Abstract

Background Problems: There are not many studies concerning a method combining resistance training (RT) and small-sided games (SSG) shortly on young soccer players. Research Objectives: This study reveals the acute impact of the combination of resistance training with small-sided games on the physical capacity of young soccer players. Methods: Quasi Experiment with a pretest-posttest group design, involving sixty students of Undiksha Soccer Student Activity Unit using a simple random sampling technique. Thirty samples each entered the combined group (SSG+RT), the small-sided games only (SSG) group, and all were involved in training four times a week (four weeks). Two sessions of aerobic endurance, agility, and leg muscle power (LMP) data collection were conducted in the field. Data were analysed using one-way MANOVA assisted by SPSS 16.0 with a significance level of 5%. Findings and Results: One-way MANOVA test showed F value = 61.390 and sig. value 0.000 (p < 0.05), which means there was a significant effect on aerobic endurance, agility, and LMP in both groups. There was no difference in aerobic endurance results in the SSG+RT and SSG groups with a sig. value of 0.092 (p > 0.05), but there was a difference in the two groups in agility with a sig. value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) and LMP with a sig. value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: To improve aerobic endurance, agility, and LMP simultaneously, a combined training method can be implemented, namely integrating resistance training into small-sided games. The current findings can help to improve the performance of young soccer players in a short time. However, it is necessary to study more deeply other variables that have the potential to affect the results of the current findings, such as longer training times.

Abstract

Background: High-intensity exercise induces distinct cardiovascular responses, but systematic comparisons between trained and untrained individuals remain limited. Objective: The primary objective of this study was to compare cardiovascular responses to HIIT specifically heart rate, blood pressure, and blood lactate levels and to identify factors influencing these differences. Methods: A systematic literature review following the PRISMA framework was conducted for this study. The initial search on the Scopus database using keywords such as “High-Intensity Exercise,” “Cardiac Output,” “Trained,” and “Untrained” yielded 380 articles. After a rigorous screening process, which applied strict inclusion and exclusion criteria including the requirement that articles be published in Q1-Q4 ranked journals between 2014 and 2024 a final set of 10 primary articles was selected for in-depth analysis. Findings/Results: High Intensity Interval Training effectively improves cardiovascular function in both trained and untrained individuals. Significant increases in cardiac output and VO₂ max are observed, particularly in trained cyclists. While untrained individuals also benefit, superior cardiovascular adaptations are seen in those who are trained. Furthermore, HIIT is proven to be safe; it does not increase the risk of cardiovascular dysfunction and even has a cardioprotective effect, demonstrated by an increase in cardiac ejection fraction. Conclusion: This review provides the first systematic synthesis comparing cardiovascular responses to high-intensity exercise between trained and untrained individuals. The findings highlight the importance of training status in exercise prescription and offer practical insights for coaches and health practitioners in optimizing high-intensity training programs.

Abstract

Background: Swimming performance is fundamentally influenced by the interaction between anatomical structures and physiological functions, both of which determine movement efficiency, endurance capacity, and overall athletic performance. Despite the increasing number of studies examining these aspects separately, there is still no comprehensive bibliometric investigation that systematically maps the research landscape on anatomy and physiology in swimming. Objectives: This study employs bibliometric analysis to comprehensively identify and characterize research trends within the field of anatomy and physiology as they pertain to swimming over the past decade (2015-2025). Methods: This study systematically analyzed 371 Scopus-indexed publications concerning the anatomy and physiology of swimming, published within the decade spanning 2015 to 2025. To discern prominent research trends, we employed co-word analysis and text mining techniques, facilitated by VOSviewer software. Finding/Results: The bibliometric analysis indicated an absence of a consistent upward trend in research within the field of anatomy and physiology related to swimming. Peak publication years were observed in 2015 and 2017, each recording 58 documents. Geographically, the United States was the most prolific contributor, accounting for 173 published documents. Lauder, G.V., was identified as the most influential author, having individually contributed 12 publications. Regarding subject focus, Agricultural and Biological Sciences constituted the predominant area of research, representing 193 documents (29.2%) of the total publications in this domain. Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of research on anatomy and physiology in swimming and identifies key contributors and emerging themes for future investigation.

