Correlation Analysis Between Locomotor Movement Components and Total Motor Performance Score of Elementary School Students

The rising prevalence of online gaming among children has reduced physical activity, impaired fundamental movement skill development and led to poor motor coordination. This study aims to determine the basic locomotor skills of students in elementary school. This research is a study that describes the importance of physical activity on students using a quantitative approach. A total of 34 students contributed to this study with the sampling technique, namely Proportional Stratified Random Sampling. The instrument used was the Test of Gross Motor Development, 2nd edition (TGMD-2). This study was conducted using 6 test sub-items, namely: run test, gallop test, hop test, leap test, horizontal jump test, and slide test, and then the data was analyzed using Pearson correlation. The results of Pearson's correlation showed a significant relationship between running and sliding (r = 0.438, p < 0.01), running and jumping (r = 0.418, p < 0.05), and jumping and sliding (r = 0.418, p < 0.05). Other skills did not show significant correlations. These findings indicate that some dynamic skills have similar motor interrelationships, which could form the basis of physical education program development.
