Abstract

Understanding the significance of efficient post-exercise recovery methods in alleviating muscle damage and addressing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) among athletes following plyometric circuit training. The study aimed to determine the effect of dynamic stretching in water (active pool-based) and sports massage (SM) on muscle damage indices post-plyometric circuit training. A total of 30 participants were divided into three control groups and one experimental group, who were given two recovery protocols (APB + BCAA and sports massage) after the trial. Data were statistically analysed using a one-way ANOVA test with post-test measurements and a Bonferroni test (P < 0.05). It is concluded that statistically the APB + BCAA post-hoc test with SM did not show any significance. However, on average, APB + BCAA was preferable at reducing DOMS symptoms; measurements 3 and 4 in the intervention groups also showed a significant effect on the control group. The study findings underscore the valuable contribution of active recovery in water and the use of supplements in improving initial recovery outcomes after strenuous exercise or sports, aligning with the exercise recovery principle that highlights the inseparable relationship between nutrition and soft tissue modalities.

Abstract

Background Problems: Kurash is a traditional martial art and sport that plays an important role in promoting physical culture and a healthy lifestyle among young people. However, the specific physical and psychological factors that influence performance in Kurash, a martial arts sport, remain unclear. Research Objectives: This study aims to identify the dominant physical and psychological elements affecting Kurash sport performance. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive correlational approach was employed, involving 12 coaches and 40 Kurash athletes from South Kalimantan. Physical indicators were measured using anthropometric data (e.g., height, arm length) and biomotor skills (e.g., muscle strength, flexibility, speed). Aerobic tests assessed physiological capacity, and validated questionnaires evaluated psychological factors such as anxiety, concentration, self-confidence, and motivation. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares (PLS). Findings and Results: The study's results revealed two main findings. First, the dominant physical factors in kurash sport include arm muscle strength, back and leg muscle strength, flexibility, balance, arm muscle explosiveness, speed, and aerobic capacity. Meanwhile, the main psychological factors are anxiety and self-confidence. Secondly, physiological, biomotor, and psychological aspects were shown to contribute 68.7% to kurash sport performance, while anthropometric data was deemed insufficient to determine the main factors affecting performance. Biomotor, physiological, and psychological variables had a significant influence on kurash sport. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that biomotor, physiological, and psychological factors substantially affect the performance of Kurash athletes. However, certain constraints, such as the restricted sample size and lack of longitudinal assessment, affected the results. Future research should use larger samples and more comprehensive approaches to investigate the development of physical and psychological elements in Kurash.
