Abstract

The main purpose of this determination was to show the level of knowledge and understanding of physical education teachers in applying the principles of biomechanics in physical education learning in junior high schools. This study used a survey method with 33 state junior high school physical education teachers in the city of Cimahi, Indonesia, as the respondents. The data collection techniques used were semi-structured interviews. The results showed that 81.8% of physical education teachers did not understand the principles of biomechanics, thus the implementation of physical education learning in schools did not apply the principles of biomechanics. This happened because almost all physical education teachers take for granted the biomechanics as an important aspect in physical education. The conclusion of this article paper is that the principles of biomechanics are very important to be understood by physical education teachers. For physical education learning, cognitive comprehensive is boasted on by students about how to move effectively and efficiently.
