Abstract

Physical activity is very closely related to movement skills and can be developed through physical education. By integrating self-efficacy into physical education as an intervention, it is hoped that both can be instilled and developed simultaneously.This study aims to examine the effect of self-efficacy in physical education in order to increase physical activity and sports satisfaction for young women. This research is an experimental research using a randomized pretest-posttest control group design. The instruments used to collect data were the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) for young and middle-aged adults (15-59) and the Basic Needs Satisfaction in Sport Scale (BNSSS) instrument to measure satisfaction in sports which were then processed using an independent sample t-test compares two sample means to determine whether the group means differ significantly. The results of this study can be concluded that by integrating self-efficacy content in physical education lessons, it is very large in supporting the physical activities of female students and also increasing students’ motivation and creating a better learning environment. In addition, this intervention can increase satisfaction with physical education learning. These results have an indirect impact on students’ satisfaction in sports. Furthermore, it is necessary to conduct research on samples from various regions and samples of elementary school and college students.

Abstract

The demands of modern football are to play at a high tempo for two 45-minute games or more. Aerobic endurance, power, maximum speed, and acceleration are not enough for today players. The purpose of this study was to reveal the impact of 3-a-side and 5-a-side small-sided games (SSGs) on increasing anaerobic endurance. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest group design involving 40 young football players who were randomly assigned to practice 3-a-side and 5-a-side for 4 weeks. Before and after carrying out the 4-week training, a Repeat Sprint Ability Test (RSAT) was performed to measure anaerobic endurance. The paired sample t-test was used to determine whether there was an effect of the exercise, and the independent sample t-test was used to see whether there was a difference in the results between the two groups at the 1% significance level. Before carrying out the parametric test, the data were first tested for normality using Kolmogorov-Smirnova and for homogeneity using Levene's. It was revealed that 3-a-side and 5-a-side SSGs were both capable of increasing anaerobic endurance, but there was no significant difference between the two groups. It can be concluded that anaerobic endurance can be increased within four weeks by using these two methods. The recommendations from this study are to conduct a randomized controlled trial with a larger and more diverse sample to validate and extend these findings. Further studies also need to explore the effects of SSGs exercise on anaerobic endurance over a longer exercise period and in different age groups to gain a more comprehensive understanding.

Abstract

Accurate physical condition measurement results are obviously determined by the quality of the instrument, namely a valid and reliable instrument. Developing a push-up measurement tool combined with technology is an urgent need. Moreover, this study aims to determine the validity and reliability of the Push-Up Counter (PUC) as a sensor-based measurement of arm muscle strength. This research is development research that focuses on uncovering the validity and reliability values of PUC using a quantitative approach. The validity value was obtained from the assessment of three experts by conducting questionnaire which has four main aspects, namely: instructions, components, safety, and usage. 30 athletes/students were involved as the subject participants in measuring the PUC reliability. Furthermore, the data collection were analyzed by using SPSS to determine the value of r. This study found that the PUC was valid (r = 0.88). The Cronbach Alpha value of this reliability instrument was r = 0.41. Referring to the validity and reliability result, it can be concluded the PUC was feasible and elligible to be used in measuring the arm muscle strength in the process of physical test. However, PUC operation is not yet integrated with smartphones. These results also provide opportunities for further research in developing application-based PUC devices or Android.

Abstract

In athlete coaching, mental factors often receive less attention than physical factors, such as technique, tactics, and strategy. This study explored the use of hypnosis as a mental exercise in coaching volleyball athletes. This study was conducted on 20 PBVSI volleyball athletes in Pidie Regency using an experimental one-group pretest-posttest design and then tested their abilities using the American Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance (AAHPERD) volleyball playing skills test. The collected data were analysed using inferential statistics (specifically the t-test) with SPSS 27 at the 0.05 level of significance. The results showed a significant improvement in volleyball playing skills after hypnosis training, indicating its potential application in athlete coaching. Hypnosis was found to significantly improve concentration, confidence, and emotional control among athletes—key elements that contributed to overall sports performance. However, limitations of this study include the small sample size and focus on one type of sport. Therefore, further research involving larger samples across different sports is recommended for wider generalisability. In addition, long-term studies are needed to assess the sustained effects of hypnosis over time. In conclusion, our preliminary findings underscore the potential benefits of integrating mental training techniques such as hypnosis into athletic training programmes to improve performance outcomes. These results highlight the importance of considering psychological aspects alongside physical aspects in athletic training.

Abstract

Elevated levels of lactic acid in the blood and muscles following intense training or competition can have detrimental effects on physical performance and increase the likelihood of injury. Therefore, it is crucial to identify effective recovery techniques to mitigate fatigue promptly. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of sports massage and the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) method on the recovery of lactic acid in athletes. This study employed a true-experimental design using a pretest-posttest without a control group. A sample of 20 female futsal athletes was divided into two groups: the sports massage group (SM) consisting of 10 participants, and the PNF method group also comprising 10 participants. Lactic acid levels were assessed before exercise, immediately after completing the anaerobic exercise, and immediately after the recovery intervention based on the respective group allocation. The results showed an increase in lactic acid after anaerobic exercise in both groups. The SM group experienced a significant decrease compared to the PNF group which did not experience a significant decrease. A significant disparity was observed in the mean lactic acid levels between the two groups in the post-test data. In conclusion, the application of sports massage following anaerobic exercise proves to be effective in reducing lactic acid concentrations in futsal athletes compared to the PNF method. The findings of this study are anticipated to yield advantages for coaches, sports medical teams, and athletes by lowering lactic acid levels, enhancing sports performance, and mitigating injury risks. Practically, the findings underscore the potential benefits of incorporating a 15-minute sports massage into the recovery routine of female futsal players.

