Abstract

The aim of this study was to improve the physical fitness of students at Bina Darma University in Palembang. The South Sumatera Bersatu gymnastics model was identified as one of the potential methods to improve students' physical fitness. The purpose of this study was to analyse the effectiveness of using the South Sumatera Bersatu Gymnastics Model in improving the physical fitness of students. The scope of the study included students with an average age of 19 years. The method used in this study is an experiment with a group pre-test and post-test design. The research sample was taken through purposive sampling with an age criterion of 19 years. The intervention in the form of implementing the Bersatu Sumatera Selatan Bersatu model was carried out for 8 sessions in each session doing 5 repetitions. Physical fitness data were collected before and after the intervention using the Indonesian Physical Fitness Test. The results showed that the use of the South Sumatra Selatan Gymnastics Model significantly improved physical fitness. The resulting t-scores (a total of 41,583 for the pre-test and 64,673 for the post-test) indicate that these differences are highly statistically significant, with p-values (Sig.) that are extremely low (p<0.000). There was a significant improvement in various physical fitness indicators such as muscle strength, flexibility, endurance and speed after the students enrolled in the gymnastics programme.The conclusion South Sumatera Bersatu gymnastics model is effective in improving the physical fitness of students in Palembang. This research suggests that this gymnastics model could be adopted as part of physical education programmes in schools to improve students' health and fitness.
