Hasil penelitian ini adalah terdapat peningkatan motorik kasar anak sebelum pemberian kegiatan senam irama adalah 2,20 dan sesudah senam irama adalah 3,73. Dimana terjadi peningkatan pada motorik kasar anak antara sebelum dan sesudah diberikan kegiatan senam irama dengan hasil nilai p= 0,005 (0,05).
