Abstract

The purpose of this studyis to determine how the traditional game dopa affects the physical fitness level of fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 30 Nitu, Kota Bima. This research uses an experimental method and applies a total sampling technique, with a sample of 17 students. The study employs a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The exercise program was conducted over four weeks, with sessions held twice a week. The test used to measure physical fitness was the Indonesian Physical Fitness Test (TKJI). In this study, t-test statistics were used to test the hypothesis. The results showed that the calculated t-value was -2.936 and the t-table value was 1.746, indicating that the calculated t is greater than the t-table (-2.936 > 1.746), and the significance value of 0.01 is less than 0.05 (sig < 0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that the Gopa game has a significant effect on improving the physical fitness of students at SD Negeri 30 Nitu, Kota Bima, as the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted.
