Abstract

Participation in physical activity and sports is beneficial for psychosocial health among children and adolescents with a disability. People with disabilities are far less likely to engage in physically active lifestyles than are people without disabilities. This study was conducted to investigate the importance of physical activity participation for persons with disabilities. A total of 100 (men = 59, women = 41) persons with disabilities aged between 10 to 40 years old participated in the study. The instrument used was The Benefits of Exercise towards Persons with Disabilities and Social Support to Exercise for Persons with Disabilities developed by Rauzon designed to investigate the importance of physical activity for disabled persons. The research instrument used for this study was a questionnaire on demographics, the benefits of exercise and social support for exercise. Overall, both men and women agreed with five main statements regarding the benefits of exercise: that they can improve blood pressure and cholesterol levels, help to avoid disease, give more energy, help to relieve tension and to have a more positive outlook on life. There is no significant relationship between family support and physical activity participation. However, for social support, there is a significant relationship between friend support and physical activity participation. The most selected statements for social support for both men and women such as offer to exercise with them, complain about the time they spend for exercise, fun exercise, rewards and help to plan activities around their exercise. Physical activity participation for persons with abilities appears to have many benefits, and this knowledge should be shared not only among the disabled but also the non-disabled as it will help them to become better caregivers who will encourage and support the disabled in physical activities. For a deeper insight, further research with more variables is recommended.

Abstract

Background Problems: Over the past decade, research on technology in Pencak Silat has grown rapidly. However, the literature review on this topic was very limited. Research Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to conduct an in-depth systematic literature review on the role of technology in the development of Pencak Silat. Methods: Two databases (Scopus and Web of Science) were used to select articles containing information on this topic. The search was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. After the exclusion criteria, only 14 articles were categorised. Findings and Results: Results from the analysed literature showed the positive impact of various technologies on the learning of Pencak Silat and improvements in training and sporting events. The application of technologies such as interactive multimedia, Android applications, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) has been shown to improve students' understanding and achievement in understanding the basic and complex movements of Pencak Silat. Likewise, in the world of sports, technologies such as RFID, fuzzy logic, the Internet of Things (IoT), 3D motion capture, sensors, and VR have changed the way training and scoring in Pencak Silat matches were conducted. Conclusion: Technology has played a key role in improving Pencak Silat education and the sport of Pencak Silat. It has brought significant changes in the way movements are understood, training is conducted, and judgement is made. With wise use, technology continues to open up opportunities to better understand Pencak Silat and improve the quality of learning and competition.

Abstract

Teachers' beliefs and attitudes about teaching students with disabilities in a physical education setting are the most important factors in inclusive education, as teachers' attitudes directly influence success in learning. This study aimed to assess physical education teachers' beliefs and attitudes regarding teaching students with disabilities in inclusive primary schools. A qualitative approach was used with a sample of 12 physical education teachers from 24 inclusive education-provider schools in Pekanbaru. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and observation checklists and analysed using content analysis. Findings showed significant variation in teachers' beliefs regarding the potential of students with disabilities in physical education. While some teachers showed a strong belief in the abilities of these students, others remained sceptical. In addition, some teachers were more confident in teaching students with mild disabilities compared to students with more severe disabilities. These findings underline the importance of improving teachers' understanding of the potential of students with disabilities in the context of physical education. This research contributes to a better understanding of physical education teachers' perspectives on inclusive education, which serves as a basis for improving training and support strategies for teachers who face challenges in teaching students with diverse disabilities.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between back muscle strength and trunk and neck extension ability in Physical Sport students. Back muscle strength was measured using a Back Dynamometer (Back-D), while trunk and neck extension ability was measured using an Extension Dynamometer (Extension-D). This study used a cross-sectional correlational design with a sample of 38 students who met the inclusion criteria. The measurement procedure was carried out twice for each instrument, and the highest value was used for analysis. The Shapiro–Wilk normality test showed that all data were normally distributed (p > 0.05). The linearity test produced an R² value of 0.0007, indicating no linear relationship between the two variables. The Spearman correlation test was then used and showed no significant relationship between back muscle strength and trunk and neck extension ability (ρ = –0.030; p = 0.860). The results of this study confirm that these two physical capacities are independent domains and do not directly influence each other. Thus, the Back-D and Extension-D cannot be used interchangeably in evaluating trunk function, and each instrument must be applied according to the measurement objectives.

Abstract

Effective management is required to aid students in positively developing their character and skills during the physical education learning process. The goal of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of management in physical education publications that have been published in Scopus. The study focuses on the productivity of publishing management in physical education papers on Scopus, on the most prestigious journals, authors, and articles, and on an analysis of keywords that frequently appear in management in physical education articles published on Scopus. The search yields 598 documents that were published in the Scopus database between 2017 and 2021. The majority of publications are written by Webster, C.A., who has six published articles. The most active scientific journal is the Journal of Physical Education and Sport, which has 26 published articles. With 41 links, the United States has the most total link strength of any nation. With 122 instances, "physical education" is the term that is used most frequently. The newest keywords include "big data," "COVID-19," "diet," "sports management," and "knowledge." The most read article on the subject of management in physical education was "Domain-Specific Physical Activity and Mental Health: A Meta-analysis." The research's limitation is that the author is only able to use data from the Scopus database and is only able to use sources that are journal articles; however, the Scopus database also contains other types of sources, including proceedings, book chapters, editorials, notes, erratums, books, and book series. This study contributes to the development of new concepts in the study of physical education management, and it is necessary to conduct future research related to this research theme, which is one of the areas that can be studied more deeply in order to produce learning products according to the needs and developments of the times.
