Abstract

Background: Existing tactical assessment tools generally evaluate overarching game principles but lack positional specificity and do not integrate decision-making and execution within a coherent framework. Moreover, these instruments were developed outside the Indonesian context, creating a clear gap for a position-integrated tool tailored to the tactical demands of youth football in Indonesia. Objectives: Thusstudy aimed to develop and validate a new instrument for assessing attacking tactical behavior in youth football by incorporating positional roles and experience-level differences. Methods: The instrument was developed through content validation with seven experts using Aiken’s V. Construct validity was subsequently assessed via the known-groups method, involving 72 football players from a university club and youth teams. The instrument’s reliability was further evaluated through inter-rater reliability with three raters and test–retest reliability with 36 youth football players. Finding/Results: The instrument demonstrated excellent content validity (Aiken’s V = 0.952) and good discriminant validity, with college players scoring significantly higher than youth players. Reliability analyses indicated strong inter-rater (ICC = 0.837-0.939) and test–retest reliability (ICC = 0.801-0.923). Compared with other instruments, the tool offers greater positional detail and holistic integration of tactical behavior, enabling more context-specific evaluation of attacking actions. Conclusion: The instrument was found to be valid and reliable for assessing attacking tactics in youth football. Although the sample size was limited and the instrument development did not yet address defensive and transitional phases, these findings support further refinement and application in future research.

Abstract

Background: Developing proficiency in the backhand drive is essential for novice table tennis players, yet identifying the most effective training methodologies remains a significant challenge. However, existing literature has predominantly examined training methods in isolation. There is a notable lack of empirical evidence regarding how these methods interact with individual physical attributes, leading to a potential gap in understanding effective personalized coaching strategies. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the interaction between two common training methods (wall bounce vs. pairing) and arm muscle strength (strong vs. weak) on the acquisition of backhand drive skills in novice players. Methods: A 2 × 2 factorial experimental design was employed over an eight-week period with 76 novice male university students (age 18-22). Participants were stratified into four groups based on the training method and arm muscle strength, which was assessed using a 30-second push-up test. Backhand drive ability was evaluated using a validated scoring rubric. Finding/Results: A two-way ANOVA revealed a significant main effects for training method (p < .043, ηp2 ​= 0.11) and arm muscle strength (p < .001, ηp2​ = 0.70), as well as an interaction effect between these factors on backhand drive performance (F(1.36) = 6.99, p < .05, ηp2​ = 0.16). Post-hoc analysis showed that the wall bounce method was significantly more effective for players with strong arm muscles (p < .05), whereas for players with weaker arm muscles, no significant difference was found between the two training methods (p > .05). Conclusion: The optimal training method for backhand drive development is contingent on the athlete's physical characteristics. This finding challenges the one-size-fits-all coaching paradigm and provides strong evidence for a personalized approach that matches training methodologies to the individual strength levels of athletes.

Abstract

Background: Anxiety is a major psychological factor that significantly affects the performance of college futsal players, so coaches need to understand anxiety. However, existing anxiety scales are not explicitly developed for futsal and often overlook critical pre-match external stressors, such as the opponent’s reputation and audience pressure, which are highly influential in the futsal environment. As a result, pressure in these areas is still ignored. Objective: To develop an instrument that can measure the pre-match anxiety scale for college futsal players (PMAS-CFP). Methods: This study employed an R&D design, incorporating content validity, ICC testing, construct validity, and reliability testing. Fourteen items were designed using three indicators: concentration impairment, somatic anxiety, and worry. Findings/Results: Psychometric testing showed strong content validity (Aiken’s V = 0.67-0.96), acceptable ICC (0.550), adequate construct validity (factor loadings = 0.60-0.82), high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.922), good CFA loadings (0.667-0.946), composite reliability (CR = 0.965), and average variance extracted (AVE = 0.681). A total of 13 items met the required validity and reliability standards, consisting of concentration disorders (3 items), somatic anxiety (5 items), and worry (5 items). Conclusion: The PMAS-CFP is a valid and reliable tool for assessing pre-match anxiety in college futsal players, filling a gap in existing non-sport-specific anxiety measurements. This scale can help sports psychologists and coaches monitor athletes’ psychological readiness. Future studies are recommended to expand the use of this tool during and after matches, as well as to validate its use at broader levels of competition.

