Abstract

Sport has an important role in strengthening social relationships amid the increasing individualism and fragmentation of modern society. In this context, this research was conducted to examine how sport contributes to the formation of social solidarity and community integration. The main objective of this study is to identify the social mechanisms formed through sports activities and understand their relevance to the development of social cohesion of the community. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method which refers to the PRISMA guidelines, by analyzing ten scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025. Data was obtained through a systematic selection from Google Scholar, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases, then analyzed using a thematic approach. The results of the study show that sports function as a means of forming social solidarity, a medium for cross-social and cultural integration, as well as a forum for the formation of social capital and collective identity. Sports activities have been proven to strengthen a sense of community, trust, and inclusive values that support social cohesion. In conclusion, sport has great potential as a social instrument to strengthen community integration and build harmonious communities. Further research is suggested using empirical and longitudinal approaches to measure the long-term impact of sport on social solidarity.

Abstract

Student mental health is an important concern, including for physical education students who are required to have a balance between physical and psychological. This study aims to systematically analyze the relationship between physical activity and mental health of physical education students based on the results of previous research. The method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on the PRISMA guidelines. Data was obtained from Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, ResearchGate, and SINTA with a publication period of 2018–2025. Of the 126 articles found, 12 met the criteria and were analyzed using CASP and JBI guidelines. The results of the study show that physical activity plays an important role in improving students' mental health, especially in reducing stress, improving psychological well-being, controlling emotions, and preventing depression. In addition, physical activity also supports the formation of character, confidence, and positive social relationships between students. These findings confirm that physical education not only focuses on learning motor skills, but also plays an important role in strengthening character and emotional balance. Thus, physical activity contributes greatly to the mental well-being of physical education students, so universities need to develop structured sports programs to support students' mental health.

Abstract

The tactical approach in football has evolved significantly over the past decades, with high pressing and defensive strategies representing two fundamental paradigms in match performance. This research aims to compare the effectiveness of high pressing versus defensive strategies in addressing opponent attacks through a comprehensive analysis of tactical implementations. The study employed a quantitative approach analyzing 120 professional football matches from the 2022-2023 season, incorporating tactical metrics including ball recovery rate, defensive success percentage, goal conceding rate, and offensive transition effectiveness. Data were collected from video analysis and official match statistics, with statistical comparisons conducted using independent t-tests and correlation analyses. Results demonstrated that high pressing strategies achieved an average ball recovery rate of 68.4% in the opponent's half, with 58.2% defensive success rate, although they exhibited a higher defensive vulnerability at an average of 1.8 goals conceded per match. Conversely, defensive strategies recorded a lower ball recovery rate of 42.1% but achieved superior defensive stability with 1.2 goals conceded per match and 75.6% defensive success rate. However, defensive approaches demonstrated reduced offensive transition opportunities (3.4 per match versus 7.6 for high pressing). The findings suggest that high pressing strategies facilitate greater attacking opportunities and ball possession control but require exceptional defensive organization to minimize counter-attack risks. Defensive strategies provide tactical stability and defensive security but potentially limit offensive opportunities. The effectiveness of either strategy appears context-dependent, influenced by squad composition, opponent characteristics, and match situational factors. This research contributes to understanding how tactical strategic choices impact match outcomes and provides evidence-based recommendations for tactical implementation based on specific competitive contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates the comparative effectiveness of AI-assisted self-learning and conventional demonstration methods in improving the quality of martial arts technique execution among university students. This quasi-experimental classroom study involved 120 students divided into two groups: an experimental group using AI-assisted learning platforms and a control group receiving conventional instructor-led demonstrations. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test assessments using validated rubrics measuring technique accuracy, movement fluidity, speed, and power execution. Independent t-tests and repeated measures ANOVA were employed for statistical analysis. Results demonstrated that the AI-assisted self-learning group achieved significantly higher improvements in technique execution quality (M = 28.45, SD = 4.12) compared to the conventional demonstration group (M = 23.67, SD = 5.38), t(118) = 4.52, p < 0.001, with a large effect size (d = 0.95). Furthermore, the AI group showed greater consistency in performance maintenance across multiple trials. These findings suggest that AI-assisted learning provides personalized feedback mechanisms and repetitive practice opportunities that facilitate superior skill acquisition in martial arts training. The study concludes that integrating AI technology into martial arts pedagogy can complement traditional instruction methods and enhance student learning outcomes.

Abstract

Footwork patterns play a critical role in athletic performance, particularly in sports requiring rapid directional changes and agility. This single-case A-B experimental design study investigated the effectiveness of artificial intelligence-based footwork pattern detection systems in improving response time among athletes. The study involved one elite athlete participant engaged in a controlled environment over 12 weeks, comprising 6 weeks of baseline (A) assessment and 6 weeks of intervention (B) with AI-supported real-time feedback. Response time was measured using photographic timing systems, while footwork patterns were analyzed through computer vision algorithms. Results indicated a mean reduction in response time of 8.7% during the intervention phase compared to baseline, with visual analysis suggesting clinically meaningful improvement in pattern consistency. The findings suggest that AI-based footwork detection systems may serve as effective tools for enhancing athletic performance and response time through real-time biomechanical feedback. However, the single-case design limits generalizability, indicating the need for larger-scale studies to corroborate these findings. This research contributes to the growing literature on artificial intelligence applications in sports science and performance optimization.
