Abstract
Introduction: Science and technology advancements not only provide various benefits to humans, but also make humans inactive. This is exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which limits human physical activity even more. In Indonesia, the proportion of the inactive population aged over ten years has increased over the last five years (2013-2018). A preliminary survey of Integrated Islamic Junior High School students in Bekasi revealed a large number of inactive students. As a result, researchers were curious about the Effect of utilizing Active Life Leaflets on Changes in Physical Activity. Methods: The research with a pre-experimental design was carried out in April–December 2018 at Integrated Islamic Junior High School Students Bekasi. A sample of 37 students was selected using a simple random sampling method. The intervention was in the form of active life education, using active live leaflets as media every week for 6 weeks. Data was collected by interview using a physical activity questionnaire. Data analysis consisted of univariate and bivariate analysis with a paired T-test. Results: The average physical activity before and after the intervention was 19.9 minutes/day and 60.8 minutes/day. There was a change in physical activity of 40.9 minutes/day with a p-value of 0.000000002. Conclusion: Utilization of leaflets as a medium of active life education significantly increased physical activity. This method can be applied to other schools by involving sports teachers.
