Abstract

Effective management allows teachers to see and handle student learning problems. This study aimed to determine the physical education management of elementary school teachers in Central Java and its predictors. This research is quantitative with data description and correlation. Using purposive sampling, the total number of respondents was 50 physical education teachers at the elementary level in Central Java. The data was processed using descriptive statistics, data normality, and correlation. The subjects studied had a minimum teaching experience of 1 year. Data collection techniques include instruments and observation by physical education teachers. The instruments included planning, implementation, and evaluation of physical education management. The questionnaire uses a scale of 1-4. In terms of age and length of teaching, researchers used correlation analysis. Correlation data were processed using SPSS Version 21. The management of physical education in Central Java is in the "good" category. Physical education management includes planning, implementation, and evaluation. Length of teaching and age are not predictors in physical education management. Most physical education teachers are linear and have at least a bachelor's degree. Further studies are needed involving many teachers and other variables to determine predictors. The results of this study contribute consideration, support, and contribution of ideas to stakeholders to improve the quality of physical education. The role of management is crucial in enhancing teachers’ ability to achieve educational goals in general.

Abstract

Strenuous physical activity is able to cost muscle damage. In urban society, ten kilometers running has become a modern culture. It induces acute inflammation as a normal physiological response. Conversely, a foam roller is known as a self-myofascial release (SMR) technique which can be done individually. Previous studies stated that foam rolling (FR) could increase flexibility, and reduce muscle pain sensation. However, there is still a limited supply of scientific evidence to prove its positive effects, especially through biomarkers such as creatine kinase (CK). This study aims to elucidate the beneficial effects of a foam roller in CK concentration after 10 kilometers of running which induces DOMS. A quasi-repeated measures design was elected as an approach to conducting this study. The purposive sampling technique was used to obtain the subjects (n= 10). Creatine kinase measurements were performed before 10 km running and 3 days post running by using the COBAS INTEGRA 400 Plus Test (the UV-test concept). Repeated Measures ANOVA was used to determine the effect of FR on CK. Ten kilometers of running increased Total CK concentration, pre-test data was 146.2 ± 36.3 (U/L), and 24 hours was 452.3 ± 216.5 (U/L). Creatine Kinase decreased at 48 hours (300.6 ± 117.6 (U/L), and 72 hours (238.4 ± 67.5 (U/L) post-application of foam rolling. We conclude that long distance running increased significantly total CK, and foam rolling might decrease CK concentration in the blood.

Abstract

The development of innovative learning media is one of the solutions for educators in the learning process in higher education in the current era of digital and technological disruption. Interactive learning media are relevant to be applied in hybrid or blended learning methods. The purpose of this study was to find out the results of validating D-MESS content as an interactive learning medium in sports massage courses. The data used in this study are quantitative data obtained from questionnaires filled out by learning experts, media experts, and programming experts. The data analysis technique used is quantitative descriptive, which is oriented towards the Content Validity Index (CVI) approach. The results of the validation test on D-MESS show that, from the educational aspect, a value of 0.89 is obtained, on the aspect of program display, a value of 0.91, and on the aspect of technical quality, a value of 0.83. Referring to these results, the interactive learning media for the sports massage course, which is named D-MESS, has a high level of validation, both from the educational aspect, program appearance, and technical quality. So that the relevance of all components of the three aspects, such as curriculum suitability, content of learning materials, interaction, feedback, coloring, graphics, sound, animation, display between screens, ease of use, and program security, is very good, even though there are minor revisions. Furthermore, with this very high D-MESS validation value, it is suggested for future research.

Abstract

Disturbances during menstruation such as dysmenorrhea affect the performance of female athletes. However, research on the physiologic conditions of female Taekwondo athletes was still very limited. This study aimed to obtain a predictive model for the level of dysmenorrhea and to test which variable had the most influence on the rate of dysmenorrhea. The research design adopted cross-sectional methods. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to analyze the effect of BMI and micronutrient intake of nine elite regional and national female Taekwondo. The results showed that the average female athlete had a normal BMI, while for micronutrient intake per day, the average intake of vitamin E was low, the vitamin B6 intake was low, Magnesium intake was low and Calcium intake was fulfilled. The most influence on the occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea in female Taekwondo athletes was calcium intake. This study was limited to measurements of BMI and dietary micronutrient intake, which might help provide data that coaches, athlete nutritionists, and athletes could be used to predict and assess the incidence of primary dysmenorrhea. More research could use the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), which could better explain how often athletes consumed certain food ingredients over a specific time period.

