Abstract

Abstract This study aims to examine the effectiveness of breaststroke swimming technique training using slow-motion video in improving the basic techniques of students in the Physical Education Program at Pamulang University. The research method employed was a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. The sample consisted of 40 students, divided into two groups: the experimental group received treatment using slow-motion video, while the control group underwent training using conventional demonstration methods. Assessment was conducted on five aspects of breaststroke technique: body position, arm movement, leg movement, breathing coordination, and movement rhythm.The results showed a significant improvement in technique scores in both groups, with the experimental group achieving a statistically higher improvement (p < 0.05). The average posttest score for the experimental group reached 20.15, while the control group only reached 16.85. The most notable improvements occurred in movement coordination and rhythm. The use of slow-motion video provided detailed visual feedback, allowing students to observe and correct movement errors independently. It can be concluded that slow-motion video is an effective learning medium for enhancing mastery of basic breaststroke techniques. These findings support the application of visual technology as an innovative strategy in motor skill learning, particularly in higher education physical education settings.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the body language of table tennis athletes from a semiotic perspective and its implications for physical education and sports. Body language was understood as a form of nonverbal communication conveying messages, emotions, and intentions without words. The study employed a qualitative descriptive-analytic approach through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and visual documentation involving ten athletes, two coaches, and one organization administrator. Data were analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion stages based on the theories of icon, index, and symbol signs. The results indicated five main categories of athlete body language: readiness (85 %), aggressiveness (70 %), emotional control (60 %), social interaction (55 %), and post-match expression (100 %). These body movements functioned not only as biomechanical responses but also as a system of signs reflecting psychological states, game strategies, and values of sportsmanship. The findings confirmed that athletes’ bodies served as a medium of symbolic communication with pedagogical implications in physical education. Practical implications include the importance for coaches and teachers to recognize and utilize nonverbal cues in character development, enhance training effectiveness, and develop more reflective and communicative learning models.
