Abstract
Low physical activity is associated with increasingly rapid technological advances. The development of sophisticated technology is one of the causes of the shift from dynamic activities to static which is estimated to be the cause of the decline in a person^s physical fitness level. Advances in technology in the field of transportation, for example, have reduced walking activities, resulting in dependence on motorized vehicles. A study of obesity with a cross-cultural approach, showed that the development of video games led to reduced physical activity in children and adolescents. Such a lifestyle increases with a decrease in physical activity. Various problems will arise when a person^s physical activity is reduced. In addition to weight gain due to reduced daily physical activity, there is also a decrease in the skills of sports specialists who have been trained for a long time. In addition, the consequences are also a decrease in one^s physical fitness. In this study, the participants were teenagers, totaling 140 with an average age of 17 years. The research method used is research and development. Before the developed model was tested, the researchers conducted an expert review of the coaching experts with the results that the outdoor activity exercise model developed was feasible, but it was necessary to consider the number of sets of repetitions for each variation of the exercise. The results of the small group trial followed by 12 participants stated that the model could be implemented. The results of the large group trial followed by 66 participants stated that the model can be implemented but needs to be divided into 3 activities (light, moderate, and heavy). While the results of the effectiveness test state that the outdoor activity exercise model is more effective in maintaining the physical fitness of adolescents outside of the activities carried out during physical education learning. However, the limitations of this study need to be analyzed further fo
