Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of South Sulawesi's local culture-based aerobic dances on enhancing cardiovascular endurance and flexibility. The research method used was a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest group approach. The research subjects consisted of 20 healthy young women aged 18–25 years. The intervention program was conducted over eight weeks, with participants attending three sessions per week, each lasting 45 minutes. The aerobic dance program incorporated traditional South Sulawesi dance movements and music. Cardiovascular endurance was measured using the Beep Test, while flexibility was assessed through the Sit and Reach test. The results showed a significant increase in both variables with p < 0.05. These findings indicate that local culture-based aerobic dances are effective in enhancing physical fitness while providing a more meaningful and enjoyable exercise experience through cultural engagement. This research provides a scientific foundation for developing physical training programs based on local wisdom that can be implemented in community-based physical activities.

Abstract

High-intensity physical activity such as futsal predominantly relies on the anaerobic energy system and has the potential to trigger the formation of ketone bodies as an alternative energy source. While studies on ketones often focus on fasting, ketogenic diets, or metabolic diseases, research on ketone formation due to intense physical activity remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the formation of urinary ketones in futsal players following a simulated match and to assess the distribution of ketone levels produced. This descriptive observational study involved 22 male futsal players aged 18–25 years. Subjects underwent a simulated futsal match (2 × 20 minutes with a 10-minute halftime break). Urine samples were collected approximately 10 minutes post-match and analyzed using Ketostix to detect urinary ketone levels, classified as negative, mild, moderate, or high. All players tested positive for urinary ketones. A total of 90.9% exhibited mild ketonuria (0.5 mmol/L), 9.1% showed moderate ketonuria (1.0 mmol/L), and no cases of severe ketonuria were observed. These findings indicate that high-intensity futsal activity is sufficient to induce metabolic changes leading to ketogenesis. High-intensity futsal activity can stimulate endogenous ketone production as a response to glycogen depletion. Monitoring ketone levels may serve as an important indicator in designing training, recovery, and nutritional strategies in high-intensity sports. Further studies are recommended to explore the relationship between ketone levels, athletic performance, and metabolic risk in athletes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the relationship between anxiety level and smash accuracy in badminton athletes. Anxiety is one of the psychological factors that can affect athlete performance, especially in sports that require concentration and accuracy such as badminton. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design. Data were collected through anxiety questionnaire and smash accuracy measurement through validated skill test. The results of the analysis show that there is a significant relationship between anxiety levels and athletes' smash accuracy. The higher the level of anxiety experienced by athletes, the lower the smash accuracy displayed, and vice versa. This finding indicates the importance of managing psychological aspects in athlete training to improve technical performance on the field.
