This study examines the effect of physical fitness exercise on learning concentration among fifth-grade students at Inpres Elementary School Pa’baeng-baeng, Makassar. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was applied to 30 students divided into experimental and control groups. The intervention consisted of moderate-intensity interval training conducted for 30 minutes, three times per week for eight weeks. Concentration was measured using the Trail Making Test (TMT) and Concentration Grid Exercise (CGE), controlling for sleep, nutrition, and gadget use. Results showed significant improvements in the experimental group, with reduced TMT completion time and increased CGE scores (p<0.001). MANCOVA confirmed exercise as a major contributor to concentration improvement. The findings support integrating structured physical activity into daily school routines.
