Through increased human resource capacity, enhanced digital literacy, and adequate budget support, this application has the potential to become a model for technology-based public service innovation that can strengthen government-community relations and support transparent, accountable, and responsive governance

The rapid growth of the digital era significantly reduces children's physical activity, thus having an impact on decreasing gross and fine motor development in elementary school-age children. The habit of excessive use of gadgets causes children to tend to be passive and less involved in structured movement activities. Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS), as the basis of motor competence which includes locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative skills, shows increasingly less than optimal development in early childhood and school age. This study examines the contribution of FMS to children's motor development and evaluates the effectiveness of FMS-based learning media, especially modified snake and ladder games, in improving students' basic movement skills. The study used a descriptive-correlational quantitative design involving 40 students aged 6–9 years who were selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out using the Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2) instrument, structured observation rubrics, and supporting documentation. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation tests to see the relationships between variables. The findings of this research are expected to be the basis for the development of more innovative, adaptive, and fun physical education programs to support children's motor development in the midst of the challenges of the digital era.

Swimming performance is strongly influenced by aerobic endurance, which enables athletes to maintain speed, technique efficiency, and physiological stability during prolonged activity. However, quantitative data regarding aerobic endurance levels among club-level swimmers in Indonesia remain limited. This study aimed to describe the aerobic endurance level of athletes from the Science Swimming Team. A descriptive research design was employed involving 11 swimmers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Cooper Swimming Test conducted over a 15-minute freestyle swimming session, and aerobic capacity was estimated through VO₂max values. The collected data were analyzed descriptively to classify aerobic endurance levels based on established normative categories by sex and age. The findings indicated that most athletes achieved good to very good performance in swimming distance; however, VO₂max classifications showed that aerobic capacity was predominantly in the moderate category, with only one female athlete reaching an excellent level. This disparity suggests that favorable distance performance does not necessarily reflect optimal aerobic capacity. The results imply the need for more targeted training programs focusing on improving VO₂max through structured aerobic and interval-based training. These findings provide practical input for coaches in designing data-driven and individualized training strategies to enhance aerobic endurance and competitive performance in swimming athletes.
