Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan sebuah tes kebugaran jasmani berupa bangku modifikasi Harvard step test yang sesuai dengan karakteristik anak tunanetra tingkat Sekolah Dasar (SD). Penelitian ini menggunakan research and development. Validasi ahli dilakukan oleh tiga pakar yaitu: pakar pendidikan adaptif, pakar tes pengukuran dan pakar konstruksi bangku. Ujicoba lapangan dilakukan terhadap dua sekolah SLB yang ada di DIY. Ujicoba skala kecil dilakukan pada empat siswa tunanetra SLB N 1 Bantul. Ujicoba skala besar dilakukan pada sepuluh siswa SLB A Yaketunis. Uji validitas dan reliabilitas menggunakan validitas empirik dan reliabilitas test-retest yang dilakukan pada tujuh siswa SLB A Yaketunis. Penelitian ini menghasilkan alat tes kebugaran jasmani berupa modifikasi Harvard step test yang dibuat berdasarkan karakteristik anak tunanetra yang memiliki validitas dan reliabilitas baik, sehingga dapat dijadikan alat ukur yang digunakan guru untuk mengevaluasi tingkat kebugaran siswa tunanetra di sekolah. Developing a physical fitness test for blind children using the modified Harvard step test for elementary school Abstract: This study aims to develop a physical fitness test in the form of a modified Harvard step test bench in accordance with the characteristics of blind children, for blind children at the elementary level. This development was modified in two stages: the preliminary stage and the development stage. The research trials were conducted in two schools of SLB in DIY. The small-scale trials were conducted on four students of SLB N 1 Bantul. A large trial was conducted on ten students of SLB A Yaketunis. The validity and reliability were measured using empirical validity and test-retest reliability. The study concludes that the modification of the Harvard step test made based on the characteristics of blind children has good validity and reliability, and so it can be used as a measuring tool used by teachers to evaluate the fitness level of blind children in school.

Background: One of the techniques used in football activities with the ball that must be mastered by players is the dribbling technique. Coaches are required to be more careful in choosing and applying a training method so that players can accomplish the exercises quickly and correctly. Purpose: The study was to determine the extent of the effect, if any, of technical training using the ball on the dribbling speed of 10-12 years old football players. Design/methodology/approach: The design employed in this study was the One Group Pretest-Posttest Design, while the population were soccer players aged 10-12 years at the SELABORA Football School, Yogyakarta State University. Of 27 soccer players were purposely selected to be a sample of the study. Retrieval of data using tests, with an instrument in the form of a dribbling test from the Bobby Charlton model has a validity of 0.973 and reliability of 0.864. The data were analyzed by using the t-test analysis through the prerequisite test for normality and homogeneity. Results: After addressing all data, results of hypothesis testing using t-test obtained t-calculated of 2.324 > t table with α = 0.05. By it, data implied that there is a significant difference between the data before and after being given treatment. The increase in the mean was evident because there was an increase of 0.85 from 18.2900 to 19.1367, with the cumulative sig equal to 0.028 < 0.05. Conclusion: It can be concluded that technical training using the ball has a significant effect of 4.44% on the dribbling speed with a significant improvement between the pre-and posttest results among football players aged 10-12 years and subsequently hypothesis posed is accepted.
