and technology application was carried out in the elementary school football field number 84 of Sinjai Regency with the target of
all physical education teachers and elementary school students numbering 71 people. The results achieved are physical education
teachers realize the importance of understanding and mastery of physical fitness level tests of elementary school students aged
