Abstract


Developing Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) is critical for a child physical, cognitive, and social growth. While previous studies have explored FMS in general, the influence of territorial environments remains underexamined. This study used a territorial-based approach to compare the elementary school student multilateral movement skills in highland and lowland areas of Banyumas Regency, Indonesia. The research employed an ex-post facto descriptive method with one group post-test design. The participants were 40 students aged 6–8 from grade 1 to 3, divided equally between highland (n = 20) and lowland (n = 20) schools. FMS was assessed by using standardized instruments covering stability, locomotor, and manipulative skills. The descriptive results indicated that both groups performed in the good category, with mean scores of 3.90 ± 0.85 for highland students and 3.60 ± 1.12 for lowland students. A paired samples t-test showed no significant difference between the two groups (p = .682). These findings suggest that an equal access to structured physical education and similar opportunities for physical activity may minimize territorial disparities. The study underscores the importance of sustaining diverse and engaging physical education programs to strengthen a child motor foundation, promote lifelong physical activity, and support holistic development in school settings.
