PELATIHAN PEMBELAJARAN MODIFIKASI BERMAIN PADA RUANG LINGKUP AKTIVITAS SENAM DALAM PENINGKATAN KEBUGARAN JASMANI SISWA SMAN 1 SUTERA PESISIR SELATAN

Abstrak

The physical fitness level of the Indonesian population is increasingly concerning, with only 5.86% of the population categorized as having good fitness, while approximately 76% fall into the low to very low categories. This condition requires solutions through sports activities, including within the school environment. However, physical education learning at SMAN 1 Sutera, Pesisir Selatan, still follows a conventional approach, resulting in monotonous instruction and low student motivation. Based on this situation analysis, the main problem faced by the partner school is the absence of an innovative and engaging learning model in gymnastics activities to improve students’ physical fitness.
This community service activity was carried out through counseling, demonstrations, and hands-on practice on game-based modifications within gymnastics activities, particularly forward roll and backward roll skills. The training was conducted in one day, beginning with classroom material delivery followed by game-based practice sessions on the field. The results indicate high student enthusiasm, a more enjoyable learning atmosphere, and students’ ability to perform basic gymnastics techniques according to the provided stages. Game-based learning also increased students’ physical engagement, positively contributing to fitness components such as flexibility, strength, and endurance.
The discussion shows that the game-modified approach in gymnastics learning can serve as an alternative solution to the longstanding issue of low learning motivation and has the potential to support improvements in students' physical fitness. This model does not conflict with the learning objectives; instead, it enriches the process and provides a more varied, interactive, and applicable learning experience at school.
