Abstract

Background: The decline in student participation in aerobic gymnastics at the Pekan Olahraga Pelajar Daerah (POPDA) or Regional Student Sports Week in Central Java highlights the need for more flexible and effective training methods. While video-based coaching offers promising flexibility, limited research has examined its impact on the performance of student athletes, particularly in choreographed aerobic routines. This study addresses that gap by testing a video-based choreography model tailored for young athletes. Research Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a student-focused aerobic gymnastics choreography model in enhancing performance, particularly in artistic and creative aspects. Methods: This quantitative experimental study involved 13 student athletes (elementary to high school level) who were selected from the POPDA Central Java event. A total sampling technique was applied. The athletes followed the choreographic model intervention, and performance scores—assessed by judges—were compared before and after the intervention using paired sample t-tests analyzed in SPSS 2022. Finding/Results: The results showed a statistically significant improvement in athlete performance following the application of the choreography model (p < 0.05). Improvements were most notable in artistic expression and movement creativity, highlighting the model's efficacy in developing aesthetic and technical skills. Conclusion: The specially designed aerobic gymnastics choreography model significantly enhances the performance of student athletes. The findings support the integration of video-based coaching as a complementary tool to traditional methods, offering flexibility in training and supporting long-term athlete development. This approach may be adopted by coaches and competition organizers to foster a more sustainable and competitive environment for aerobic gymnastics at both regional and national levels.

Abstract

Background: Although research on emotional intelligence (EI) continues to expand, limited studies have examined EI within the context of badminton, particularly from gender and age perspectives. Research Objectives: This study aims to analyze the emotional intelligence levels of badminton athletes in West Java by examining differences based on gender and age groups. Methods: A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, involving 50 participants (29 males and 21 females). Emotional intelligence was assessed using the emotional skills dimension of the Badminton Sport Life Skills Scale (LSSBS), developed by Hambali. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, and one-way ANOVA, utilizing SPSS version 29.0. Finding/Results: The overall emotional intelligence level among participants was categorized as moderate (62%), with male athletes accounting for 38% and female athletes 24%. The t-test showed no statistically significant gender difference (p = 0.219), and the one-way ANOVA indicated no significant difference across age groups (p = 0.328). Conclusion: The findings suggest that emotional intelligence levels among badminton players in West Java do not significantly differ by gender or age. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence that can inform the development of targeted emotional intelligence training programs within badminton coaching contexts.

Abstract

Background: The integration of technology into archery training has gained attention, yet limited studies have compared the effectiveness of electric camera sensors and virtual reality (VR) systems in enhancing archery accuracy. The lack of clear data regarding how each method impacts arrow speed and accuracy necessitates further investigation. Research Objectives: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of two training approaches—electric camera sensor-based training and VR archery—in improving arrow accuracy and speed, and to evaluate their implications for bow performance and technique assessment. Methods: A quantitative experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest approach was employed. The study involved 20 male archers aged 15-20 years, selected via purposive sampling. Participants underwent 18 training sessions using a fixed shooting distance of 40 meters. Data were collected on arrow accuracy and analyzed using paired and independent t-tests. Finding/Results: The study found that both training methods significantly improved archery accuracy. However, athletes who trained using the electric camera sensor showed slightly greater improvements than those using virtual reality. The sensor-based training provided more precise feedback on arrow speed and trajectory, which enhanced technique evaluation and led to better shooting outcomes. These results highlight the sensor’s potential as a more effective tool for refining archery performance. Conclusion: Fixed-distance training using an electric camera sensor system is more effective than virtual reality archery in enhancing archery accuracy. The integration of arrow speed motion sensors facilitates more precise evaluations of bow technique and performance, particularly when inconsistencies in arrow trajectory occur. It is recommended for archers seeking improvements in accuracy to incorporate electric camera sensor technology into their training.

Abstract

Background: Research on adolescent volleyball athletes is limited, especially regarding the acute effects of competition on physiological responses such as Blood Lactate Concentration (BLC), sprint performance, and Countermovement Jump (CMJ). This knowledge is important to improve recovery strategies and maintain performance. Research Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of pre- and post-volleyball matches on Blood Lactate Concentration (BLC), sprint performance, and Countermovement Jump (CMJ) in adolescent athletes. Methods: The research applied quasi-experimental research with a pretest-posttest without a control group design approach. Furthermore, the research series was carried out in two sessions. In the first session, all research subjects underwent initial tests and measurements in the form of anthropometry, HR, and VO₂ max. Meanwhile, in the second session, before they did three sets of match simulations, the subjects did lactate, sprint, and Countermovement Jump (CMJ) tests as pretest values. In addition, lactate, sprint, and CMJ data were taken at 0 hours and three hours after completing the match simulation to determine the posttest value. Finding and Results: During the match simulation, sprint ability, countermovement jump, and lactate concentration in volleyball athletes experienced significant changes. There was a significant change with an increasing trend in lactate concentration (p-value < 0.05) and a decrease in sprint and countermovement jump abilities (p-value < 0.05), as well as the opposite condition that occurred three hours after the match. Conclusion: Volleyball matches impose significant physiological and physical demands, with BLC normalising within three hours but sprint and CMJ requiring extended recovery. Tailored recovery strategies and high-moderate intensity training modifications are vital for optimising performance and managing fatigue. Future studies should explore individualised training and recovery protocols.