Abstract

Background: Engagement and sports success are two important aspects for young athletes in various sports including table tennis, but there is still limited research reporting on factors that can influence these two aspects. Objectives: This study investigates the relationship between coach support and exercise habits with engagement and sports success among young table tennis athletes. Methods: This study adopted a correlational research method to reveal the relationship between each variable. Participants included young table tennis athletes (n = 50), who were assigned to complete questionnaires on coach support, exercise habits, engagement, and sports success. Finding/Results: The study results are as follows. First, a strong positive correlation was observed ranging from r = 0.72* to r = 0.95*, indicating that higher levels of perceived coach support are associated with greater engagement. Meanwhile, correlations ranged from from r = 0.48* to r = 0.87*, indicating a moderate to strong relationship between coach support and sports success. Second, a significant correlation was found, ranging from r = 0.45* to r = 0.92*, demonstrating that consistent exercise habits contribute to higher engagement. Meanwhile, correlations ranged from r = 0.45* to r = 0.87*, indicating a moderate to strong relationship between exercise habits with sports sports. Conclusion:  The results highlight the importance of coach support and exercise habits in fostering engagement and enhancing sports success among young table tennis athletes. A limitation of our study is the relatively small number of participants, consisting only of young table tennis athletes. Therefore, we recommend that future research include participants from other sports, such as tennis, badminton, or sepak takraw.

Abstract

Background: Artistic swimming in Indonesia has grown slowly due to limited participation and the absence of standardized regulations at the beginner level. Although basic stroke events are often held, they lack a consistent and validated competition system, creating a gap that reduces fairness and hampers athlete development. Objectives: This study aimed to design and validate a standardized management model for basic stroke artistic swimming competitions. Methods: Research and development (R&D) following Borg and Gall was applied at the expert validation stage. Ten nationally and internationally certified judges evaluated the model using a 5-point Likert scale covering arena layout, personnel duties, and scoring procedures. Data were analyzed descriptively, with ≥ 3.5 considered valid. Finding/Results: Expert evaluation indicated a high level of feasibility (mean score = 4.6), confirming that the proposed model aligns with international guidelines and is suitable for implementation. Experts agreed that the competition arena, personnel structure, and integrated scoring system—which combines technique execution and swimming speed—provide fair and objective evaluation for beginner-level athletes. Conclusion: The validated model offers the first standardized management framework for basic stroke artistic swimming competitions in Indonesia, supporting consistent event organization and nurturing athlete development. However, the current study is limited to expert assessment. Further field trials involving real competition settings are required to determine the model’s effectiveness in practice.

Abstract

Background: Strength training is essential for developing physical performance in student-athletes, yet existing resistance-band tools generally target isolated limb movements and lack a wearable, integrated design. This creates a gap in the availability of portable and ergonomic training equipment suitable for the physical characteristics of adolescent athletes. Objective: This study aimed to develop a chest rig resistance band as a wearable strength-training device and to evaluate its feasibility and effectiveness. Methods: This research employed a mixed-method Research and Development (R&D) approach involving expert validation (three experts), a small-scale trial (12 student-athletes), a large-scale trial (60 student-athletes), product revisions, and an effectiveness test with 14 athletes. Data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive techniques for expert feedback and quantitative descriptive analysis for validation scores and performance improvements. Finding/Results: The Body Chest Rig Resistance Band RSZT 01 demonstrated high feasibility based on expert evaluations (81.94%-90%, very feasible category). Small-scale and large-scale trials also showed very feasible results (93% and 92%). Effectiveness testing revealed performance improvements, indicating that the device supports functional strength training for adolescent athletes. Conclusion: The Body Chest Rig Resistance Band RSZT 01 is feasible and effective as a portable, wearable strength-training device for student-athletes, offering a practical alternative to conventional equipment. Future studies should test the device on larger populations and over longer training periods to further validate its effectiveness.

Abstract

Background: Athletes with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries often reduce or stop sports participation due to fear of re-injury and low confidence in their injured knee. While most studies emphasize physical recovery, fewer explore how subjective knee function affects psychological readiness to return to sport. Objectives: This study aims to determine the contribution of self-reported knee symptoms and function (subjective assessment) to psychological readiness to return to sport after ACL injury with operative and non-operative treatment. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 40 participants who met the inclusion criteria for post-ACL injury, both operative and non-operative. Data were collected using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC 2000) questionnaire for subjective knee function and the Anterior Cruciate Ligament–Return to Sport after Injury (ACL-RSI) scale for psychological readiness. A simple linear regression test was conducted with a 95% confidence interval. Finding/Results: The mean IKDC score was 69.80 ± 12.53 and the mean ACL-RSI score was 58.43 ± 19.12. The regression analysis showed a significant positive relationship between subjective knee function and psychological readiness to return to sport (r = 0.61, p < 0.05), with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.373. Conclusion: Subjective knee function significantly influences psychological readiness to return to sport after an ACL injury. Enhancing knee function through targeted rehabilitation programs may improve athletes’ confidence and reduce fear of re-injury, facilitating a safer and more effective return to sport.

