Abstract

Gobak Sodor, also known as the salty pole, is one of the traditional games played by two teams of three to 10 players with an even number of participants. To win at gobak sodor, you must stop your opponent before they reach the field line, which is 9 m long and 4 m broad. The goal of this research is to help primary school pupils become more physically active and to reinforce their moral principles. 30 children from Muhammadiyah Baturan Special Program Elementary School Karanganyar, Central Java, were the sample for this study. There were 15 male and 15 female pupils in each group. The sampling method serves auxiliary objectives. Physical fitness exams and observations of the gathering of student character ratings are used as data collection strategies. Use of a quantitative description as a data analysis tool. Data analysis using the SPSS program version 26 and a paired test with a significance level of 0.05. According to the study’s findings, (1) Elementary School Muhammadiyah students have a sufficient level of physical fitness, and (2) there are differences in physical fitness between students who actively participate in sports activities and students who are passive, particularly when playing games like gobak sodor. One of the methods employed in this study to promote the moral character and physical fitness of primary school kids is the age-old game of gobak sodor. Future studies should take into account the geographic regions, social contexts, and circuit games linked to related studies.
