Abstract

Locomotor movement is an important component in a child's development. The Efforts to improve locomotor movements can be improved through training, one of them is Fun Game. The problem found in this study is the low locomotor movement and concentration of locomotor elementary school students at State Elementary School 04 Tanjung Baru, Tanah Datar Regency, West Sumatra, Indonesia. The condition of weak low locomotor causes children to experience movement problems in the future. An exercise approach is needed that can improve the child's locomotor motion. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the implementation of the Fun Game game model on the development of locomotor ability movements and concentration of students of State Elementary School 04 Tanjung Baru Tanah Datar Regency. The fun game training model is designed to combine several forms of movement consisting of running, jumping, jumping over obstacles, dribbling the ball, zig zag running, and others. The game training model named “Fun Game”. This type of research is a quasy experiment, with Two group randomized pre-test post-test control design, with a total of 16 times treatments. The experimental group was given with Fun Game treatment, the control group was given with locomotor movement Physical Education material. The population of this study were all students who took part in Physical Education lessons. This research used purposive random sampling technique, and sample size was 40 people. Locomotor motion data was taken using the Gross Motor Development Test (TGMD) for ages 3-10 years, while concentration was taken using the grid concentration exercise test. Data analysis techniques using t test analysis. The results of this study are: There is an significant effect of the application of the Fun Game model on Locomotor Motion and Concentration, with a value of α < 0.05. © 2023, Editura Universitatii din Pitesti.
