Abstract

Background: Evidence indicates that cricket match results depend on the quality of sport motivation (SM) and technical skills (TS) of elite athletes, and both aspects can be improved through coaches' verbal encouragement during circuit training (CVEdCT). However, limited research has examined the combined effect of verbal encouragement within structured circuit training on both psychological and technical outcomes in cricket. Objectives: Our study aims to examine the effect of CVEdCT on improving SM and TS. Methods: This study adopted an experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design. We involved 38 elite cricket athletes in this study. Overall, this study was conducted over a period of 9 weeks. The SM and TS aspects were measured at the pretest and posttest stages. Results: Our research results show that there is a time × group effect on the SM variable in all indicators of intrinsic motivation (p = 0.007), integrated regulation (p = 0.0012), external regulation (p < 0.001), amotivation (p = 0.010), and TS variables with indicators of batting accuracy (p < 0.001), bowling speed (p = 0.006), bowling accuracy (p < 0.001), and fielding efficiency (p = 0.024). Meanwhile, we observed a time effect on the indicators of intrinsic motivation (p = 0.002), integrated regulation (p = 0.031), external regulation (p = 0.013), and amotivation (p = 0.048). Additionally, the TS variable showed significant effects for the indicators of batting accuracy (p = 0.007), bowling speed (p = 0.003), bowling accuracy (p = 0.011), and fielding efficiency (p = 0.006). Based on the Poshoc Bonferroni analysis, there was a significant effect of both groups on SM and TS, but the increase was greater in CVEdCT than CTG. Conclusion: Thus, this study concludes that CVEdCT can improve SM and TS among elite cricket athletes better than CTG.

Abstract

Background: The lack of standardised rules and safety measures in traditional games limits their utility for structured physical activity and fitness promotion. In particular, the traditional Singkongan game, which involves wooden sticks, presents safety risks and diminishes its suitability for modern fitness contexts. Objectives: This study aimed to develop and examine the content validity of Singkoball as a sportified model of the traditional Singkongan game. Methods: A research and development design was employed, focusing on product development and expert validation. Four experts (two sports specialists, one linguist, and one graphic design expert) evaluated the product using structured validation instruments. Data were analysed using percentage-based validity criteria and inter-rater agreement. Results: The developed product demonstrated high content validity, with valid scores of 98.96% (sports experts), 88.90% (language experts), and 88.60% (design experts), resulting in an overall score of 92.15%. These findings indicate a high level of agreement regarding the clarity, safety, and usability of the developed model. Conclusion: Singkoball demonstrates robust content validity and feasibility as a culture-based model. However, its impact on motor skill development and engagement among children and adolescents has yet to be empirically established and requires rigorous field-based evaluation.

Abstract

Background: Physical literacy is one of the main concepts that encompasses a wide range of outcomes and themain focus of the physical education curriculum. In designing physical literacy, it takes very serious concern, whether sports education students are ready in implement experiential learning programmes that contribute to improvement physical literacy, daily lifestyle, and pedagogic abilities. Considering the importance of physical literacy for students, future physical education teacher candidates should have a good level of understanding of physical literacy before passing it on to their students in the future. Research Objectives: This study aims to determine the understanding of physical literacy in sports education students. Methods: A descriptive quantitative approach was adopted for this study. During the course of this study, closed-ended questionnaire were used to collect data. The population in this study was sports education students of Muhammadiyah University of Jember. The sampling technique was voluntary response sampling, totalling 217 students aged between 18-23 years, divided into 194 male students and 36 female students. An alternative in choosing answers to questionnaires with a Likert scale of 1-5 (1: strongly disagree to 5: strongly agree) then the data was analysed using percentages. Finding and Results: Sport education students have a high perception of physical literacy mainly related to the health-related benefits of exercise. But there is still a small proportion of them do not have self-management skills for fitness. A total of (82.1%) of them realized that the benefits of exercise can improve fitness. Conclusion: Sports education students’ good understanding of physical literacy should be accompanied by good fitness management skills as a form of implementation of this understanding. As future physical education teachers, they will be role models for their students. The relationship between an active lifestyle between physical education teachers and students is an interesting recommendation for further research.

Abstract

Background Problems: Target panic was an experience that almost all archers went through. Research Objectives: This study aimed to minimise the symptoms of target panic in archery, including flinching, punching, freezing, and snap-shooting, by implementing the integration of the Specific Physical Training (SPT) Drill method with imagery. Methods: In this context, the method used is sports action research with the Kurt Lewin model, which consists of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects were NPCI Kalsel Para-Archery athletes, totaling 12 athletes consisting of 9 males and 3 females. The data analysis used is descriptive-quantitative. Findings and Results: The study revealed an improvement in effectively managing panic-inducing events using the implemented method. In the initial cycle, 41.67% (5 athletes) achieved success in controlling panic, falling below the criteria. However, in the second cycle, there was a notable enhancement, reaching a success rate of 83.33% (10 athletes), meeting criteria. In the second cycle, proficiency levels showed a remarkable increase of 99.98% and a decrease of 28.58%. Conclusion: By demonstrating the effectiveness of integrating the SPT drill with imagery in alleviating target panic, this research makes a noteworthy contribution to the literature on sports psychology and archery training. The results highlight the appropriateness of this approach in improving archers' physical conditioning, fostering confidence, and subtly reshaping their perspectives on anxiety related to archery. We can say that the SPT drill with imagery worked because it got better every time from the first cycle to the next. This shows that it could be a good way to help archers who get target panic.

Abstract

Background Problems: Physiological demands are very important in supporting both martial arts training and competition. Building on previous research exploring the physiological demands of competitive sports, this study delves into the specific characteristics of Shorinji Kempo athletes, particularly focusing on Randori. Research Objectives: This study aims to examine the physiological characteristics of shorinji kempo randori athletes in West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted on 14 male athletes and 12 female athletes who served as samples in this study. Physiological characteristics are divided into anaerobic performance, which is represented by leg and arm power variables, which are measured using the vertical jump (cm) and medicine ball test (m) instruments, respectively. Then, for aerobic performance, maximum oxygen uptake, or VO2Max (ml/kg/min), is used, which is measured using the multi-level fitness test. This study used quantitative descriptive data analysis, which is seen from the average of each characteristic, both anaerobic and aerobic performance. Findings and Results: The results of the descriptive statistical calculations show the average score of each variable. Each variable is assessed by categorization, so the results are in good and poor categories for several variables. The t-test was conducted to see the difference in the average variables between genders. All variables show a significant difference between male and female athletes (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the results of the Pearson correlation indicated that there was a positive and significant relationship for each variable (p < 0.05). Conclusion: We suggest taking a lab-based test instead of a field test in order to gain more specific data about those physiological aspects. It is hoped that the results of this study can be used as a reference for trainers in creating programmes based on the physiological characteristics of sports and for contributing to the literature on Shorinji Kempo, especially on Randori.