Abstract

Background: Sports tourism based on local wisdom offers an alternative approach to tourism development that strengthens cultural identity and enhances destination uniqueness. However, research that explicitly integrates sports tourism with local wisdom—particularly in Gorontalo—remains limited, creating a gap in understanding how traditional cultural practices can be incorporated into sports tourism strategies. Objectives: This study aims to examine the potential benefits and challenges of developing sports tourism grounded in local wisdom. Methods: An exploratory qualitative approach was employed, in-depth interviews were conducted with a number of informants (n = 18), observations, documentation reviews, and focus group discussions (FGDs) with three key stakeholder groups: local communities, local government institutions, and tourism industry actors. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman and validated through source and methodological triangulation. Findings/Results: Qualitative findings reveal that Gorontalo people continue to preserve cultural traditions such as bowling balls, boat racing, and lumense dance which is the main attraction of sports tourism. The region's strengths include its rich cultural heritage, natural resources suitable for outdoor sports, and active community participation. However, development is hindered by limited infrastructure, weak promotional efforts, and insufficient financial support. Conclusion: Strategic development requires cross-sector collaboration, strengthened community capacity, and innovation in sports-tourism products rooted in local wisdom. Practically, these insights can guide the creation of inclusive and sustainable tourism initiatives that leverage Gorontalo’s cultural and natural assets.

Abstract

Background: Rowing performance is shaped by athletes’ physical fitness and anthropometric characteristics, yet evidence from Indonesian rowing populations remains scarce. This gap is critical as declining performance in Kendari highlights the need to identify key predictors of 500 m rowing performance to inform more targeted, evidence-based training programs. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationship between physical ability, anthropometric characteristics, and 500 m rowing performance among male national rowing athletes at PPLP Kendari. Methods: A correlational quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach was employed. Thirty-nine male athletes aged 15-25 years were purposively selected from a total population of 60 based on inclusion criteria, including active participation in centralized training for at least six months, injury-free status, and official registration during the 2024 training season. Data were collected using standardized anthropometric and physical ability tests. Statistical analyses were conducted using descriptive statistics and multiple regression, with model assumptions confirmed (Kolmogorov-Smirnov, p > 0.05; VIF = 1.12; condition index = 8.5). Findings/Results: The regression analysis revealed a significant model (F(2,36) = 6.619, p = 0.004), explaining 51.9% of the variance in 500 m rowing performance (R2 = 0.519, SEE = 4.4 s). Anthropometric variables contributed 17.7% (R2 = 0.177) and physical ability variables 16.2% (R2 = 0.162), indicating that the combined model provided stronger explanatory power. Conclusion: Both anthropometric and physical ability factors demonstrated a moderate positive correlation with rowing performance. The findings emphasize the combined influence of physique and conditioning in achieving optimal rowing outcomes. This study contributes empirical evidence on the determinants of rowing success among Indonesian athletes and offers practical insights for designing targeted and evidence-based training programs.

Abstract

Background: Social-emotional learning (SEL) competencies are critical for children’s academic engagement and psychosocial well-being. Martial arts, which integrate structured practice, ethical instruction, and social interaction, are increasingly implemented in primary education; however, their effects on SEL outcomes in primary-school-aged children have not yet been systematically synthesized. Objectives: This systematic review aims to examine the effects of martial arts interventions on emotion regulation, executive function, and empathy among primary school children aged 6–12 years. Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Literature searches were conducted in Scopus, PubMed, SAGE Journals, SpringerLink, and Emerald Insight up to August 2025. Eligibility criteria were established using the PICOS framework. Nine empirical studies published between 2015 and 2025 were included. Study selection, data extraction, and risk-of-bias assessment were independently performed by two reviewers using Covidence, with RoB 2 applied to randomized studies and the JBI checklist to non-randomized designs. Owing to methodological heterogeneity, findings were synthesized narratively. Findings/Results: School-based and curriculum-integrated martial arts interventions were associated with improvements in children’s emotion regulation, executive functioning, and empathy. Positive outcomes were most evident in programs incorporating structured practice, reflective or mindfulness-based activities, cooperative learning, and autonomy-supportive pedagogy. Effects varied according to program duration, instructional fidelity, and pedagogical design, with limited or inconsistent findings reported for short-term or extracurricular interventions lacking explicit socioemotional components. Conclusion: Martial arts can be an effective pedagogical approach for enhancing SEL-related psychosocial competencies in primary education when delivered through structured, value-based programs. Future studies should prioritize standardized curricula, robust experimental designs, and longitudinal follow-up to determine the sustainability of intervention effects.
