Abstract

Background Problems: Stress can cause a person to experience an accumulated risk of increased cholesterol and negatively impact performance in the field, as indicated by a decrease in blood glucose levels. Research Objectives: This research aims to identify the relationship between stress and blood glucose levels to find solutions for athletes to maintain glucose levels when competing. Methods: The research method was cross-sectional with an observational study approach. Glucose levels were assessed using an Accu-Chek device, while anxiety levels were assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) questionnaire. The research subjects were 130 Provincial Training Camp (PELATPROV) athletes with an average age of 25.01 ± 5.15 years old, a weight of 64.15 ± 7.93 kg, a height of 171.21 ± 5.88 cm, and a BMI of 21.98 ± 3.71 kg/m2. Findings and Results: The results indicated significant differences in stress (0.001 < 0.05) and blood glucose levels (0.001 < 0.05) between the two groups. The pre-PON athlete group dominated the increase in stress and decrease in blood glucose levels compared to the non-Pre-PON group. Thus, this research has provided evidence of a correlation between stress levels and decreased blood glucose levels. Conclusion: Psychological and physiological aspects were proven to have an inevitable correlation. Athletes and coaches must communicate more deeply about the expected treatment during the preparation period, during and after the match, to understand each other’s needs to achieve performance. Therefore, athletes’ performance can be maintained well during competition and training.

Abstract

Background Problems: There is an integration of strategy, calmness, and accuracy in petanque. Various training forms focus on several parts of the arm muscles to increase the stability of the arm muscles and the ability to throw the ball on target, however, no one has developed a training method that can enhance both accuracy and muscular strength. Research Objectives: This research aims to determine the effect of resistance band exercises on shooting accuracy in petanque athletes. Methods: This research employed a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest approach and a control group design. The research subjects were divided into two groups (experimental and control) and given different treatments. The total number of research subjects consisted of 40 athletes with an average age of 21.43  ± 2.48, a weight 56.07  ± 2.33, a height 170.41  ± 5.12, and a BMI 19.86  ± 2.56. Data analysis was tested using a one-way ANOVA to compare the two groups. Findings and Results: The research results indicated that resistance band exercises for 16 weeks had a positive and statistically significant impact on increasing shooting accuracy in the experimental group compared to the control group in petanque athletes. Thus, this research has provided evidence and recommendations for athletes and coaches that specific recommendations to improve throwing accuracy in petanque must be added with the contribution of strength training with resistance bands. Conclusion: The combination of resistance bands with other forms of accuracy training is also recommended for further research so that options for implementing strength training related to throwing accuracy become more varied to help improve petanque performance. This study can be used as a starting point for training variations that are documented in the literature, which can help coaches and athletes develop skills-related fitness components for the purpose of improving shooting accuracy capabilities in petanque.

Abstract

Background Problems: The lack of variety in exercises applied by coaches makes players feel bored, so they must be given training variations by looking at training methods that significantly improve basic tennis technique skills between game training methods and drills. Research Objectives: This study aims to determine differences in the effect of game and drill training methods on improving basic tennis technical skills based on the age groups of 10-12 years and 13-15 years. Methods: In this context, the method used was experimental research with a 2x2 factorial design. The sample consisted of 24 male athletes in Lampung who were separated into 4 groups. Findings and Results: (i) There are differences in the effect of game practice and drill methods on improving basic tennis technique skills. (ii) There is a difference in improving basic tennis technique skills between the age groups of 10-12 years and 13-15 years. (iii) There is an influence of interaction between training methods and age groups on improving basic tennis technique skills. Conclusion: The age group 10-12 years is more appropriate if given the game training method, and the age group 13-15 years is more appropriate if given the practice training method. The findings of this study provide an important contribution by highlighting the importance of both applied training methods for basic tennis technique. This training method is also adapted for age-based characteristics. Therefore, the recommendation to use game and drill training methods as part of tennis training can help athletes cope with intense playing conditions. Based on the analysis above, the novelty of the research developed by the researcher was two exercise methods compared, two age groups that were sampled, and research instruments using International Tennis Number (ITN) On Court Assessment. Researchers used game and drill training methods that could affect the sample after treatment. Different from previous research, the sample used was male athletes aged 10-15 years.
