Abstract

Background: The application of game models in badminton for young athletes is considered very appropriate. Game models incorporate training elements suitable for young athletes, who are still in a developmental stage that requires play, so that training can be maximized, as athletes feel more relaxed and have more fun in the program. Aims: The research aims to examine the effectiveness of the game model in improving young athletes' badminton skills. Methods: This study used a quantitative descriptive quasi-experimental design. The research design used in this study was “The One Group Pretest Posttest Design” with no control group. Results: The Wilcoxon test in Table 3 above shows that the pretest and posttest scores for badminton skills were significantly different (p < 0.05). Thus, the game model is efficacious in improving athletes' badminton skills. Conclusion: The game model applied in this study demonstrates high effectiveness in improving young athletes' badminton skills. Therefore, the researcher recommends using a game-based training model to improve young athletes' badminton skills. Implementing game-based training models can significantly enhance the development of young badminton athletes. By integrating play-oriented activities into training, coaches can create a more engaging and motivating environment that aligns with children's developmental needs. This approach not only improves technical and tactical skills in badminton but also promotes enjoyment, reduces training stress, and fosters long-term athlete participation.

Abstract

Background: This study examined the level of mindfulness and its relationship with psychological well-being among gifted student-athletes in Jordan, in light of the growing interest in the psychological role of mindfulness in supporting academic and athletic performance, as well as emotional balance, among this population. Aims: The study aimed to identify levels of mindfulness and psychological well-being among gifted student-athletes, to explore the nature of the relationship between these two variables, and to examine whether statistically significant differences in psychological well-being exist by gender. Methods: The study sample consisted of 145 male and female gifted student-athletes, selected using simple random sampling. Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale – Short Form was employed. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods, including means and standard deviations, tests of difference, and correlation coefficients. Results: The findings indicated moderate levels of mindfulness (M = 3.22, SD = 0.35) and psychological well-being (M = 3.17, SD = 0.54). No statistically significant gender differences in psychological well-being were found (p > 0.05). In contrast, a strong, positive, and statistically significant correlation was identified between mindfulness and psychological well-being. Conclusion: The results highlight the practical value of integrating mindfulness-based training programs within educational and athletic environments for gifted students, as these programs enhance emotional balance, psychological resilience, and athletic performance. The study also provides a theoretical contribution by clarifying the relationship between mindfulness and psychological well-being within the Arab context, thereby supporting the development of evidence-based educational and athletic practices.

Abstract

Background: Rural areas face persistent challenges in promoting regular sports participation due to demographic ageing, limited infrastructure, and uneven access to organized programs. These constraints may affect not only population-level physical activity but also the training environments available to athletes and coaches in small rural municipalities. Aims: This study analyzes sports habits, motivations, barriers, and the availability of sports facilities in three rural municipalities in southern Spain, examining how local infrastructural and organizational conditions shape participation patterns and adherence to sport. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive design was employed involving 289 residents from Cumbres Mayores, Cumbres de San Bartolomé, and Cumbres de Enmedio, selected through a non-probabilistic snowball sampling technique. Data were collected using an adapted questionnaire based on the Spanish Survey of Sports Habits, consisting of items on sports participation frequency, motivations, perceived barriers, and assessment of local sports facilities. The questionnaire demonstrated adequate content validity through expert judgment and high internal reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.86). Data were analyzed using descriptive and comparative statistical procedures, including frequencies and percentages, to identify inter-municipal patterns. Result: The findings reveal apparent inter-municipal differences in sustained sports participation and perceived facility adequacy. More than one-third of respondents reported not engaging in regular physical activity, while insufficient or poorly maintained facilities were identified as a key barrier by over 30% of inactive participants. Approximately 40% indicated having practiced sport in the past but no longer do so, particularly in the smallest municipality, suggesting adherence challenges rather than a lack of initial interest. Gender-related disparities were also observed, mainly associated with time constraints and limited program availability among women. Notably, over 70% of participants expressed willingness to resume or increase participation if access to facilities and guided programs improved. Conclusion: Sports participation in small rural contexts depends not only on individual motivation but also on the availability, accessibility, and activation of local sports infrastructure. For athletes and coaches, these conditions directly affect training continuity, program viability, and development opportunities. The results support the need for context-sensitive sports planning that integrates infrastructure improvement, supervised training, and community engagement to promote sustainable training environments in rural areas.

Abstract

Background: Emotional management is a key psychological factor influencing futsal performance, but available measurement instruments are still general in nature, lack sport-specific validation, and have not been tested on Indonesian futsal athletes. Aims: This study seeks to rigorously validate and confirm the factor structure of an emotional management instrument designed explicitly for Indonesian futsal athletes, thereby strengthening its scientific and contextual relevance calculations with CFA. Methods:  Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed on data from 438 athletes recruited through incidental sampling across multiple regions in Indonesia. The emotional management instrument comprised 23 items that had previously undergone rigorous content validation by experts, including psychologists, national-level futsal coaches, and sport science academics. Model fit indices, convergent validity, and internal consistency reliability were systematically evaluated to ensure the robustness of the measurement model. Results: The five-factor model demonstrated excellent fit to the data (e.g., CFI > .95, TLI > .95, RMSEA < .06, SRMR < .08). All factors had AVEs above 0.50, indicating strong convergent validity. Reliability indices were high, with McDonald's ω and Cronbach's α exceeding .70 for all factors. Conclusion: The results indicate that the emotional management instrument demonstrates satisfactory validity, reliability, and structural integrity for application among Indonesian futsal athletes, thereby providing a robust framework for psychological assessment and supporting future research, talent development, and mental training programs.
