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 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.

Abstract

Background: Shooting accuracy is critical for basketball players to be able to score as many points as possible and outperform opponents. While it is critical to have the ability to score, female players in Palembang City tended to preserve their incorrect shooting form, which led to the inconsistency of their shooting accuracy. Research Objectives: This study aims to analyse the comparison between the effect of personalised and group repetition training on shooting accuracy and consistency for female basketball players. Methods: This study uses a pretest-posttest control group design, using SPSS v26 to generate the tabulation and statistical analysis. A total of 30 female basketball players aged 17-21 (19.14±1.18) were selected as the research sample. Participants were divided into two groups using ordinal pairing based on the results of the pretest from various competitive levels and participated in a 12-week training program tailored to their shooting mechanics and performance metrics. Finding and Results: Results indicated that the experimental group significantly improved shooting accuracy and consistency compared to the control group. The personalised training approach addressed individual biomechanical flaws and optimised shooting techniques, enhancing performance, which was shown in the average value of the experiment group that was higher than the control group. Additionally, players reported gaining more confidence and motivation due to the tailored nature of the training. Conclusion: This study highlights the potential of personalised training programmes in sports, emphasising the need for individualised approaches to optimise athlete performance. Further research is recommended to explore long-term effects and applicability across different sports skills and levels.

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: The decline in children’s physical activity in Papua poses a serious concern, particularly due to its negative impact on health and motor skill development. Limited multi-skill proficiency among young children contributes to reduced engagement in physical activities. Despite global efforts to promote physical literacy, few interventions have focused on culturally relevant and age-appropriate activities to improve multi-skills in early childhood, especially in underserved regions like Papua. Research Objectives: This study aimed to improve the multi-skill development of 6-7-year-old elementary school students through the implementation of the Kids’ Athletics Level 1 program, incorporating locally adapted games such as “Crocodile River,” “Socorro,” and “Meo Duoi Chuot.” Methods: A quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach was employed. A total of 50 students aged 6-7 years were selected via purposive sampling. The Indonesian Physical Fitness Test was used to assess outcomes, including sit-and-reach, one-leg standing balance, tennis ball catch-and-throw, shuttle run, and an 800-meter run. Paired-sample t-tests were conducted to evaluate differences between pretest and posttest scores. Findings/Results: The analysis revealed a statistically significant improvement in students’ multi-skill performance (p < 0.05). The findings support the integration of the Kids' Athletics program into school curricula as an effective strategy to enhance motor competence in early childhood. Conclusion: The Kids’ Athletics Level 1 model, enriched with culturally adapted games, proves effective in developing fundamental multi-skills in young children. Physical Education teachers are encouraged to adopt this model alongside other programs to optimize physical development in early learners, particularly those in low-activity regions such as Papua.

Abstract

Background: The sustainability of football tourism is greatly influenced by supporters’ visits. After the Kanjuruhan stadium disaster, in terms of their loyalty to the club, the risks they perceived as a result of the disaster, and and involvement of fans to the sport there was a question about whether football fans (Aremania) wanted to visit the stadium again. Research Objectives: This study explores sports fans’ intention to revisit stadiums, a topic rarely studied compared to the more common focus on tourism destinations. This study  aims to determine the effect of loyalty, sports involvement and risk perception on revisit intentions. Methods: Quantitative explanatory research has been carried to test the influence of loyalty, sport involvement and perceived risk on revisit intention. The respondents in this study were 533 Aremania in Malang, Indonesia. then the data obtained was analyzed using WARP-PLS 7.0. Findings and Results: The results of this research show that loyalty and sports involvement influence revisit intention, meanwhile perceived risk does not influence revisit intention. Conclusion: Aremania still shows the intention to watch the match live at the Kanjuruhan stadium and this desire is influenced by their loyalty to the club. Apart from that, Aremania tends to dare to take risks by watching matches at the Kanjuruhan Stadium. Research on revisit intention at sports stadiums has rarely been conducted before. This research has benefits as a basis for government consideration to create a safe system so as to revive the sports tourism sector such as improving management and security measures at the stadium. This research has a scientific contribution as a source of reference in further research, especially from the aspect of sport tourism regarding consumer behaviour to make revisit intention.

Abstract

Background Problems: The coach-athlete relationship and the coach’s behaviour are vital in shaping athletes’ experiences, motivation, and long-term commitment to sports. While previous studies have explored coach-athlete relationships and coaching behaviours, few have examined their combined impact on long-term sports participation. This study seeks to explore how these variables contribute to sustaining youth sports involvement. Research Objectives: The primary objectives of this study are to assess the influence of the coach-athlete relationship and coaches’ interpersonal behaviours on youth athletes’ intention to continue participating in sports and to investigate the relationships between these factors and the overall intention to persist in sports. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive-correlational design was used to examine the relationships between the coach-athlete relationship, coaching behaviours, and youth athletes’ intention to continue in sports. The study involved 66 varsity athletes from a school in Cotabato, Philippines, selected through total enumeration, with data collected using the validated Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (CART-Q) and Interpersonal Behaviour Questionnaire (IBQ). Data were analysed using frequency counts, weighted means, and Spearman’s rho correlation to assess variable associations and ensure reliability. Findings and Results: The analysis revealed a positive coach-athlete relationship, with athletes expressing strong agreement on trust, respect, and commitment. Perceptions of interpersonal behaviours were similarly positive, particularly regarding coaches’ encouragement in skill development and the enjoyment of time spent with them. However, the study found no significant relationship between the coach-athlete relationship, coaching behaviours, and athletes’ intention to continue participating in sports. Conclusion: Despite positive perceptions of the coach-athlete relationship and interpersonal coaching behaviours. This study found no significant influence on youth athletes’ intention to continue sports participation, highlighting the need for further research on other factors such as athlete motivation, support systems, and environmental conditions that may affect long-term sports engagement.
