Abstract

This community service activity aimed to improve students’ soft skills through character-based leadership training. The main problems faced by students include low communication skills, teamwork, public speaking abilities, and leadership competencies needed to face workplace challenges. The implementation method used a participatory approach through interactive lectures, group discussions, leadership simulations, public speaking training, and character value reflection. The activity was conducted over two days involving 35 students from various study programs. Evaluation was carried out using pretests, posttests, observations, and participant satisfaction questionnaires. The results showed significant improvement in leadership, effective communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and public speaking skills. The average participant score increased from 64.8 in the pretest to 84.4 in the posttest. In addition, participants demonstrated increased self-confidence, collaboration skills, and active participation during the training process. Participant satisfaction with the activity was categorized as very good. Therefore, character-based leadership training is effective in improving students’ soft skills and can be used as a strategy for character development in higher education.

Abstract

An effective crescent kick for attacking and breaking an opponent's attack must be supported by physical power training. Satria Muda pencak silat athletes are quite adequate in performing kicking techniques, but they lack physical power, resulting in inaccurate and slow kicks during training. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of leg muscle power training on the speed of crescent kicks in athletes from the Satria Muda Pencak Silat Club. This research used a quantitative method with an experimental design in the form of a single-group pretest and posttest. The population and sample of this study were 10 Satria Muda Pencak Silat Club athletes in Banda Aceh. Data collection for this study was conducted through the following stages: 1) pretest of crescent kick speed, 2) treatment of leg muscle power training, 3) posttest of crescent kick speed. The results of the t-test showed a sig value (2-tailed) = 0.000, which is less than α 0.05, or 0.000 ≤ 0.05. The conclusion of this study is that leg muscle power training has an effect on the speed of the sabit kick in athletes of the Satria Muda Pencak Silat Club
