Abstract

Previous researches have discussed how learning Physical Education (PE) alone is not enough to improve students’ physical fitness. For this reason, PE class serves as a tool for forming healthy lifestyles through active participation in physical activity (PA) and sports. This article aims to explain the improvement in student’s physical fitness through the regulation of students’ daily physical activities (DPA) in PE class and outside PE class. The research employed a randomized pretest-posttest design. The research subjects were selected using random cluster sampling from a population of 21 elementary schools. The student’s DPAwas monitored using a DPA card, while their physical fitness was measured using MFT. The data analysis employed were descriptive statistics, t-tests, and ANCOVA. The results showed that group differences and increasingPA simultaneously affect physical fitness. While group differences do not affect physical fitness, PA significantly manages to be the moderator of increasing physical fitness.
