The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, theKolmogorov–Smirnov normality test, and the Pearson Product Moment correlationtest, processed with IBM SPSS Statistics version 27. The results show that bothphysical literacy and student participation fall into the Very Good category. ThePearson correlation test revealed a strong and statistically significant positive relationship between physical literacy and student participation (r = 0.790; p = 0.000;p < 0.05).
