“…The functions of gross motor skills are (a) self-help skills, (b) social assistance skills, (c) play skills, and (d) school skills (Djuanda & Adipura, 2020). As stated (Weiss, 2020); (Akbar & Tohar, 2021) that motor movements are a strong basis and foundation in supporting learning activities, playing, and socialization, and also a form of building children's self-confidence. Motoric abilities are useful for children for children's cognitive development (Veldman et al, 2019); (Lee et al, 2020).…”

This study aims to determine the relationship between motor skills and the concentration of upper-class students in public elementary schools in Bantul, Yogyakarta. This type of research is quantitative with a correlational approach. The population in this study were high school students in public elementary schools in Bantul Yogyakarta, totaling 125 students. Motoric ability instruments use Barrow Motor Ability for Elementary Schools, which include: Shutlle-run test 4 x 10 meters, test to throw and catch a ball 1 meter from a wall, Stork Stand Positional Balance test, 30-meter sprint test, while physical education learning achievements use report value. The data analysis technique uses Pearson Correlation Product Moment analysis. The results showed a significant relationship between motor skills and the concentration of upper-class students in elementary schools. There was a relationship between motor skills and physical education learning achievements of students, with an r count of 0.395 and a coefficient of determination of 15.60%. The correlation coefficient is positive, meaning that if the motor skills get better, the physical education learning achievement will get better. For teachers and students, the results of this study can be a reference for improving motor skills because they affect Physical Education learning achievement. For other researchers, research can be carried out with other independent variables so that more variables that affect motor skills can be identified.

“…In this case, parents around adolescents who are increasing their development should observe the level of adolescent development and plan various activities that can stimulate it. Sports benefit children's motor development (Jayanthi et al, 2022;Rigaud & Quinn, 2023), in addition to physical development, exercise is also very good for children's brain and psychological development (Weiss, 2020). Participation of adolescents in sports groups will improve their physical, psychological, and psychosocial health;…”

This study aimed to determine the intervention of hockey games in improving motor skills and physical fitness in adolescents. The research method used in this study was an experiment involving a control group. This research uses a pre-test-post-test randomized control group design, with a total sampling of 30 adolescents divided into 2 groups, namely the experimental group and the control group, each comprising 15 people. The determination of group division is divided randomly, and all subjects involved are used. Instruments used Children's Psychomotricity and Aptitude Scales (MSCA, USA). Physical fitness using physical fitness test instruments, which have been adjusted to the characteristics of the research subjects. The results showed that the intervention for 12 weeks in indoor hockey activity, intervention, and gross motor intervention showed a significance value of 0.034. Because the significance value < 0.05, Ho was rejected, compared to the results of participants in the study who were given an independent intervention program. The physical fitness data shows that the pre-test standard deviation is 1.30440 compared to the post-test 1.61211, this means that there is an increase in adolescent physical fitness. Thus, indoor hockey intervention has a significant influence on the physical fitness of adolescents. These findings prove that interventions in the form of physically engaging activities focusing on floor hockey sports may be a viable option for improving Motor Proficiency and Physical Fitness in Adolescents.

This study examines the Senam Profil Pelajar Pancasila (SPPP) program, an innovative early childhood education initiative in Indonesia that integrates physical development with cultural and moral education. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach at TK Darussalam, the research involved observations and interviews with teachers, administrators, and parents. The program aims to extend beyond physical development, emphasizing cultural identity and moral values. Despite challenges such as movement complexity and diverse learning needs, SPPP has shown positive impacts on children's kinesthetic intelligence, motor skills, and socio-emotional development. This research fills a gap in empirical studies on integrated educational programs, aligning with contemporary educational paradigms that advocate for holistic development. The findings suggest that SPPP is an effective model for comprehensive early childhood education, highlighting the importance of combining physical activities with cultural and moral education. This study contributes significant insights to the field, underscoring the potential of such integrative approaches in diverse educational contexts.
