Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is transforming human activities, including learning at school. The study aims to analyze the direct effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the active lifestyle of elementary school students across West Java. In addition, the specific aim of this study is to obtain empirical evidence on active life behavior. The research method in this study is a quantitative descriptive method. The population consists of elementary school students from across West Java and a random sample of 1,867 students from each district. The sampling technique uses a simple random sampling technique. The results shows that the active lifestyle behavior of students during the Covid-19 pandemic is at most distributed in the low category of up to 1,088 people (58%) and before the Covid-19 pandemic the largest distribution is in the moderate category up to 1147 people (61%). These data show that the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the decline in student active living from the moderate category to the low category.

Abstract

Lactic acid is a by-product of anaerobic metabolism and is commonly associated with muscle fatigue. However, recent research suggests that lactic acid may also positively affect cognitive function. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between lactic acid and cognitive function in female volleyball athletes. The study involved 12 female volleyball players from the Student Education and Training Centre (PPLP) of Riau Province, and a total sampling method was utilised. Data collection involved cognitive function tests using the Concentration Grid Test (CGT) instrument and lactic acid measurements using Accutrend lactate. The results revealed a significant correlation between lactic acid and cognitive function, with athletes with higher lactic acid levels after the training session performing better on cognitive tests. This suggests that lactic acid may enhance cognitive function by increasing glucose availability, which serves as the brain’s primary energy source. However, it is essential to consider the potential negative effects of excessive lactic acid levels, such as muscle fatigue, breakdown, and lactic acidosis, on both of the body and brain. Despite demonstrating the role of lactic acid in cognitive function among female volleyball athletes, caution must be exercised to prevent undue lactic acid production. Overall, this study provides valuable insight into the intricate relationship between lactic acid and cognitive function, which has implications for optimising cognitive ability in female volleyball athletes and potentially in other professional sports. Future research is needed to establish optimal lactic acid levels for cognitive function in diverse athletic contexts.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine and examine the effect of the Team Games Tournament (TGT) learning model on increasing creativity, cooperation, soccer skills in deaf students. The method used was an experimental method with a research design was a pretest and posttest design. The population in this study were students of SLB Negeri Cicendo and the sample was 20 grade students. The sampling technique is total sampling. The research instrument is creativity developed from Juliantine's research (2010) and the instrument for playing football skills using GPAI (Game Performance Assessment Instrument Components). The results showed that: (1) there was an effect of the Team Games Tournament (TGT) type of cooperative learning model on creativity in deaf students, (2) there was an influence of the Team Games Tournament (TGT) type of cooperative learning model on cooperation among deaf students, (3) There is the influence of the Team Games Tournament (TGT) type of cooperative learning model on the skills of playing football in deaf students, (4) there are differences in the Team Games Tournament (TGT) type of cooperative learning model and the conventional learning model on creativity, cooperation, and football playing skills of deaf students . Referring to the results of the analysis and research conclusions, the authors provide several recommendations for other researchers who are interested in answering new findings, namely regarding the absence of influence on the variables of creativity, cooperation, football skills through the Team Games Tournament learning model. This may be a weakness in the researcher regarding the research method, data collection techniques, and the sample involved.

Abstract

The process of learning physical education in schools is influenced by nutrition, physical activity, and students' cognitive functions. The purpose of this study was to find out how students' nutritional status, physical activity, and cognitive function relate to their performance in physical education classes at school. This type of research is called correlational research. 98,289 junior high school students in Bandung, West Java Province, became the study population. Simple random sampling strategy for sampling 1870 students into the research sample. This study uses primary data provided from students' assessments of nutritional condition, physical activity, and cognitive function and secondary data provided from physical education teachers. The data collection method was in the form of a questionnaire to measure cognitive function, physical activity, and nutritional status, as well as student test scores from teachers to measure learning outcomes. Correlation analysis and multiple regression, as well as the F test, were used as data analysis methods in this study. Data analysis through computerized procedures using the SPSS application The tests needed are the normality test and the linearity test before testing the hypothesis. The findings demonstrate a significant correlation between learning outcomes and nutritional status, physical activity, and cognitive function. However, it is important to note that the research scope was limited to the field of physical education and the selected research subjects. Nonetheless, these results contribute to existing knowledge and can serve as a guide for future studies, particularly in the domain of physical education, aiming to optimise learning outcomes.
