Cardiorespiratory training models based on waste utilization for elementary school students

Abstract

Abstract The aim of this research and development was to produce a product in the form of a waste utilization model book for elementary school students so that it can provide guidance for physical education teachers in providing fun, creative and meaningful learning. This study used the Borg and Gall Research and Development (RnD) method which consisted of ten steps, the subjects in this study were students of Tanjungsari Elementary School and Blanakan Elementary School with 68 subjects. The design of the experimental study was based on one group pretest posttest design. The stages of this study were: preliminary research, experts’ judgment, large group test, small group test and effectiveness test. The effectiveness test in this research was using Harvard Step Test. The results of the model effectiveness test showed that there was an increase in the use of waste for physical fitness, the pretest result was 33.57 and posttest was 36.63. From the data above, it can be concluded that there was an improvement after treatment. The results of the effectiveness test showed that the results of t-score = 7.818, df = 62 and p-value = 0.00 <0.05, which means that there were significant differences in the physical fitness of primary school students before and after the treatment. It can be concluded that the waste utilization model for physical fitness of elementary school students is effective and able to improve physical fitness.
