Abstract

Understanding the significance of efficient post-exercise recovery methods in alleviating muscle damage and addressing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) among athletes following plyometric circuit training. The study aimed to determine the effect of dynamic stretching in water (active pool-based) and sports massage (SM) on muscle damage indices post-plyometric circuit training. A total of 30 participants were divided into three control groups and one experimental group, who were given two recovery protocols (APB + BCAA and sports massage) after the trial. Data were statistically analysed using a one-way ANOVA test with post-test measurements and a Bonferroni test (P < 0.05). It is concluded that statistically the APB + BCAA post-hoc test with SM did not show any significance. However, on average, APB + BCAA was preferable at reducing DOMS symptoms; measurements 3 and 4 in the intervention groups also showed a significant effect on the control group. The study findings underscore the valuable contribution of active recovery in water and the use of supplements in improving initial recovery outcomes after strenuous exercise or sports, aligning with the exercise recovery principle that highlights the inseparable relationship between nutrition and soft tissue modalities.

Abstract

The football goalkeeper position arguably represents a unique role in team sports. This research aimed to increase the reaction speed of football goalkeepers using a ball launcher. The research method was experimental using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research was conducted by applying reaction speed training using a ball launcher to measure and found out the results of the data obtained by researchers using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The research sample consisted of 20 students of the Department of Sports Coaching Education at Universitas Negeri Medan who specialised as football goalkeepers. The instrument used in data collection techniques was the Nelson Foot Reaction. The data analysis technique used was a t-test with a significance level of 0.05. The research results concluded that there was a significant effect of training using a ball launcher on the reaction speed of the goalkeeper. The results can be used as a basis for developing more effective and innovative training methods in the sport of football. In addition, the findings can provide guidance for coaches and researchers in developing relevant and efficient training methods. This study also opens the door for further research to explore the impact of reaction speed in actual match situations, which may yield further insights into the development of quality goalkeeping athletes.

Abstract

Background: Despite extensive research on biomechanical determinants of spike performance, evidence linking perceptual–kinaesthetic abilities to sport-specific execution remains limited. Objectives: This study examined the relationship between kinaesthetic perception and spike performance in volleyball. Methods: A correlational design was used with 40 male physical education students (non-elite players). Kinaesthetic perception was assessed using the Kinaesthetic Obstacle Test (KOT), and spike performance was evaluated through an on-court accuracy test. Pearson’s correlation was applied. Results: A significant positive relationship was found between kinaesthetic perception and spike performance (r = 0.614, p < 0.05). The coefficient of determination (r² = 0.377) indicates that kinaesthetic perception accounts for 37.7% of the variance in performance. Conclusion: Kinaesthetic perception is meaningfully related to spike performance, supporting its role in perceptual-motor integration during complex open skills. However, performance is multifactorial, and findings are limited to a non-elite sample. Future studies should incorporate additional physical and perceptual variables and employ designs that allow stronger inference.

Abstract

Background: Small-sided games (SSGs) provide a practical approach for developing basketball skills under game-like conditions. However, evidence comparing different SSG formats while considering players' hand–eye coordination remains limited. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effects of 2v2 and 4v4 SSGs on basketball passing accuracy according to players' hand–eye coordination levels. Methods: A quantitative experimental study using a 2 × 2 factorial design was conducted. Thirty-two male adolescent basketball players (14.00 ± 1.05 years) participated in a six-week training program consisting of 16 sessions, including a pretest, 14 treatment sessions, and a posttest. The participants were categorized according to high and low hand–eye coordination and assigned to 2v2 or 4v4 SSG training groups. Passing accuracy was assessed before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: SSG format significantly affected passing accuracy (p = .043), as did hand–eye coordination level (p = .029). A significant interaction was found between SSG format and hand–eye coordination (p = .006). Among players with high hand–eye coordination, passing accuracy differed significantly between the 2v2 and 4v4 groups (p = .001), whereas no significant difference was found among players with low hand–eye coordination (p = .540). Within the 2v2 format, passing accuracy differed significantly between players with high and low hand–eye coordination (p = .001), whereas no significant difference was observed within the 4v4 format (p = .630). Conclusion: The effects of SSG format on passing accuracy varied according to hand–eye coordination level. The 2v2 format may provide greater opportunities for passing and ball involvement, whereas the 4v4 format may be more suitable for players with lower hand–eye coordination.