Abstract

The Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test is frequently used to evaluate VO2max and is crucial for determining an athlete's physical condition. However, its effectiveness in accurately assessing the physical condition of football players remains limited. This study aims to analyze the level of the physical condition of football players' VO2max which will be used as evaluation material for designing training programs so that the pattern of coaching becomes focused and produces achievements. This research used a quantitative approach to the survey method. The subjects of this study were Pusaka FC football club athletes, the sampling technique used total sampling so that all athletes were a sample of 23 players. The test instrument used the Yo-Yo Intermitten Recovery Test level 2. Data analysis used descriptive percentages, with the assistanceof the Microsoft Excel 2019 software application. The results of the study show that the VO2max level value in soccer athletes is 13.04% of athletes in the poor category and 34.78% in the good category. Below average, 47.82% shows the average category, and there is only 4.35%, which shows the value of the good category. Based on the results of the VO2max ability test, the average classification of Club Pusaka FC players is still relatively low. However, it is necessary to know that the limitations of this study lie in the condition of the players' nutritional intake which has not been controlled and their age which must also be taken into consideration by researchers. Furthermore, it can find information on the effect of athlete nutrition on endurance ability.

Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the level of professional competence of physical education teachers in Bengkulu Province, with the main objective being to describe and determine the level of professional competence of teachers and the differences based on several variables, namely gender, teaching location, and teaching experience. A quantitative descriptive method was implemented in this study to achieve the research objectives. The research sample was 49 physical education teachers in Bengkulu Province. Techniques and instruments for collecting research data were in the form of receipts which were distributed via GoogleForm. An Independent sample t-test was used to analyze data regarding differences in the professional competence of physical education teachers based on gender. Meanwhile, one-way ANOVA was used to analyze differences in the professional competence of physical education teachers based on teaching location and teaching experience. The results of this study indicated that physical education teachers in Bengkulu Province have a very high level of professional competence, and there were no differences in teachers' professional competence based on gender, teaching location, or teaching experience. The limitations of this research included the involvement of a relatively small number of samples, the restriction of samples to public schools, and a lack of diversity in the sample variations. For further research, it is advisable to involve a larger number of samples from private schools and islamic schools. It was also recommended that physical education teachers develop competence in conducting classroom action research.

Abstract

Teachers may find difficulty to design assignments that will increase arousal and keep students’ attention during stages that will encourage them critically to reflect on their actions during physical education activities. Designing assignments that increase arousal and maintain students' attention during physical education activities can be a challenging for teachers, often resulting in a reliance on traditional skills-based approaches. This study aims to address this issue by applying the Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) model with a small-sided games (SSG) approach to enhance students' football playing skills. The study used 3 vs 3 invasion games to evaluate playing skills, with a game performance evaluation tool (GPET) used as the playing skill instrument. Decisions regarding coding and execution are made in accordance with the subject of the tactical challenge to be solved, including on- and off-ball attackers. The findings revealed that the experimental group’s decision-making ability when passing was 7.97 and when dribbling was 7.28. The performance results in the experimental group were 7.98 and those in the control group were 7.48. The research made a valuable contribution by demonstrating how using TGfU and SSGs can improve football skills and enhance the quality of teaching in physical education. One limitation is that the research only focused on football playing skills, so the results may not be generalizable to other sports or activities. Future research can investigate the impact of the intervention on other outcomes, such as enjoyment, motivation, and participation in physical activity.

Abstract

The population of elderly individuals in the village of Tinggede, Indonesia, continues to increase. It is crucial for the ageing population to maintain good fitness throughout the ageing process. Ageing in the elderly encompasses a range of issues, from declining motor function to muscle strength loss. Therefore, it is important for the elderly to preserve muscle strength through physical exercise to ensure independent functioning. This research aimed to investigate the effects of a combination of resistance and aerobic exercises on muscle strength in healthy elderly individuals. The study involved a sample of 30 male elderly individuals aged 60 years and older. The treatment group was given a combination of resistance exercise and aerobic exercise, while the control group was given aerobic exercise. Resistance exercise is given three times per week with a progressive increase in sets and reps. While aerobic exercise is given seven times per week for 40 minutes per session. Participants were examined for muscle strength before and after the intervention using a digital hand grip dynamometer (DHD). The analysis performed included paired t-test and independent t-test with p <0.05. The results demonstrated a significant increase in hand grip strength among the participants who underwent the exercise programme compared to the control group. These findings suggest that a progressive increase in sets and repetitions for each exercise activity can effectively enhance muscle strength in the elderly. However, it is pivotal to note that this study was limited to a single village. Nonetheless, the exercise combination proposed in this study provides valuable insights for sports medicine research and can be utilised as a reference for designing exercise programmes targeting healthy elderly individuals.

Abstract

Character education is an essential aspect of education that transcends academic development. However, its implementation is frequently hindered by students' lack of social responsibility and mutual respect. Through the development of a physical education learning model based on the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) approach, this study sought to address the fundamental problems inherent in the implementation of character education in schools. Using an experimental method and a pretest-posttest design with 56 elementary school students, this study employed the game Engklek to promote character development and enhance fundamental manipulative skills. The results demonstrated a positive impact on the character traits, knowledge, and abilities of the students, with increased scores at levels 1 and 2. However, there were identified limitations, such as the need for adequate facilities and the limited habituation of character characteristics in daily life due to time constraints. Overall, this research contributes to the development of a physical education learning model that enhances the character development and fundamental manipulative movements of elementary school students, whereas future research should explore alternative materials and interactive learning media to further improve physical education.
