A Survey of Long Jump Ability Learning Outcome among Students at SMPN 5 Kelapa Bangka Belitung

Abstract

This study aims to determine the learning outcomes of the long jump ability of SMPN 5 Kelapa Bangka Belitung students by involving 38 students as research subjects. The assessment was carried out through direct observation of the practice of long jump which included four aspects of the technique, namely preset, repulsion, hovering attitude, and landing. The results of observations showed that students' long jump ability was in three categories, namely the high category of 12 students (31.6%), the medium category of 16 students (42.1%), and the low category of 10 students (26.3%). This indicates that most students are in the medium category, which means that students have understood the basics of long jump motion but still need to improve technique consistency especially in the hovering and landing phases. Students in the high category showed better mastery of technique, especially in initial speed and repulsion strength, while students in the lower category experienced difficulties in coordination and leg muscle strength. Thus, a more structured learning strategy, the use of clear demonstration methods, increased strength training, and continuous feedback are needed so that student learning outcomes can improve.