Abstract

Background: Fencing requires rapid movement execution, precise technical performance, and timely corrective feedback. Conventional coaching practices often rely on subjective observation and delayed performance evaluation. Objectives: This study aimed to develop and preliminarily evaluate a sensor-based fencing coaching model integrating real-time performance feedback into training. Methods: A research and development design based on a modified Borg and Gall model was employed, comprising needs analysis, model design, expert validation, limited testing, revision, and extensive field testing. Five nationally licensed fencing coaches participated in expert validation, while 10 athletes participated in the limited trial and 30 athletes in the extensive trial. Performance was assessed using motion sensors and technical performance measures. Pre–post changes were examined using paired-samples t-tests and Cohen’s d. Results: The extensive trial showed significant pre–post improvements in attack execution time, punch accuracy, reaction time, and footwork efficiency (p < .05), with large effect sizes (Cohen’s d = 0.85–1.02). Athletes and coaches also reported high perceived usability and satisfaction with the model. Conclusion: The findings provide preliminary evidence that integrating real-time sensor-based feedback into fencing training may improve selected technical performance indicators and enhance the perceived usefulness of training. However, controlled and longer-term studies are needed to determine the causal effectiveness and generalizability of the model.

Abstract

Background: Gender differences in physical fitness are well documented in sports science; however, most studies rely on univariate statistical approaches and provide limited insight into multidimensional performance profiles. The application of multivariate and machine learning techniques in sport-specific contexts such as sepak takraw remains limited. Objectives: This study aims to analyse the differences in physical performance between male and female athletes. This study investigates the physical variables that differentiate male and female sepak takraw athletes using a quantitative ex post facto design. Methods: A total of 163 competitive sepak takraw athletes (81 male and 82 female). The sample consists of male and female athletes who underwent a series of physical measurements, including muscle strength, speed, endurance, and agility. Data analysis was conducted using an independent t-test to measure gender differences, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to explore the  data structure, and a random forest classifier to identify the variables most contributing to gender classification. Results: Significant gender differences were observed in Jump DF, Back Dynamometer, Sprint 30 m, and 1600 m Run (p < 0.01; d = 1.34-2.48). PCA revealed two dominant components (strength–power and endurance), while Random Forest identified back strength as the most influential classification variable (importance = 0.224). The composite index provided a simplified representation of multidimensional performance profiles. Conclusion: The integration of multivariate and machine learning approaches provides a more comprehensive understanding of physical performance profiles in sepak takraw. The proposed composite index offers a practical tool for simplifying complex fitness data and supporting evidence-based training strategies.

Abstract

Background: Match statistics provide objective information for evaluating badminton performance and developing evidence-based coaching strategies. However, limited studies have comprehensively examined the technical actions contributing to an elite player’s performance throughout an entire tournament. Objectives: This study aimed to analyse the effectiveness of technical actions performed by Anthony Sinisuka Ginting during the VICTOR China Open 2018 HSBC BWF World Tour Super 1000, focusing on point-winning and point-losing outcomes. Methods: This study employed a quantitative observational design using systematic notational analysis. Performance data were obtained from official Badminton World Federation (BWF) match videos covering all four matches played by Anthony Sinisuka Ginting from the Round of 16 to the final, comprising 10 sets with a mean set duration of 26.1 minutes. Each match was systematically coded using a structured observation instrument to record service, netting, smash, drive, dropshot, lob, chop, defend, and lift actions. Technical actions were classified according to successful and unsuccessful outcomes, and the data were analysed descriptively using frequencies and percentages. Results: The smash generated the highest number of points, with an average success rate of 57.0% and an unforced error rate of 14.6%. In contrast, netting showed the highest proportion of successful actions but also the highest unforced error rate (26.7%). This pattern indicates that netting involved a greater balance between successful and unsuccessful outcomes than the other technical actions analysed. Conclusions: The findings demonstrate that technical performance in elite badminton is characterised by differences in point production and error patterns across technical actions. The results provide an athlete-centred perspective on elite badminton performance and offer practical evidence for coaches when evaluating match performance and designing technical and tactical training programmes.

