Abstract

Background Problems: Intellectual, emotional, and spiritual intelligences are believed to influence student learning achievement. However, the specific impact of these intelligences on physical education and, more specifically, on pencak silat learning outcomes remains unexplored. Research Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of intellectual, emotional, and spiritual intelligence on students' learning achievement in pencak silat. Methods: This research method uses descriptive quantitative causality. We sampled 96 students from a high school in Bekasi City. This study used four instruments: (i) Sternberg triarchic abilities test, (ii) global emotional intelligence test, (iii) spiritual intelligence test, and (iv) pencak silat learning achievement using Bloom's taxonomy. We analysed the data using descriptive statistics, specifically the F-test and T-test. Findings and Results: The study revealed that intellectual, spiritual, and emotional intelligence all play a significant role in enhancing students' learning achievement in pencak silat within physical education settings. Among these, emotional intelligence emerged as the most influential factor, surpassing both intellectual and spiritual intelligence in its impact on academic success. This finding underscores the critical role of emotional regulation and awareness in mastering complex physical and mental skills in pencak silat. Conclusions: The findings highlight the importance of strengthening all aspects of intelligence in education. This research brings a fresh perspective to the field of physical education, highlighting the increasing prominence of emotional intelligence in learning outcomes. It demonstrates the need for the development of emotional intelligence in the context of physical education, particularly in relation to pencak silat. For a more comprehensive understanding, we can conduct further research to investigate the interaction of these intelligences with other variables such as motivation, learning environment, and teaching methods.

Abstract

Background Problems: Sports exercise offers numerous health benefits but is also linked to sports injuries. According to a large body of research, researchers have identified age, gender, injury history, and level of competition as consistent risk factors for injury. Research Objectives: This study aims to analyse the injury prevalence of athletes in some sports and compare the epidemiological characteristics related to injury risk factors between athletes who experienced injuries and those who did not. Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach with a retrospective cross-sectional design. An online questionnaire collected data from a sample of  172 athletes and sports activists in football, cycling, and running. We conducted descriptive and comparative analyses using the SPSS 29 version. Findings and Results: 135 of the 172 respondents experience injuries, with the highest prevalence in football (42.2%), running (36.3%), and cycling (21.5%). Most athletes had recurrent injuries (36.3%). The Mann-Whitney test results showed no significant differences in mean age, weekly training frequency, and training duration between athletes who had injuries and those who did not. Conclusion: This study provides important insights into the prevalence and characteristics of injuries among athletes. The results of this study, which compare injured and non-injured athletes, can help develop better injury prevention and management strategies. We recommend increased awareness of injury conditions among athletes, coaches, and medical professionals to ensure a safe return to sport.

Abstract

Background Problems: Adolescents face various social challenges, such as the need to succeed in a competitive environment, cope with stress, face a global pandemic, and must develop in the future as adults. Research Objectives: The purpose of this research is to create an outdoor program integrated with PYD and 21st century skills that form a generation of young people who are resilient and ready to face global challenges. Methods: The method used in this study was the quasi-experimental design research method. The design used in this study was Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design With More Than One Experimental Group. The research instrument to measure 21st century skills is the 21st century skills questionnaire, and to measure positive youth development (PYD) using the PYD 7Cs questionnaire. Findings and Results: There was a significant difference in the effect of the outdoor education program of PYD integration with the control group with a calculated f value of 17,993 and a sig value of 0.000. Similarly, there are differences between the 21st century skill integration group and the control group with a calculated f value of 15.579 and a sig value of 0.000. Conclusion: The results show that outdoor education that integrates PYD and 21st century skills has a better impact so that youth have excess energy if not channelled into positive activities. Youth needs in outdoor education activities are still an attractive choice. In the 21st century, outdoor education activities become meaningful learning with the condition that there is an integration concept both in 21st century skills and positive youth development.

Abstract

Background Problems: Kurash is a traditional martial art and sport that plays an important role in promoting physical culture and a healthy lifestyle among young people. However, the specific physical and psychological factors that influence performance in Kurash, a martial arts sport, remain unclear. Research Objectives: This study aims to identify the dominant physical and psychological elements affecting Kurash sport performance. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive correlational approach was employed, involving 12 coaches and 40 Kurash athletes from South Kalimantan. Physical indicators were measured using anthropometric data (e.g., height, arm length) and biomotor skills (e.g., muscle strength, flexibility, speed). Aerobic tests assessed physiological capacity, and validated questionnaires evaluated psychological factors such as anxiety, concentration, self-confidence, and motivation. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares (PLS). Findings and Results: The study's results revealed two main findings. First, the dominant physical factors in kurash sport include arm muscle strength, back and leg muscle strength, flexibility, balance, arm muscle explosiveness, speed, and aerobic capacity. Meanwhile, the main psychological factors are anxiety and self-confidence. Secondly, physiological, biomotor, and psychological aspects were shown to contribute 68.7% to kurash sport performance, while anthropometric data was deemed insufficient to determine the main factors affecting performance. Biomotor, physiological, and psychological variables had a significant influence on kurash sport. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that biomotor, physiological, and psychological factors substantially affect the performance of Kurash athletes. However, certain constraints, such as the restricted sample size and lack of longitudinal assessment, affected the results. Future research should use larger samples and more comprehensive approaches to investigate the development of physical and psychological elements in Kurash.

