Abstract

During the Covid-19 conditions, teaching and learning activities throughout Indonesia were carried out online, resulting in minimal physical movement activities that students usually carry out. This study aims to determine and obtain profile data on the level of gross motor skills and nutritional status of lower class public elementary school students in Kedungkandang District, Malang City. This research data was collected and designed using a survey and analyzed using percentages, by screening the school. Data analysis uses cross sectional descriptive analysis with quota sampling. The instruments used in this research were the Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2) and Body Mass Index. The total sample consisted of 120 children, who were then divided into two groups of children consisting of 60 boys and 60 girls. The final results of data analysis in the male group with a total of 60 students showed that the largest percentage of gross motor skills were classified as average with a percentage of 85% and the largest percentage of nutritional status was classified as normal with a percentage of 56.7%. In the female group with a total of 60 female students, the largest percentage of gross motor skills was classified as average with a percentage of 85% and the largest percentage of nutritional status was classified as normal with a percentage of 76.7%. With the data from the results of this analysis, it can be used as evaluation material for teaching staff to design optimal learning by providing learning experiences as an effort to improve children^s motor skills and nutritional awareness. The role of parents is also important, because their role is in providing food intake and monitoring children^s activities while at home