Abstract

Sedentary behavior changes during the pandemic caused a crucial reduction in the need for physical education and the time involved in physical activity so all parents and teachers at school experienced this challenge. The purpose of this study was to investigate the 24-hours movement guidelines, sleep quality, and screen time during and after the pandemic. This study used a cross-sectional method with an observational approach. The total subjects in this study were 1070 elementary school students with an average age of 10.69 ± 0.83 years, body weight 37.32 ± 10.57 kg, and height 139.66 ± 9.78 cm. The results showed that after the pandemic, children's playing habits outdoors and sleep duration increased sharply as the time in front of the screen decreased, although they tended to be the same as during the pandemic. Thus, it is hoped that these findings can serve as a reference for parents and teachers in schools to adopt a healthy lifestyle by prioritizing physical activity compared to using screens. so that habits during a pandemic can be overcome and students can improve their fitness levels. This investigation is limited to Jambi and its surrounding areas. Additional research can investigate the rise in the number of elementary school and respondents, as well as expand the scope to include the province, island, and country of Indonesia. This study findings may assist in restoring the physical activity behaviors of elementary school-aged children whose well-being is presently being compromised by excessive screen time, so that habits during a pandemic can be overcome and students can improve their fitness levels.

Abstract

Changes in learning methods cause a crucial decrease in physical education needs and time of involvement in physical activity, which can affect individual stress levels. The objective of this study was to find out the comparison of physical activity patterns and stress levels between blended versus conventional learning methods. This study used quasi-experimental with a posttest-only approach with a control group design. The total subjects were 160 sports students from Universitas Jambi, who were divided into two groups (Experiment and Control) with average age of 21.69 ± 1.33 years, weight of 55.74 ± 6.48 kg, height of 170.10 ± 5.51 cm, and BMI of 21.06 ± 2.77 kg/m2. The results showed that the blended learning group had a lower level of physical activity when compared to their respective conventional groups. Furthermore, the stress level in the blended learning group had a moderate stress while the conventional group had a low-stress. Thus, the research findings have answered the question that physical activity can affect an individual’s stress level, and conventional learning methods are still the best method compared to blended learning methods. This finding can be used as a reference, especially for educators, both lecturers and teachers in schools, to be able to take a spiritual approach and invite students to do activities they like, such as exercise and recreation, to trigger a sense of enthusiasm in students to continue to improve their fitness degree. Therefore, this will have an impact on mental health, which can affect student stress levels much lower.

Abstract

Endurance training plays a pivotal role in football performance, shaping players’ cardiovascular fitness and metabolic adjustments. The purpose of this study is to investigate the different changes in biochemical parameters after exposure to 12 weeks of circuit training based on endurance in football. A total of fifteen elite football players, with an average age of 16.87 ± 1.13 years, an average weight of 61.87 ± 5.94 kg, and an average height of 172.82 ± 5.18 cm, participated in the study. On average, they had been training for 5.0 ± 1.0 years and had intermediate experience in national-level competitions for 4.0 ± 1.0 years. Following the initial data collection, the participants engaged in a twelve-week endurance training programme, involving one hour of daily training for four days a week. Pre-experimental designs were used in the data collection process. Further, for the analysis and extraction of data, descriptive statistics and t-tests were employed. The significance level was set at P < 0.05. Significant changes were found from baseline to post-treatment in each player’s biochemical parameters. A significant increase in HDL, haemoglobin, creatine, and RBC and a significant decrease in LDL and VLDL were observed. The findings of this study underscore the potential benefits of endurance training for elite football players, as reflected in positive alterations in various biochemical parameters. However, for more comprehensive conclusions and a deeper understanding of the broader implications. Future research is recommended with larger sample sizes, control groups, and more detailed performance outcome measurements. This research contributes to our knowledge of the physiological responses of elite football players to endurance training and the potential advantages, it offers in optimising their performance and overall health.

Abstract

Understanding the significance of efficient post-exercise recovery methods in alleviating muscle damage and addressing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) among athletes following plyometric circuit training. The study aimed to determine the effect of dynamic stretching in water (active pool-based) and sports massage (SM) on muscle damage indices post-plyometric circuit training. A total of 30 participants were divided into three control groups and one experimental group, who were given two recovery protocols (APB + BCAA and sports massage) after the trial. Data were statistically analysed using a one-way ANOVA test with post-test measurements and a Bonferroni test (P < 0.05). It is concluded that statistically the APB + BCAA post-hoc test with SM did not show any significance. However, on average, APB + BCAA was preferable at reducing DOMS symptoms; measurements 3 and 4 in the intervention groups also showed a significant effect on the control group. The study findings underscore the valuable contribution of active recovery in water and the use of supplements in improving initial recovery outcomes after strenuous exercise or sports, aligning with the exercise recovery principle that highlights the inseparable relationship between nutrition and soft tissue modalities.
