Abstract

Badminton is a high-intensity sport that requires excellent footwork, agility, and explosive movements. Footwork techniques are essential for positioning the body to execute optimal strokes, and deficiencies in this area can negatively affect performance. Plyometric training improves lower-body power and quickness, while shadow training enhances movement patterns and court positioning. Combining these two methods may significantly improve footwork performance, particularly among under-21 male athletes, yet this approach remains underexplored. This study examined the effect of combined plyometric and shadow training on the footwork ability of badminton athletes. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was used, involving fifteen under-21 male badminton athletes from Universitas Negeri Padang selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria of being active, under-21, and injury-free. Participants completed sixteen training sessions of combined plyometric and shadow exercises. Footwork ability was measured before and after the intervention using the validated six-way footwork test with a shuttlecock, recorded manually with a stopwatch. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26, applying normality and homogeneity tests followed by a paired-sample t-test. The results showed a significant improvement in footwork performance (p < 0.05), with most athletes shifting from “poor” in the pretest to “good” or “excellent” classifications in the posttest. These findings demonstrate that the combined training effectively enhanced agility, coordination, and movement efficiency. In conclusion, the integration of plyometric and shadow training provides an effective and engaging approach for improving badminton athletes’ footwork ability and can be recommended for coaches aiming to optimize player performance.

Abstract

The global increase in overweight and obesity has become a critical public health concern, particularly among menopausal women who experience hormonal changes that contribute to increased body fat-especially in the abdominal region. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has emerged as a time-efficient alternative to conventional exercise, offering potential benefits in reducing Body Mass Index (BMI) and Body Fat Percentage (BFP). This quasi-experimental study, conducted in Padang, Indonesia, aimed to examine the correlation between BMI and BFP in menopausal women aged 50-60 years following a five-month HIIT intervention. A total of 50 obese menopausal women were selected using stratified sampling and assigned to either an experimental group (HIIT) or a control group (aerobic exercise). Pretest and posttest measurements were collected for body weight, BMI, and BFP. Statistical analyses included tests for normality and homogeneity, the Mann-Whitney U test, independent t-test, and Spearman's rank correlation. The findings revealed significant reductions in both BMI and BFP in the HIIT group compared to the control group. A very strong positive correlation was observed between BMI and BFP (r = 0.914, p < 0.001), suggesting that decreases in BMI are closely linked to reductions in body fat. This study provides preliminary evidence from Indonesia supporting HIIT as an effective and time-efficient intervention for addressing obesity-related outcomes in menopausal women. Further research is warranted to investigate the underlying mechanisms and to generalize these findings to broader menopausal populations.

Abstract

Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a promising technological innovation in education and rehabilitation, particularly for supporting motor development and physical activity among children with intellectual disabilities. This study aims to map and synthesize existing empirical evidence on the effectiveness of VR-based interventions in improving motor skills and physical activity in this population. A scoping review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines by systematically searching ScienceDirect, ProQuest, and Google Scholar databases for articles published between 2019 and 2025. From an initial yield of 1,009 studies, eight articles met the predefined inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. The findings indicate that VR-based interventions, especially those integrating virtual and real-world games, consistently improve walking ability, object control, and gross motor skills. Several studies also reported gains in muscle strength and coordination, although evidence regarding balance improvement remains inconsistent. Despite its potential benefits, challenges related to accessibility, intervention design, and individual adaptability persist. Overall, VR represents a valuable and engaging tool for enhancing motor skills and physical activity in children with intellectual disabilities. Future research should emphasize targeted program development, long-term outcome evaluation, and interdisciplinary collaboration to optimize VR-based rehabilitation and educational interventions.

Abstract

This experimental study examines the effectiveness of two plyometric training methods, squat jumps and knee tuck jumps, in enhancing vertical jump performance among U-12 female volleyball athletes. Vertical jump ability plays a critical role in executing offensive techniques such as spiking and defensive maneuvers like blocking. Fourteen athletes from the Dissporsa Kendal volleyball club participated in the study and were assigned to two experimental groups through ordinal pairing. Group A underwent squat jump training, while Group B received knee tuck jump training, each over the course of 16 sessions. A pre-test/post-test design was employed to assess changes in vertical jump performance. Descriptive statistics indicated improvements in both groups. Group A's average jump height increased from 27.83 cm to 31.50 cm (a 13.2% improvement), while Group B's average rose from 27.17 cm to 30.58 cm (a 12.7% improvement). The mean increase in jump height was 3.67 cm for Group A and 3.41 cm for Group B. However, an independent samples t-test revealed no statistically significant difference between the post-test results of the two groups (p = 0.8306), suggesting that both training methods were equally effective in improving vertical jump performance. These findings support the inclusion of squat jumps and knee tuck jumps in youth training programs aimed at developing lower-body explosive power. Due to their simplicity and accessibility, these exercises offer practical benefits for coaches and trainers working with young athletes. Future research involving larger sample sizes and extended training durations is recommended to further investigate the long-term effects of plyometric training on athletic performance and injury prevention in youth sports.

Abstract

Volleyball is a sport that requires high levels of speed and endurance, making targeted physical training essential for optimal performance. Sprint training over distances of 50 and 80 meters is one approach that can enhance both attributes. This study investigates the effects of 50-meter and 80-meter sprint training on the speed performance of volleyball players involved in extracurricular activities at MAN 2 Banjarnegara. A quantitative experimental design was employed, utilizing a Two-Group Pretest-Posttest framework. Participants were randomly assigned to two experimental groups: Group A (50-meter sprint training) and Group B (80-meter sprint training). Across 14 training sessions, including pretest and posttest assessments, data were collected using a 60-meter sprint test. Statistical analyses included normality tests (Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk), homogeneity tests, and paired t-tests. Results demonstrated that both sprint training protocols significantly improved sprint performance. Group A exhibited a mean improvement of 0.35 seconds, while Group B showed a greater improvement of 0.77 seconds, with both outcomes achieving statistical significance (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that sprint training over both distances effectively enhances speed performance in volleyball playersThe study concludes that incorporating 50-meter and 80-meter sprint training into volleyball conditioning programs can positively impact players' physical speed. Coaches and trainers are encouraged to integrate these sprint protocols to improve essential skills such as spiking, passing, and blocking. For comprehensive development, sprint training should be complemented with agility drills and aerobic endurance exercises to meet the multifaceted physical demands of the sport.
