Abstract
This study aims to develop an ethnopedagogical fitness training model based on traditional Ma^raga sport for university students. The background of this study is the declining level of students^ physical fitness and the limited integration of traditional sports into modern training practices. Ma^raga, as a traditional sport of South Sulawesi, contains movement patterns that support flexibility, balance, coordination, and lower-body strength. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method, including needs analysis, model design, expert validation, limited trials, and revision. Physical fitness was measured using the Indonesian Physical Fitness Test (TKJI). The developed model transforms core Ma^raga movements into structured training activities targeting muscular strength, muscular endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance, and flexibility. The results show that the model is valid, practical, and effective, and provides a significant improvement in students^ physical fitness. In addition, the model enhances cultural awareness by integrating traditional sport into fitness training. In conclusion, this ethnopedagogical-based model offers an innovative and culturally relevant approach to fitness training for university students
