Introduction The ups and downs of national sports, which have permeated the life of the Indonesian people since before independence, have indeed been greatly influenced by government policy and political factors.
However, the shortcomings and strengths of the government policies that were launched were a real response by the nation's founding fathers and Journal homepage: http://w.

the government to address the challenges of the times.
Therefore, sports are essential for every individual to develop their inherent potential.
Sports activities are now included as one of the mandatory subjects in schools.
Through these school sports activities, each student can develop their potential, particularly in sports.
Sports in Indonesia have begun to show achievements both domestically and internationally country.
For this reason, there must be a regeneration of the nation's successors who can bring honor to the name of the Indonesian nation in the field of sports.
Learning is an activity that a person does intentionally in a conscious state to acquire a new concept, understanding, or knowledge so that a person can undergo a relatively permanent change in behavior, both in thinking, feeling, and acting.
The purpose of learning (Aprianti & Sugito, 2.
is to create a change towards a better state, for example, a change in a person's understanding of something positive.
The purpose of learning cannot be achieved easily without serious effort from everyone involved in the process, both the learner and the Learning outcomes are the changes that occur in students, both in terms of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects as a result of learning activities.
Learning outcomes can also be interpreted as the level of success of students in learning subject matter at school, as indicated by the scores obtained from tests on a number of specific subject matters.
Learning outcomes can be seen in tangible changes that occur when a person undergoes a learning process and take place within that person themselves (Karo et al.
, 2.
The above factors give rise to the assumption that interest can influence learning outcomes.
Interest is essential for a person to engage in a learning process.
A person's high level of interest in a particular activity will facilitate learning if what they are interested in is related to a specific subject matter.
A person has certain limitations and expectations when they do something (Rindra Wijaya et al.
, 2.
If a person does not have a particular interest in the learning process they are undertaking, they will not achieve satisfactory results.
One of the subjects taught at school is physical education, which is closely related to sports.
Sports are practiced so that a person can achieve balance within their body.
a healthy body has a good level of physical and mental health.
Currently, many students do not take the learning process at school seriously, as evidenced during physical education classes.
Before the lesson begins, the physical education teacher asks the students to warm up on their own.
After the warm-up is complete, the teacher explains the material and demonstrates the sports movements that will be performed.
When the teacher asks the students to practice the movements individually, some students who have not yet had their turn to come forward just joke around and play on their own.
Not all students have an interest in sports activities, even though if students have an interest in sports, they will be able to achieve the expected learning outcomes (Amaruddin et al.
Students' awareness to learn and follow the learning process is perceived to be Many students do not pay attention and understand what the teacher is saying because they have no interest in the subject.
Students' enthusiasm will decrease or even disappear if they participate in a learning process that they find uninteresting (Effendi, 2.
, (Tarigan & Winata, 2.

Result and Discussion After the researchers conducted the study and obtained normal data, the data could not be understood before data analysis was carried out.
After collecting data from the student sports interest questionnaire, the questionnaire scores were then categorized according to the categories that had been created, namely high, medium, and low.

Results of Sports Interest Questionnaire Score Categories Survey Frequency Category Percentage Score Low Currently Height Table 2.
Categories of Learning Outcomes for Physical Education Subjects Survey Frequency Category Percentage Score Low Currently Height After the data was collected and normalized, whether it was data on students' interest in sports or their learning outcomes in physical education for fifth graders, it was then tabulated.
This was done to determine whether there was an influence of interest in sports on the learning outcomes of fifth graders in physical education at Kampung Bakti Public Elementary School in the 2025 academic year.
The researcher used a simple regression For more details, see the following table:

Discussion The goal of physical education is to provide children with opportunities to develop their personal abilities, such as physical, mental, social, emotional, and moral aspects (Hendrawan, 2.
In the world of education, these aspects cover three domains, namely psychomotor, cognitive, and affective aspects of children (Achmad Jayul, 2.
In addition, one of the objectives of physical education is to motivate students so that they are able to move and perform physical activities.
The tendency within an individual to be attracted to or enjoy a certain object.
Because of their desires and interests, a person will do things or activities to the best of their ability because they feel that they have a need for them.
Interest is defined as a person's psychological tendency towards something .
sually accompanied by feelings of pleasur.
, because they feel a connection to that thing and are aware that an object, a person (Supiati.
Awaluddin, 2.
, an issue, or a situation is related to them.
Based on this statement, it can be concluded that interest is a tendency of a person's soul that is accompanied by feelings of pleasure that are related to themselves.
By knowing their goals, individuals will be able to direct their interests in the best possible In addition to specific goals, an interest in sports can arise due to the expansion of an individual's environment and increased interaction with people outside their circle to broaden their knowledge of that interest.
In developing interests, personal relationships are far more important than specific training processes.
For example, if someone dislikes their coach, they tend not to give their best effort in sports and may even dislike that person.
Thus, it is clear that AulikingAy or AudislikingAy plays an important role in the development of interests.
Although each person develops specific sports interests that are individual in nature, everyone in a particular environment will develop interests that are common among people from that environment.
Conclusion From the results of data analysis, a significant effect was found between interest in sports and student learning outcomes in physical education.