Abstract

Background Problems: Self-regulation, which includes positive behavior, metacognitive awareness, and motivation, is critical to adolescents' development.  Despite its benefits in structured activities such as martial arts, there is a lack of existing tools to assess self-regulation among adolescent martial arts participants. This study addresses this gap by developing an instrument to measure adolescents' self-regulation abilities. Research Objectives: This research aims to adapt an instrument in the form of a questionnaire to measure self-regulation in martial arts activities. Methods: The author uses the cross-cultural adaptation method. Adapting research instruments is not just a language change. There is an aspect of cross-cultural adaptation that is important so that the research instrument can measure what it should measure (valid) and be reliable (consistent in measurement). A total of 58 participants were involved in three stages of instrument validity, consisting of 21 pencak silat students, 18 karate students, and 19 taekwondo students who were selected proportionally. Findings/Results: After data analysis, the results of this research are 67 SR-MAQ question items declared valid and reliable. Conclusion: The development of the SR-MAQ instrument allows for the measurement of the self-regulation of teenage martial arts practitioners, contributing to their positive development. To expand the utility and generalisability of this instrument, we need further research involving a wider age range and participants from different types of martial arts. This will not only increase the relevance of the findings but also provide richer insights into the role of self-regulation in various adolescent activity contexts.

Abstract

Background Problems: In Indonesia, sports study programmes must adapt to the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) curriculum, which is based on outcome-based education (OBE). In OBE, Learning Outcomes of Graduates (LOG) are carried out through the implementation of learning, or outcome-based learning and teaching (OBLT), using a pedagogical model that is in accordance with the development of the MBKM curriculum, and the pedagogical model associated with the OBE-based MKBM curriculum is Sport Education (SE). SE is a pedagogical model that is consistent with OBE principles and is considered relevant for implementing the MBKM curriculum. However, there is no empirical evidence to support the reliability of SE as a curriculum model in sport study programmes at the higher education (HE) level, hence the need for a validation study. Research Objectives: This study aims to validate and empirically test the reliability of SE as a curriculum model for sports study programmes at the higher education level. Methods: This study used the 4-D R&D methodology, which involved small-scale (56 students) and large-scale (147 students) trials. Reliability was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient with SPSS. Findings and Results: Results suggest that SE works well with OBE principles within the MBKM framework, providing sports studies programmes with a powerful way to teach new things that are useful in the real world. Further research is recommended to validate SE in sport-specific contexts such as martial arts. Conclusion: The study concluded that SE is a reliable reference curriculum model for sport studies programmes at the HE level, which is aligned with OBE principles as required by the MBKM curriculum. The findings advocate wider adoption of SE in HE learning, particularly for sport studies programmes, subject to further validation in a range of sport disciplines using SE.

Abstract

Background Problem: Nutrition plays an important role in fitness, yet there is limited understanding of how non-sporting students, particularly nutrition students, manage their fitness. This study fills the gap by exploring the relationship between physical activity, dietary habits, and fitness in this group. Research Objective: This study aims to examine the fitness profile of female undergraduate nutrition students and explore the factors associated with fitness such as physical activity level (PAL), nutritional status, and diet. Methods: To answer the research objective, a cross-sectional design was conducted, involving 114 healthy female students, aged 18-20 years old. Respondents were selected by using proportional random sampling, which enabled equal representation of each class in the study. Exclusion criteria: students have chronic disease or condition affecting physical fitness. Physical fitness was assessed using the Harvard Step Test, PAL was measured via an online self-administered IPAQ, nutritional status was assessed using a body mass index (BMI) calculation, and dietary data (energy and iron intakes) was assessed using 2x24 non-consecutive food records. Chi-squares or Fisher Exact tests were done to analyse the association between physical fitness and other variables. Finding and Result: We found that almost all of our respondents were at poor levels of physical fitness. There was no significant association between physical fitness and other variables such as PAL, BMI, and diet. Conclusion: This research supported previous findings that college students in health majors have poor fitness. Future studies should explore additional factors such as physiological stress, sleep pattern, or socio-economic status that may impact the fitness level of health-major students.

Abstract

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.