Abstract

Background: Adolescence is a crucial stage for identity formation and social skill development, yet many adolescents struggle with emotional regulation and building healthy interpersonal relationships. Martial arts activities are known to instill discipline, respect, and cooperation, contributing to socio-emotional growth. However, empirical studies examining the direct relationship between martial arts participation and interpersonal intelligence especially in the Indonesian adolescent context remain limited. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the role of martial arts activities in supporting the development of adolescent interpersonal intelligence through the values of discipline, cooperation, and respect for others. Methods: This study used an ex post facto method with a quantitative approach. The subjects were 87 adolescents who actively participated in martial arts training in pencak silat, karate, and taekwondo in Bandung City. The instruments used included a martial arts activity questionnaire and a validated interpersonal intelligence scale. Findings/Results: The results of the compare mean analysis showed that the highest average score in interpersonal intelligence was found in the empathy indicator (M = 17.2; SD = 2.1), while in martial arts activities the highest was found in the activity type indicator (M = 13.4; SD = 2.2). In addition, the results of simple linear regression showed a 36.4% contribution of martial arts activities to interpersonal intelligence (R2 = 0.364; F = 122.77; p = 0.001). Conclusion: The findings indicate that martial arts participation contributes positively to adolescents’ socio-emotional development, particularly by strengthening interpersonal intelligence. This study provides an important contribution by offering empirical evidence for the role of sports-based character education in shaping interpersonal skills. However, the limited sample and the use of an ex post facto design reduce the generalizability and do not allow causal interpretation. Future research should involve larger and more diverse participants as well as stronger methodological designs to better understand how martial arts influence adolescents’ interpersonal development.

Abstract

Background: Hadang is a traditional Indonesian team sport that demands a high level of whole-body reaction time and unilateral postural control. Various training modalities have been shown to improve key physical components which collectively support performance in fast-paced games like the hadang. However, evidence on the effectiveness of neuromuscular training in this sport is limited. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of 8 weeks of neuromuscular training on balance and reaction speed in university-level Hadang athletes. Methods: A quasi-experimental, controlled pretest–posttest design with two parallel groups was used. Thirty athletes were allocated to either a neuromuscular training group (NTG; n = 15; 3 sessions/week for 8 weeks; ~30–40 minutes/session) or a control training group (CTG; regular training without neuromuscular training). Primary outcomes were unilateral balance and whole-body reaction time. Data were analyzed using 2 × 2 mixed-design ANOVA, with paired t-tests for simple effects. Findings/Results: Compared to CTG, NTG demonstrated significant improvements in balance and significant decreases in whole-body reaction time, while changes in CTG were not substantial. Conclusion: Eight weeks of structured neuromuscular training effectively improved balance and reaction time in college-level hadang athletes, with moderate effect sizes for balance and large effects for reaction time. Given its simplicity, minimal equipment requirements, and compatibility with standard training microcycles, neuromuscular training is worthy of adoption as a core, evidence-based component of performance periodization for hadang.

Abstract

Background: Self-regulation is a core psychological skill for football athletes because it enables them to maintain attention, manage emotions, and adjust behavior under competitive demands. Although self-efficacy is widely recognized as an important predictor of self-regulation, only a limited number of studies have examined whether positive affect, particularly happiness, moderates this relationship, leaving an empirical gap in understanding how cognitive and emotional resources interact in athlete functioning. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the influence of self-efficacy on self-regulation in football athletes and to test whether happiness moderates this association. Methods: A quantitative moderated regression design was used with 106 Indonesian male football athletes aged 14 to 22 years who were registered with professional or academy clubs. Data were collected using validated Indonesian versions of the Athlete Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES), the Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ), and the short Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ). Measurement models demonstrated acceptable reliability and fit, and assumption checks indicated normal residuals, homoscedasticity, and no serious multicollinearity, supporting the use of Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). Finding/Results: The findings showed that both self-efficacy and happiness significantly and positively predicted self-regulation, and happiness significantly moderated (attenuated) the relationship between self-efficacy and self-regulation. The final model explained over half of the variance in self-regulation. Conclusion: Although the cross-sectional, self-report, and entirely male sample limits causal interpretation and generalizability, the results highlight the importance of integrating confidence building strategies with happiness enhancing approaches in psychological skills training for football athletes. Future research is encouraged to examine additional moderators using longitudinal or experimental approaches.
