Traditional games are a form of physical activity based on local culture that has great potential to be developed in physical education learning. One traditional game that is still widely known and played in various regions of Indonesia is the egrang (stilt-walking) game, which requires physical activity and body balance skills. This study aims to analyze physical activity and balance in the egrang game as a local culture-based physical activity among eighth-grade junior high school students. This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive-analytic method and a cross-sectional design. The research subjects consisted of 37 eighth-grade junior high school students selected using a total sampling technique. Physical activity was measured through heart rate before and after playing the egrang game, while balance was measured using static and dynamic balance tests. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, including mean, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum values. The results showed an increase in heart rate after playing the egrang game, indicating engagement in physical activity with light to moderate intensity. In addition, the balance measurements indicated that students had good static and dynamic balance abilities, with a dominance in dynamic balance. These findings suggest that the egrang game not only holds cultural value but also has potential as an effective physical activity to improve students’ physical activity levels and balance. Therefore, the egrang game is suitable to be utilized as an alternative in physical education learning that is contextual, meaningful, and based on local culture.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between leg length and the results of running 100 meters in athletic athletes of the University of Muhammadiyah Sorong. The study used a quantitative approach with a correlational design to determine the level of relationship between anthropometric variables and sprint performance. The research sample amounted to 30 student athletes who were selected through purposive sampling techniques with the criteria of active students, registered as members of the Athletic UKM, and in good physical condition at the time of data collection. Leg length was measured using an anthropometer from the superior anterior iliac spina to the sole of the foot, while 100-metre running performance was measured using a digital stopwatch on a standard track, with two trials and best times taken. Data analysis was carried out through descriptive statistics, normality tests, and Pearson Product Moment correlation tests at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed a significant negative relationship between leg length and 100-meter running time (r = -0.62; p < 0.05). The determination coefficient of 0.38 showed that leg length contributed 38% to the variation in the results of the 100-meter run. These findings indicate that the longer the athlete's legs, the greater the potential to produce longer steps that support the achievement of maximum speed. Thus, leg length is one of the factors that contribute to sprint performance, although it is still influenced by other factors such as muscle strength, power, and running technique.

Pamelo orange plants represent a significant horticultural commodity with substantial economic value and are extensively cultivated in Pangkajene Regency. The quality of Pamelo fruit in Padanglampe Village varies, with some fruits being sweet and others slightly sour, suggesting that differing soil conditions may influence fruit quality. This study aims to investigate the soil quality of Pamelo plants in Padanglampe Village, Ma'rang District, Pangkajene Regency. A quantitative descriptive method was employed, involving the collection of secondary data, field surveys, primary data collection through soil sampling, and laboratory analysis of minimum data sets (pH, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, organic carbon, and exchangeable potassium). Soil quality indices were analyzed using statistical tests, including principal component analysis (PCA). The findings indicated that soil pH was slightly acidic, organic carbon content was low, and nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium levels were categorized as medium. Correlation tests revealed a significant negative correlation at the 1% alpha level between bulk density and porosity, while organic carbon and soil pH were positively correlated at the 5% alpha level. The scree plot showed three eigenvalues corresponding to the main components in PCA1, PCA2, and PCA3 analyses, which can be further examined to determine the Soil Quality Index (SQI) value. The SQI-PC1 value of 0.55 was categorized as moderate, while the SQI-PC2 and SQI-PC3 values were classified as very low. However, the comprehensive soil quality index (CSQI) value was 0.97, indicating outstanding soil quality. This finding suggests that Padanglampe Village has highly favorable soil conditions for pomelo cultivation, though improved management practices are needed to sustain optimal production. The primary strength of this study lies in integrating chemical and physical soil indicators into a single comprehensive index, providing a more holistic assessment of land suitability for pomelo cultivation. Based on these findings, it is recommended that farmers prioritize areas with high SQI values as primary zones for pomelo development and implement sustainable soil management practices, particularly by increasing soil organic matter content and applying appropriate fertilizer management, to maintain soil quality and ensure the long-term sustainability of pomelo production.
