CIRCUIT TRAINING IMPLEMENTATION IN INDONESIAN ARMY PHYSICAL EDUCATION A QUALITATIVE CASE STUDY
Abstract
Abstrak
Penelitian ini mengkaji pelaksanaan pembinaan kesegaran jasmani dan latihan sirkuit di Dinas Jasmani Angkatan Darat, Cimahi, Jawa Barat. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan desain studi kasus dan melibatkan 44 informan yang dipilih secara purposif, terdiri atas satu pimpinan institusi, lima kepala seksi, 35 prajurit, dan tiga pakar atau atlet olahraga. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara terstruktur, dan analisis dokumen, kemudian dianalisis melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, serta penarikan dan verifikasi kesimpulan. Triangulasi digunakan untuk memeriksa kredibilitas temuan. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa program telah memiliki jadwal dan standar penilaian, tetapi pelaksanaannya menghadapi rutinitas latihan berulang, keterbatasan penyesuaian beban individu, dan gangguan partisipasi akibat tuntutan tugas. Informan mengaitkan latihan sirkuit dengan variasi aktivitas dan keterlibatan kelompok. Temuan tersebut merupakan persepsi informan, bukan bukti peningkatan fisiologis. Kontribusi penelitian terletak pada penjelasan kontekstual mengenai kesenjangan antara pengaturan program dan pelaksanaan latihan yang adaptif. Pengembangan modul, pemantauan beban, dan penguatan kompetensi pelatih direkomendasikan untuk diuji lebih lanjut.

Abstract
Keywords: Qur’an memorization; boarding program; full-day program; tahfidz implementation; learning supervision; school–family partnership.This study examines physical fitness development and circuit training implementation at the Army Physical Training Service in Cimahi, West Java. A descriptive qualitative case study involved 44 purposively selected informants: one institutional leader, five section heads, 35 soldiers, and three sports experts or athletes. Data were collected through observation, structured interviews, and document analysis and analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. Triangulation supported credibility. The findings identify an established system of training schedules and assessment standards alongside repetitive routines, limited workload individualization, and participation disrupted by operational duties. Informants associated circuit training with exercise variety and group engagement; these accounts indicate perceived benefits rather than measured physiological improvement. Instructor competence, equipment availability, and supervision were identified as relevant implementation conditions. The study offers a contextual account of the gap between formal program organization and adaptive delivery in military physical education. Adaptable training modules, workload monitoring, and instructor development are proposed for subsequent evaluation. The single institutional case does not establish effectiveness or prevalence across the Indonesian Army.
