Abstract

Background: Existing volleyball skill assessment tools are commonly adapted from adolescent or adult performance standards and may not accurately represent the motor development characteristics of children aged 10-13 years. Moreover, psychometrically validated instruments specifically designed for elementary school students remain limited. Objectives: The objective of this research is to create and test a volleyball skill assessment tool tailored for elementary school pupils aged 10 to 13 years. Methods: The study employed a research and development (R&D) design adapted from the Borg and Gall model. Test building concepts served as the basis for a research and development strategy. Five fundamental volleyball abilities were evaluated by the test: smash, underhand passing, overhand passing, underhand serving, and overhand service. Purposive sampling was used to pick 50 Bengkulu City primary school pupils as participants. Aiken’s V and CVR were used to assess content validity with six experts. Data processing utilised G*Power (v3. 1.9.7) and Jamovi (v2.3.2). Results: Strong content validity was shown by every skill component (CVR > 0.83; Aiken's V ≥ 0.87). EFA identified a two-factor structure that explained 71.84% of the overall variance: offensive technical ability and basic ball control. There were moderate to high relationships between criterion validity and game performance (r = 0.63-0.71). All subtests had strong reliability indices (ICC = 0.87-0.94; test–retest r = 0.79-0.86). Conclusion: The developed instrument demonstrated satisfactory validity and reliability and shows potential for assessing basic volleyball skills among elementary school students. The constraints include a limited sample size and a restricted geographical scope. Future studies should encompass larger, more diverse groups and investigate technology-based evaluation formats to improve applicability.

Abstract

Background: Early childhood is a critical period for developing fundamental motor skills and physical fitness; however, despite the widespread implementation of kids’ athletics programmes, limited research has examined the combined effects of specific training models, such as Slalom Switch, Okubuuka, and Kykkaa, within a structured intervention to improve multiple physical fitness components in children. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effects of a 12-week Kids’ Athletics Level 2 training programme on physical fitness in children aged 8-11 years. Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed involving 40 elementary school students selected through purposive sampling. The intervention was conducted three times per week. Physical fitness was assessed using the Indonesian Student Fitness Test (TKSI), including coordination, accuracy, strength, agility, and cardiovascular endurance. Data were analysed using paired sample t-tests. Results: The results showed significant improvements across all variables (p < 0.05), with the largest increases observed in coordination (+57.14%) and strength (+50%), followed by accuracy (+50%), endurance (+15.25%), and agility (+10.23%). Conclusion: In conclusion, the Kids’ Athletics Level 2 training model may be effective in enhancing multiple components of physical fitness in children. However, the absence of a control group limits causal interpretation, and further studies using controlled experimental designs are recommended.
