Efforts to Improve Learning Concentration and Learning Outcomes Through Extracurricular Activities of Wushu Sanda Sports for Junior High School Students

This study aims to examine the differences in learning concentration levels between
students who participate in wushu sanda extracurricular sports and those who do
not. The research method used is ex post facto with a causal design. The study
was conducted at Sasana Bandung Fighter Academy (BFA) with a population of
middle school students actively participating in BFA activities. The sampling technique
used was total sampling, with 10 students as the research sample. The instrument
for measuring concentration was the Grid Concentration Exercise. The results
showed a significant difference in learning concentration levels between students
who participated in extracurricular sports and those who did not, with a significance
value of 0.000 (<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in students’
academic achievement, with a significance value of 0.137 (>0.05). Overall,
multivariate analysis indicated that students participating in extracurricular sports
had better concentration levels than those who did not. Therefore, extracurricular
sports play an important role in improving students’ learning concentration.
