Background. A learning model is needed for high school students using virtual reality because it is expected to impact the activities and achievement of PJOK learning objectives positively. Objectives. This study aims to determine the effect of providing a physical education learning model on improving students' physical fitness based on virtual reality. Methods. The research sample is high school students in grade IX. After the pre-test, all samples were given a physical education learning model and a post-test was carried out. The results of the pretests-posttests recorded were physical fitness data using TKJI. Results. The provision of the learning model significantly influenced the improvement of physical fitness, characterized by the acquisition of the calculation of the obtained sig value. (2-tailed) from 0.001 < 0.05. Conclusions. Based on the Physical Education learning model, there is a difference in the average fitness results of students. Based on the testing of this hypothesis, it was concluded that the VR learning model influenced the physical fitness of high school students. This means that training programs can be recommended to be implemented to improve fitness. © 2025, Society of Aging and Physical Activity (SAPA). All rights reserved.
