Abstract

Abstract

This study aims to determine the level of physical literacy and physical fitness of students, as well as analyze the relationship between the two variables at the elementary, junior high, and high school levels in Madiun Regency. This study uses a quantitative descriptive method of a correlational approach. The research sample amounted to 90 students consisting of class VI MI Salafiyah Barek (25 students), class IX D MTsN 3 Madiun (30 students), and class X TKRB SMKN 1 Kebonsari (35 students), determined through stratified-cluster random sampling technique. Physical literacy data using the Adolescent Physical Literacy Questionnaire (APLQ) from the International Physical Literacy Association (IPLA), physical fitness data using the Indonesian Student Fitness Test (TKSI). Data analysis was conducted using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, linearity test, and Pearson Product Moment correlation test with the assistance of the IBM SPSS Version 26 program.

The results of the study showed that the physical literacy of elementary school students was generally in the sufficient category (average 92.12), the junior high school level was evenly distributed in the good and adequate category (average 88.73), and the high school level was in the sufficient category (average 86.69); Meanwhile, the physical fitness of the three levels is consecutively dominant in the categories of very good (average 20.88), good (average 18.70), and good (average 21.20). The results of the correlation test showed that there was no significant relationship between physical literacy and physical fitness at the elementary school level (r = 0.022; p = 0.915 > 0.05), but there was a significant positive relationship at the junior high school level with the strong category (r = 0.697; p = 0.000 < 0.05) and at the high school level with the medium category (r = 0.464; p = 0.005 < 0.05).

Descriptively, the close relationship between physical literacy and physical fitness between levels shows that the pattern of junior high school is higher than high school, and both are higher than elementary school. These findings indicate that the role of physical literacy in physical fitness is increasingly evident as the level of education increases, especially starting from the junior high school level, so that strengthening physical literacy-based PJOK learning needs to be carried out in stages and continuously.
