Abstract

Background Problems: Due to the intricate nature of the game and the requirement for proficiency in core skills like dribbling, passing, shooting, and defensive positioning, basketball players frequently have difficulties developing their technical abilities. Traditional training approaches may not focus enough on these skills, leaving room for growth. Research Objective: This study investigates how well basketball players' technical skills may be improved through game-based instruction, particularly small-sided basketball games. The study aims to address the need for a more focused approach to technical elements by highlighting the value of focused practice in pertinent game scenarios. Methods: The type of research used was quantitative research with a sample of 12 amateur athletes. The instrument used is the game performance evaluation tool (GPET). Quantitative data from pre- and post-assessments were examined using the appropriate statistical techniques, such as paired t-tests or analysis of variance (ANOVA). For the study, basketball players with various skill levels were listed. Small groups of participants received specialised training to develop their technical abilities. Findings and Results: Participants' technical proficiency significantly improved after strategically focused practice using small-sided basketball games. The outcomes show that this game-based method works well for improving basic abilities, including passing, dribbling, shooting, and positioning defensively. The results highlight how effective it is to use small-sided games to help basketball players enhance their skills. Conclusion: The study concludes that small-sided basketball games are an effective strategy for improving basketball players' technical proficiency. Notwithstanding several constraints, such as a comparatively limited sample size and consistency in participant skill levels, the findings indicate that focused practice in pertinent gaming environments produces notable enhancements. To better understand the potential of this strategy for players of different skill levels, future studies should include additional variables like training amounts and differences in small-sided game structures.

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: Gymnastics learning is considered an exercise programme that is aimed at improving the balance movement skills of kindergarten students. There is a limited gymnastic program to develop the kindergarten students’ balance and movement skills that meet the students’ needs and wants. Research Objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of gymnastics learning activities on the ability to move balance for kindergarten students. Methods: This research is an R&D, a movement and song gymnastics program for the kindergarten students’ balance. The participants involve 30 students aged 5-6 years. The validators were five experts focusing on the topic addressed. The first stage examines qualitatively articles, e-books, textbooks, and programme design. The second stage applies the Aiken’s V technique to assess the training program. The third stage analyses the assessment results. The fourth stage tests the training programme. Findings and Results: Based on the results of Aiken V’s analysis related to the movement and song gymnastics program developed, the overall score shows a range of 0.8 to 1.00. The programme is feasible and valid as a balance movement learning in kindergarten. Conclusion: The movement and song practice programs that have been prepared have good and valid content validity. The novelty of this study is to develop a gymnastics program integrated with the educational curriculum for kindergarten children. This includes designing activities taking into account the differences in each child's level of balance, strength, and motor skills. The programme will be applied to students to know the effectiveness of the movement and song training program for gymnastics on the balance ability of kindergarten students.

Abstract

Background Problems: Currently, there is still limited identification of nutritional intake, hormonal, and physical performance in adolescent athletes in Indonesia. Research Objectives: This study aims to identify anthropometric, nutritional intake, IGF-1 hormone level, and adolescent athletes’s performance. Methods: The research method used a cross-sectional study. A convenient sample of 58 athletes under Balai Pemusatan Pendidikan dan Latihan Pelajar. The research instrument used Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), leg dynamometer, hand grip dynamometer, tape measure, height stature, SQ-FFQ Form, and body fat caliper. Blood samples were collected and tested by a professional laboratory. Data analysis techniques used Pearson’s test for normally distributed data and Spearman’s rank for non-normally distributed data. Findings and Results: The result of this study found a significant (p < 0.05) correlation between energy intake, anthropometric measurement of z score (BMI/Age), and endomorph score with an athlete’s muscle strength. We also found significant differences (p < 0.05) in macronutrient and micronutrient consumption in male and female athletes, and we also found significant differences in somatotype score and muscle strength in male and female athletes. Conclusion: We conclude that many athletes are not consuming the recommended levels of carbohydrates, fat, protein, and some micronutrients. We found a correlation between energy intake and fat intake with leg muscle strength. However, there was no correlation between IGF-1 hormone levels and athlete strength. Intake is thought to indirectly affect grip strength and leg strength.

Abstract

Background: Physical performance in Sepak Takraw is very important, including speed, agility, and strength. One of the important factors in supporting sepak takraw achievement is physical performance. Physical performance is important to evaluate, but the fact that empirically evaluating the physical performance of Sepak Takraw has not shown a comprehensive evaluation means that a more in-depth evaluation is needed. Research Objectives: This study seeks to assess the physical condition of Indonesian Sepak Takraw athletes throughout the general preparation stage. Methods: Participants in Sepak Takraw were 12 people aged 19-31 years, weighing ± 60-75 kg and ± 164-179 cm tall. The aspects evaluated consist of speed, endurance, agility, power, and muscle endurance. This study's instruments include a 20-meter sprint, a multistage fitness test, sit-ups, a 60-second backup, a shuttle run, and a vertical jump. The data was analysed using quantitative descriptive analysis and the nonparametric Wilcoxon test. Findings and Results: The results of mean speed values obtained in each test are 1 (3.03) and 2 (3.15), endurance test 1 (49.87) and 2 (53.63), situp test 1 (72) and 2 (84), back up test 1 (111) and 2 (119), agility test 1 (5.14) and 2 (5.01), power test 1 (62.83) and 2 (64.17). Regarding the Asymp.sig (2-tailed) value, speed obtained a value of 0.004, endurance 0.004, sit-up 0.010, and agility 0.018 with p < 0.05. Several aspects have seen substantial changes; however, the specific focus should be devoted to the speed aspect, which requires improvement. Conclusion: This evaluation provides information to improve physical performance. Further evaluation is needed to collect more comprehensive data. Future research can build on the findings of the current study, provide deeper insights and more comprehensive strategies to improve the physical performance of Sepak Takraw athletes.

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.
