Background Problems: Anxious athletes often doubt their ability to manage stress and achieve goals. Developing self-efficacy is vital as it enhances performance and confidence while reducing stress. There is a research gap in exploring the relationship and differences between self-efficacy and pre-competitive anxiety across athletes in sports with varying characteristics. Research Objectives: Considering the lack of research on self-efficacy in Pencak Silat, this study aims to deepen understanding of how self-efficacy impacts performance, particularly when comparing individual and team categories in Pencak Silat. Methods: Sample selection used the Purposive Sampling technique, with criteria including individual and team categories in Pencak Silat consisting of 30 athletes, including 15 individual and 15 team categories from Pencak Silat PON Jawa Barat and PAL Kota Bandung athletes. The research design used is a correlation and comparative study, with data collection employing a quantitative method. The measurement tools used were the CSAI-2R and the GSES. The data were analysed using correlation tests to measure the relationship between anxiety levels and self-efficacy, and independent sample t-tests were used to compare differences between the two groups in terms of anxiety and self-efficacy level. Finding and Results: The results of the correlation test show that there is a relationship between anxiety and self-efficacy with the Pearson value for teams (-0.532) and individuals (0.771), and the results of the hypothesis show a significant difference between the two categories (0.001 < 0.05). Conclusion: The study found significant differences in anxiety and self-efficacy between individual and team pencak silat athletes, emphasising the need for tailored psychological approaches to enhance performance. Future research could explore targeted mental training programmes, track changes over time, or examine other martial arts or athlete groups for deeper insights.

Background Problems: There are not many studies concerning a method combining resistance training (RT) and small-sided games (SSG) shortly on young soccer players. Research Objectives: This study reveals the acute impact of the combination of resistance training with small-sided games on the physical capacity of young soccer players. Methods: Quasi Experiment with a pretest-posttest group design, involving sixty students of Undiksha Soccer Student Activity Unit using a simple random sampling technique. Thirty samples each entered the combined group (SSG+RT), the small-sided games only (SSG) group, and all were involved in training four times a week (four weeks). Two sessions of aerobic endurance, agility, and leg muscle power (LMP) data collection were conducted in the field. Data were analysed using one-way MANOVA assisted by SPSS 16.0 with a significance level of 5%. Findings and Results: One-way MANOVA test showed F value = 61.390 and sig. value 0.000 (p < 0.05), which means there was a significant effect on aerobic endurance, agility, and LMP in both groups. There was no difference in aerobic endurance results in the SSG+RT and SSG groups with a sig. value of 0.092 (p > 0.05), but there was a difference in the two groups in agility with a sig. value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) and LMP with a sig. value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: To improve aerobic endurance, agility, and LMP simultaneously, a combined training method can be implemented, namely integrating resistance training into small-sided games. The current findings can help to improve the performance of young soccer players in a short time. However, it is necessary to study more deeply other variables that have the potential to affect the results of the current findings, such as longer training times.

Background: Physical literacy is one of the main concepts that encompasses a wide range of outcomes and themain focus of the physical education curriculum. In designing physical literacy, it takes very serious concern, whether sports education students are ready in implement experiential learning programmes that contribute to improvement physical literacy, daily lifestyle, and pedagogic abilities. Considering the importance of physical literacy for students, future physical education teacher candidates should have a good level of understanding of physical literacy before passing it on to their students in the future. Research Objectives: This study aims to determine the understanding of physical literacy in sports education students. Methods: A descriptive quantitative approach was adopted for this study. During the course of this study, closed-ended questionnaire were used to collect data. The population in this study was sports education students of Muhammadiyah University of Jember. The sampling technique was voluntary response sampling, totalling 217 students aged between 18-23 years, divided into 194 male students and 36 female students. An alternative in choosing answers to questionnaires with a Likert scale of 1-5 (1: strongly disagree to 5: strongly agree) then the data was analysed using percentages. Finding and Results: Sport education students have a high perception of physical literacy mainly related to the health-related benefits of exercise. But there is still a small proportion of them do not have self-management skills for fitness. A total of (82.1%) of them realized that the benefits of exercise can improve fitness. Conclusion: Sports education students’ good understanding of physical literacy should be accompanied by good fitness management skills as a form of implementation of this understanding. As future physical education teachers, they will be role models for their students. The relationship between an active lifestyle between physical education teachers and students is an interesting recommendation for further research.

Background: Physical performance in Sepak Takraw is very important, including speed, agility, and strength. One of the important factors in supporting sepak takraw achievement is physical performance. Physical performance is important to evaluate, but the fact that empirically evaluating the physical performance of Sepak Takraw has not shown a comprehensive evaluation means that a more in-depth evaluation is needed. Research Objectives: This study seeks to assess the physical condition of Indonesian Sepak Takraw athletes throughout the general preparation stage. Methods: Participants in Sepak Takraw were 12 people aged 19-31 years, weighing ± 60-75 kg and ± 164-179 cm tall. The aspects evaluated consist of speed, endurance, agility, power, and muscle endurance. This study's instruments include a 20-meter sprint, a multistage fitness test, sit-ups, a 60-second backup, a shuttle run, and a vertical jump. The data was analysed using quantitative descriptive analysis and the nonparametric Wilcoxon test. Findings and Results: The results of mean speed values obtained in each test are 1 (3.03) and 2 (3.15), endurance test 1 (49.87) and 2 (53.63), situp test 1 (72) and 2 (84), back up test 1 (111) and 2 (119), agility test 1 (5.14) and 2 (5.01), power test 1 (62.83) and 2 (64.17). Regarding the Asymp.sig (2-tailed) value, speed obtained a value of 0.004, endurance 0.004, sit-up 0.010, and agility 0.018 with p < 0.05. Several aspects have seen substantial changes; however, the specific focus should be devoted to the speed aspect, which requires improvement. Conclusion: This evaluation provides information to improve physical performance. Further evaluation is needed to collect more comprehensive data. Future research can build on the findings of the current study, provide deeper insights and more comprehensive strategies to improve the physical performance of Sepak Takraw athletes.

Background: Shooting accuracy is critical for basketball players to be able to score as many points as possible and outperform opponents. While it is critical to have the ability to score, female players in Palembang City tended to preserve their incorrect shooting form, which led to the inconsistency of their shooting accuracy. Research Objectives: This study aims to analyse the comparison between the effect of personalised and group repetition training on shooting accuracy and consistency for female basketball players. Methods: This study uses a pretest-posttest control group design, using SPSS v26 to generate the tabulation and statistical analysis. A total of 30 female basketball players aged 17-21 (19.14±1.18) were selected as the research sample. Participants were divided into two groups using ordinal pairing based on the results of the pretest from various competitive levels and participated in a 12-week training program tailored to their shooting mechanics and performance metrics. Finding and Results: Results indicated that the experimental group significantly improved shooting accuracy and consistency compared to the control group. The personalised training approach addressed individual biomechanical flaws and optimised shooting techniques, enhancing performance, which was shown in the average value of the experiment group that was higher than the control group. Additionally, players reported gaining more confidence and motivation due to the tailored nature of the training. Conclusion: This study highlights the potential of personalised training programmes in sports, emphasising the need for individualised approaches to optimise athlete performance. Further research is recommended to explore long-term effects and applicability across different sports skills and levels.
