Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) is an integral component of the national education system that aims not only to enhance students’ physical fitness but also to support their psychological, emotional, and social development. In recent educational discourse, PJOK has increasingly been recognized for its potential contribution to learning motivation and academic achievement through structured physical activity and character-based learning experiences. This study aims to analyze the effect of PJOK on students’ learning motivation and academic achievement at SMAN 2 Pasangkayu. This research employed a quantitative approach using a simple linear regression design to examine the relationship between PJOK as the independent variable and learning motivation and academic achievement as dependent variables. The population and sample consisted of 20 students from SMAN 2 Pasangkayu, selected using a quota sampling technique. Data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire to measure learning motivation and students’ report card scores to represent academic achievement. Primary data were obtained directly from the research subjects and analyzed using statistical procedures. The results indicate that PJOK has a positive influence on both learning motivation and academic achievement. This finding is supported by the regression analysis, which yielded a significance value (Sig.) of 0.618, indicating that the alternative hypothesis was accepted according to the established statistical criteria. These results suggest that PJOK contributes not only to physical fitness improvement but also to fostering positive learning attitudes, enjoyment, and readiness to engage in academic activities. Consequently, optimizing PJOK implementation through engaging teaching strategies and adequate school facilities is recommended to maximize its holistic educational impact.