Abstract

Background: Community sport has increasingly been examined in relation to physical activity, youth development, social inclusion, health, and public policy. However, the global intellectual and thematic development of research on community sport development remains insufficiently mapped. Objectives: This study aims to map and analyse global research trends, collaboration patterns, and thematic developments in community sports development between 2016 and 2025. Methods: This study examined 408 journal articles on community sports development that were published between 2016 and 2025 using a bibliometric analysis based on Scopus. ScientoPy and Biblioshiny (Bibliometrix) were used to analyse bibliographic data obtained just from the Scopus database in order to look at publishing trends, cooperation networks, citation patterns, keyword co-occurrence, and topic progression. Results: There were 408 articles in the dataset, with a 5% yearly growth rate and a high of 54 publications in 2025. Sport (174 articles), physical activity (126), and sports involvement (89) were the most popular terms. In 2024-2025, most recent studies focused on youth-related concerns (> 35%), well-being (50.0%), and mental health (55.6%). Four clusters encompassing social integration and capital, youth development and sport participation, mental health and talent development, and emergent issues including community sport and disabilities were found using thematic mapping. Conclusions: Research on community sport development has become increasingly interdisciplinary, with sport participation increasingly connected to broader social, health, educational, and policy outcomes. Future research should strengthen longitudinal, comparative, and program-evaluation approaches to determine whether the themes identified in the bibliometric landscape translate into measurable community-level outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Central midfielders (CMs) have essential roles in modern soccer as a connector between the attacking and defensive lines, maintaining game tempo, ball circulation, and supporting team organisation during transition. However, limited evidence about the physical and technical performance of CMs in teams from different ranks is scarce, especially in non-European leagues. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the physical and technical performance of CMs from high-, middle-, and low-ranked teams in Liga 1 Indonesia. Methods: 381 match observations from 34 CMs were analysed using the Kruskal–Wallis test with Bonferroni post hoc comparisons and ordinal eta-squared to estimate the effect size. Results: All variables, except progressive passes, showed significant differences. The largest effect size was observed for acceleration, and the medium effect size for deceleration, confirming that explosive actions were the strongest discriminators between CMs across ranking levels. Significant others' variables displayed small effect sizes (total distance, high-intensity running distance, pass accuracy, successful passes, short passes, medium passes, and long passes). The highest values of acceleration, deceleration, high-intensity running distance, pass accuracy, successful passes, and short passes were observed in the high-ranked CMs. Conclusion: CMs’ technical and physical performance differs by team ranking, with high-ranked CMs characterised by greater explosive movement and accurate short-passing circulation. The results give useful reference points for developing CM in Indonesia. This study was limited to a single season within one league and didn’t take into account other contextual factors. Future research should consider contextual factors in the analysis.

Abstract

Background: Physical condition, workload, and fatigue are important considerations among workers engaged in repetitive and physically demanding activities. However, practical mobile-based systems integrating these indicators into a single assessment workflow remain limited. Objectives: This study aimed to develop and preliminarily evaluate a mobile-based assessment system for BMI, perceived workload, and subjective fatigue and examine their associations among industrial workers. Methods: A research and development design using the ADDIE framework was followed by a cross-sectional evaluation of 77 industrial workers recruited through convenience sampling. The application assessed BMI, perceived workload, and subjective fatigue using the Fatigue Assessment Scale. Associations among variables were examined using Pearson's chi-square test and Cramér's V. Results: The application demonstrated favorable preliminary expert and user evaluations, with scores of 87.11% for material validity, 92.90% for media validity, and 91.58% for user practicality. Among 77 workers, 51.9% reported moderate workload and 35.1% had high fatigue. Perceived workload was significantly associated with subjective fatigue, whereas BMI was not. High fatigue was more prevalent among workers with high workload (56.0%) than low workload (8.3%) and among those with obesity (62.5%) than normal BMI (25.0%). Conclusion: The developed mobile-based system provides an integrated digital workflow for assessing BMI, perceived workload, and subjective fatigue and demonstrated favorable preliminary expert and user evaluations. The observed distribution of fatigue across workload and BMI categories warrants further investigation using larger samples, longitudinal designs, objective physiological measures, and standardized usability assessments.
