by negative-valued Wigner functions, are important for both fundamental tests of quantum physics and for emerging quantum information technologies. One of the promising ways of generating a non-Gaussian state from a coherent one is the use of cubic (Kerr) optical nonlinearity, which produces the characteristic banana-like shape of the resulting quantum states. However, the Kerr effect is weak in highly transparent optical materials (dimensionless nonlinearity parameter Γ≲10−6). Therefore, a big number of the photons in the optical mode (n≳106) is necessary to generate an observable non-Gaussianity. In this case, the direct approach to calculation of the Wigner function becomes extremely computationally expensive. In this work, we develop quick algorithms for computing the Husimi and Wigner quasi-probability functions of these non-Gaussian states by means of the Kerr nonlinearity. This algorithm can be used for any realistic values of the photon numbers and the nonlinearity.

Mechanical Characterization of Hybrid Steel Wire Mesh/Basalt/Epoxy Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composite Laminates

Hybrid composite materials have been widely used to advance the mechanical responses of fiber-reinforced composites by utilizing different types of fibers and fillers in a single polymeric matrix. This study incorporated three types of fibers: basalt woven fiber and steel (AISI304) wire meshes with densities of 100 and 200. These fibers were mixed with epoxy resin to generate plain composite laminates. Three fundamental mechanical tests (tensile, compression, and shear) were conducted according to the corresponding ASTM standards to characterize the steel wire mesh/basalt/epoxy FRP composites used as plain composite laminates. To investigate the flexural behavior of the hybrid laminates, various layer configurations and thickness ratios were examined using a design of experiments (DoE) matrix. Hybrid samples were chosen for flexural testing, and the same procedure was employed to develop a finite element (FE) model. Material properties from the initial mechanical testing procedure were integrated into plain and hybrid composite laminate simulations. The second FE model simulated the behavior of hybrid laminates under flexural loading; this was validated through experimental data. The results underwent statistical analysis, highlighting the optimal configuration of hybrid composite laminates in terms of flexural strength and modulus; we found an increase of up to 25% in comparison with the plain composites. This research provides insights into the potential improvements offered by hybrid composite laminates, generating numerical models for predicting various laminate configurations produced using hybrid steel wire mesh/basalt/epoxy FRP composites.

Hydraulic property variations with depth in a loess mudstone landslide

In areas where loess is distributed, landslides represent a significant geohazard with severe implications. Among these events, loess-mudstone landslides are particularly prevalent, posing substantial risks to the safety and property of local residents, and moisture plays a pivotal role as a key factor in causing these disasters. In this study, the hydraulic properties of the soils along the longitudinal section of an ongoing loess-mudstone landslide are investigated through the variation of soil water characteristic curves, which are subsequently fitted by utilizing van Genuchten model. Moreover, a comprehensive experimental investigation was conducted on the loess, mudstone, and loess-mudstone mixtures to facilitate analysis, including X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation, particle size distribution (PSD) analysis, along with fundamental geotechnical tests for parameter determination. It is found that mudstone and loess have distinct SWCC distribution. The SWCC of loess at various depths exhibits a similar distribution pattern due to the occurrence of landslide. The SWCC distribution of loess-mudstone mixture displays a transitional trend between the SWCC of mudstone and that of loess, and the water retention capacity increases as the mudstone content increases. The experimental findings have demonstrated notable agreement between each other and exhibited a satisfactory level of concurrence with the observed phenomena in geological surveys.

Efektifitas belajar gerak dasar berbasis permainan tradisional Aceh untuk siswa sekolah dasar

The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of teaching fundamental movements using traditional Acehnese sports among elementary school children. This study employs descriptive quantitative research methodologies. The participants in this study consisted of primary school pupils from upper and lower socioeconomic classes. The study included 35 students, and its efficacy was tested. The findings of this study indicate that kids in primary school might enhance their fundamental motions by utilizing traditional Acehnese games. This can be demonstrated by the disparity between the average pretest and posttest scores, which amounts to 19.34286. This discrepancy reflects the variation in scores obtained from the fundamental movement ability test. Moreover, the key finding from this data set is the computed t value of 68.864 with degrees of freedom (df) equal to 34, resulting in an associated table value of 2.032. When comparing the estimated t value to the t table, it is found that the sig value or the p-value is 0.000, which is greater than 0.05. Therefore, the null hypothesis (H0) is discarded. Consequently, there are disparities in the outcomes of the fundamental movement aptitude tests conducted on the experimental population before (pretest) and following (posttest) therapy utilizing the basic motion learning model derived from traditional Acehnese games. The novel aspect of acquiring fundamental movements through traditional Acehnese games serves as both a means of learning these motions and a platform for understanding the inherent values inside these games
