ABSTRACT
Sleep quality is one of the psychological factors that plays an important role in physical recovery, motor coordination, and sports performance. Sports Education students are required to have good physical fitness and swimming skills, but academic and non-academic activities are one of the causes of sleep quality disorders. This study aims to determine whether or not there is an effect of sleep quality on physical fitness and breaststroke swimming ability. This research model is a comparative quasi-experiment involving 87 active students who have taken swimming courses and are able to do breaststroke swimming for 50 meters without stopping, the sample is divided into 2 groups based on the good sleep quality group and the poor sleep quality group. Sleep quality is measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), while physical fitness is measured by the Indonesian Physical Fitness Test (TKJI), and breaststroke swimming ability is assessed through a 50-meter swimming time test. Data analysis used the Independent Sample T-Test at a significance level of 0.05. The results of this study indicate that there is an effect of sleep quality on physical fitness and breaststroke swimming ability with statistical results of p-value <0.001. These findings emphasize the importance of sleep management as an integral component in a physical training program. For sports educators and coaches, optimal sleep pattern management can improve students' physical readiness and skill performance. Therefore, managing sleep patterns is an important aspect that needs to be considered in the development program for sports education students.