Abstract

Background: Maintaining excellent physical fitness not only enhances mental well-being but also fosters teachers' ingenuity and inventiveness in devising effective teaching strategies. A fit body will be able to increase concentration, which means a teacher can deliver learning material better and achieve goals. Consequently, pupils become more engaged and comprehend the instructional material more easily. Research Objectives: This study aims to determine the effect of rhythmic gymnastics and walking more than 7,500 steps per day for 8 weeks on fitness and BMI. Methods: The employed research method was quantitative research using a causal-associative approach. This study utilised 43 participants who met the following criteria: they were between the ages of 35 and 55, actively engaged as lecturers in the teacher professional education program (PPG) at Universitas Negeri Surabaya, and willing to participate in the study for a duration of 60 days, during which they would receive the given intervention. The intervention given was in the form of Indonesian teacher gymnastics with a composition of 2 minutes of warm-up, 11 minutes of core, and 2 minutes of cool-down. In addition to gymnastics, the intervention involved walking at least 7,500–8,000 steps per day, every day, for a duration of 8 weeks (60 days). For sample step control, samples are required to send a report of their daily steps that have been recorded through the Pedometer-SStep Counter App. Data analysis used paired t-tests and SPSS 23 software to assess the intervention's impact on body mass index and fitness. Findings and Results: The results showed that combined rhythmic gymnastics training (Indonesian Teachers Gymnastics) and walking more than 7,500 for 8 weeks can increase VO2 max (pre 28.68 11.37; post 32.08 13.26; p = 0.000), but did not significantly affect changes in BMI (pre 25.51 4.88; post 25.43 4.02; p = 0.760). Conclusion: Rhythmic gymnastics training and daily 7,500 steps of walking for 8 weeks can improve cardiorespiratory fitness in middle-aged professionals but may not alter BMI. This simple, accessible workplace health program can enhance cardiovascular fitness.

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: 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: Pencak silat, traditionally rooted in moral and spiritual education, has shifted toward a performance-driven orientation emphasizing medals and financial rewards. This transformation has contributed to concerns over youth moral decline, including reduced empathy and growing individualism. However, despite increasing attention to the role of sport in fostering life skills, little research has developed structured, value-based training models in pencak silat that intentionally incorporate Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) principles. Research Objectives: This study aimed to develop a Tapak Suci pencak silat training model from a Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) perspective, grounded in value-based education to foster athletes’ life skills. Methods: Employing the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model, 56 adolescent athletes were recruited and randomly assigned to experimental (n = 28) and control (n = 28) groups. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires, while model validity was assessed by five experts and five practitioners. Findings/Results: The developed training model demonstrated strong validity (CVR = 0.99), practicality across small-scale (76%), medium-scale (80%), and field trials (81%), and significant effectiveness. Independent t-test analysis revealed higher life skills scores in the experimental group (M = 146.36) compared to the control group (M = 125.79, p < 0.05). Conclusion: The findings highlight that a value-based pencak silat training model effectively enhances athletes’ life skills, particularly in emotional regulation, problem-solving, leadership, and respect. Further research is recommended to extend the application of value-based approaches to other martial arts and diverse training contexts.

Abstract

Background: Event quality plays an important role in determining participant satisfaction and motivation to participate in the future. While there is a wealth of research on sport event quality and participant satisfaction, little has specifically explored the experiences of female runners in the context of trail running. This study fills this gap by highlighting women’s perspectives on trail running events. Research Objectives: This study aims to analyse the effect of trail running event quality on female runners' satisfaction and motivation, focusing on the BDG 100 Ultra event in Bandung. Methods: Using a cross-sectional study approach and purposive sampling technique, this study involved 24 female runners who had previously participated in trail running events. Data were collected through questionnaires measuring event quality, satisfaction, and motivation. Linear regression analysis was used to predict the relationship between event quality and female runner satisfaction and motivation. Findings and Results: The results of the analysis showed that event quality had a significant effect on female runner satisfaction (r = 0.870, p < 0.01), but its effect on motivation was relatively weak (r = 0.398, p > 0.05). This suggests that while event quality increases satisfaction, female runners’ motivation is more intrinsic. Most female runners participate because of the personal experience and pride in completing the challenge, not just the quality of the event. Conclusion: Event quality contributes to satisfaction, but female runners’ motivation is more influenced by personal experience and achievement. This study enhances the understanding of motivation in sport, particularly in female runners, and recommends inclusive and supportive event design to increase participation and satisfaction.

Abstract

Background: Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) often occurs after intense physical activity and can limit subsequent performance. While common recovery methods such as ice therapy, stretching, and anti-inflammatory medications are widely used, they may not always be effective or free of side effects. Massage therapy—particularly the petrissage technique—offers a promising alternative by improving blood circulation, reducing muscle tension, and accelerating tissue recovery. Research Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of petrissage massage manipulation in reducing DOMS-related pain, offering a practical and non-invasive recovery method. Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was used. Participants experiencing DOMS were recruited from Klinik Satu Sehat. Pain levels were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test for normality and a paired sample t-test to examine the effect of the massage treatment. Finding/Results: The study found a 38.7% reduction in pain levels after applying petrissage massage, indicating a significant improvement in muscle recovery. This reduction reflects the positive impact of increased blood flow and muscle relaxation facilitated by the massage technique. Conclusion: Petrissage massage manipulation is an effective technique for alleviating DOMS pain. It enhances blood flow, reduces muscle stiffness, and supports faster tissue healing. Future studies are encouraged to test this method across different populations, such as trained athletes and sedentary individuals, to explore potential variations in its effectiveness.
