Abstract

This study is motivated by a lack of attention to upper body strength training in football training programs, even though this strength plays an important role in improving  the ability to throw inside. Football training programs generally emphasize more on foot technique so that the development of the strength of the shoulder, arm, and upper body muscles has not been carried out optimally. This study aims to determine the effect of upper body plyometric exercise (UBPT) on the improvement of throwing ability inward in football players. The research method used is a quantitative approach with  a pre-experimental design using a pretest-posttest design of one group. The study participants amounted to 24 PS Ranc FC Football School players in the age group of 14 years who were selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out through throw-in tests at the pretest and posttest stages after the implementation of 12 UBBT training sessions. Data analysis used normality test, homogeneity test, and paired sample t-test. The results showed a significant increase in the ability to throw with a significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05). Thus, UBPT exercises are effective in increasing the strength and explosiveness of the upper body muscles so that they can improve  the ability to throw into  football players.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the level of interest of students with special needs in participating in physical education learning at special needs school, identify the factors that affect these interests, and describe the form of student participation during the learning process. This study applies a qualitative approach through case research methods. The number of participants in this study was 10 students with disabilities between the ages of 11 and 16, selected by purposive means. The data collection method included observation, an image-based questionnaire with an easy scale, and semi-structured interviews with Physical education, sports and health teachers. Data were analyzed descriptively for observation and questionnaires, as well as thematic analysis for interviews. The results of the study show that the interest of disabled students in participating in physical education learning in general is included in the medium to high category. The observation results showed that 50% of students had high interest, 30% moderate, and 20% low. The results of the questionnaire showed that the indicators of interest and attention tended to be high, while student activities were diverse. The main factors that affect students' interests include adaptive learning strategies, the use of learning media, the emotional bond between teachers and students, and a pleasant learning atmosphere. The interest of students with special needs in physical education learning is relatively good and is influenced by various internal and external factors.  Overall, the study concludes that the interest of students with special needs in physical education is relatively good and is shaped by a combination of internal and external factors, especially effective teaching approaches and supportive learning conditions.

Abstract

Mental factors play an important role in determining athlete performance; however, the mental development of squash athletes at the KONI Bandung City is still not fully structured, resulting in problems such as low self-confidence and competitive anxiety. This study aims to understand the mental coaching pattern of squash coaches of KONI Bandung City, the strategies used, and its impact on athletes' confidence with a qualitative approach of case study design through interviews, observations, and documentation on two coaches and eleven athletes. The results showed that mental coaching was carried out in an integrated manner with physical and technical aspects through humanist and adaptive approaches, such as match simulation, emotion regulation, personal communication, and self-talk. The observational findings showed optimal achievement in physical readiness and resilience (100%), while cognitive and motivational aspects were in the range of 54%–72%, which showed a variation in athletes' mental stability. In conclusion, structured and sustainable mental coaching is effective in increasing athletes' confidence and mental resilience, but it is still necessary to strengthen the cognitive aspects and mental independence so that athletes' performance is more stable and optimal.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low level of responsibility in children who participate in chess club activities, which is shown through undisciplined behavior such as arriving late, not completing practice, and not caring about equipment. This condition impacts the development of skills and decreases the motivation and quality of children's learning. This study aims to analyze how chess training can be a medium for instilling the value of responsibility in school-age children. The methodology used is a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design. The research subjects consisted of children participating in a chess club, coaches, and club administrators selected through purposive sampling. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation as supporting data for the research. Data analysis used an interactive model that includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, with data validity maintained through triangulation and member checking. The results show that chess training can instill the value of responsibility through disciplinary habituation strategies, such as time discipline, responsibility for the environment and equipment, and consistent religious values. The role of the coach is key through consistent application of rules, providing motivation, and the use of rewards and consequences. In conclusion, structured and systematic chess training can be an effective medium for developing children's responsible character through sustainable positive behavioral habits. .

Abstract

Athletics learning in short distance running for elementary school students still fac-es various obstacles, especially low student participation due to the use of monot-onous and less varied learning methods, resulting in suboptimal sprint learning out-comes. Game-based learning approaches are considered capable of increasing stu-dent engagement while also developing motor skills, including running speed. How-ever, research specifically comparing the effectiveness of circuit training and tradi-tional boy-boyan games on improving sprint speed in elementary school students is still limited. This study aims to analyze the comparative effectiveness of circuit training games and traditional boy-boyan games on increasing the speed of short distance running of elementary school students. The approach used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design (pretest-posttest control group design). The re-search subjects amounted to 45 students in grade V who were divided into three groups, namely the circuit training group, the boyan traditional game group, and the control group. The research instrument used a 40-meter sprint running test which was carried out at the pretest and posttest stages. Data analysis was carried out using parametric statistical tests through normality and homogeneity tests as prerequisite tests, followed by the One Way ANOVA test to determine differences between groups, and the Tukey HSD post hoc follow-up test to determine specific differences. The results showed that there was a difference in increased running speed between the treatment groups. The boy-boyan traditional game group showed a significant improvement compared to the conventional learning group (p = 0.032), while the circuit training group showed no significant difference. Descrip-tively, all groups experienced an increase in running speed after being given the treatment, but the most optimal improvement occurred in the traditional boy-boyan play group. The conclusion of this study shows that the traditional boy-boyan game is more effective in increasing the speed of short distance running of elementary school students than circuit training and conventional learning.
