Based on calculations, the influence coefficient of motivation on teacher performance is 0.194. t-count value of 2.124> t-table of 1.984. The effect of physical fitness on teacher performance is 0.376. t-count value of 4.913> t-table of 1.984. Effect of motivation on physical fitness, amounting to 0.298. t-count value of 3.349> t-table of 1.984. The results of the study concluded that certified teacher performance in dominant physical education subjects was directly influenced positively by motivation and physical fitness. But there are still other exogenous factors that directly or indirectly affect teacher performance.
