Abstract

Kepulauan Seribu possesses significant potential for developing diving tourism as a recreational sport with immense economic value. This study analyzes the potential, strategies, and models for developing creative economy-based diving tourism from a recreational sports perspective in the Thousand Islands. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with diving tourism stakeholders, recreational sports communities, policymakers, and documentation studies. The results reveal that diving tourism development relies on integrating creative economy sub-sectors, including dive guide services, digital content production, underwater photography, and experience based tourism packages. From a recreational sports perspective, diving tourism promotes physical activity, healthy lifestyles, and sustainable local business opportunities. However, challenges persist, such as limited instructor certification, inconsistent safety standards, suboptimal digital promotion, and environmental sustainability issues. This study recommends a pentahelix collaborative development model (government, academia, business, community, and media) to solidify the Thousand Islands as a premier diving destination within the sport tourism and creative economy frameworks. Ultimately, an integrated strategy empowers diving tourism to drive the local economy while fostering the sustainable development of recreational sports.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to develop a curriculum for extracurricular recreational activities for middle school students and to identify the curriculum's impact on reducing school-related stress among middle school students aged 13-15 years. The researcher used the experimental method with a two-group equivalent experimental design, as it suited the nature of the research problem. The research community consisted of middle school students aged 13-15 years at Al-Najat Girl Secondary School during the 2024-2025 academic year, totaling (237) students distributed across three grade levels as follows: first intermediate (77) students, second intermediate (91) students, and third intermediate (69) students. A random sample of (33) students from the second intermediate grade, section (B), was selected and divided into two groups (experimental and control), with (15) students in each group. Three students were excluded due to their lack of attendance. The researcher used a scale designed consisting of (55) items distributed across six domains. To achieve the research objectives, the researcher adopted the following procedures in preparing the curriculum for extracurricular recreational activities. The study selected extracurricular activities as a means of implementing the curriculum. Three days each week were designated, with each learning unit lasting 45 minutes. A curriculum consisting of 24 remedial learning units was developed over a two-month period. The researcher incorporated competitive exercises and employed a free performance method for students to execute the exercises and skills under the supervision of the research team and the researcher. The students completed the skills-based assignments. The most important conclusion reached was that the recreational activities curriculum developed by the researcher played a significant role in reducing school-related stress among the research sample.

Abstract

Resilience is a crucial psychological factor in competitive sports, directly relating to an athlete's ability to withstand and recover from competitive pressure. This study aims to analyze the influence of task mastery climate and the history of competitive defeat on the resilience of Taekwondo athletes in Magelang City. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The sample consisted of 30 Taekwondo athletes in Magelang City who actively participated in training programs and competitions, selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments included the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire (PMCSQ) to measure the task mastery climate and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) to evaluate athlete resilience. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicated that the task mastery climate had a positive and significant effect on athlete resilience (β = 0.47; p = 0.04). Conversely, the history of competitive defeat did not significantly influence athlete resilience (β = 0.12; p = 0.89). A simultaneous test revealed that both variables collectively did not exert a significant influence on athlete resilience (F = 2.86; p = 0.07). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.175 signifies that the research model explains 17.5% of the variance in athlete resilience. These findings confirm that psychosocial environmental factors, specifically the task mastery climate fostered during training, play a more consistent and pivotal role in shaping resilience compared to the mere experience of competitive defeat

Abstract

Bell's Palsy is a peripheral facial nerve palsy that causes unilateral weakness or paralysis of the facial muscles. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy in restoring facial motor function in Bell's Palsy patients. The study employed a case study design involving two Bell's Palsy patients who underwent acupuncture therapy at a sports health clinic in Merauke City. Both patients received 12 acupuncture sessions over six weeks (two sessions per week), with acupuncture points stimulated including ST4, ST6, ST7, GB14, BL2, GV26, and LI4. Facial function recovery was measured using the House-Brackmann Facial Grading System (HB-FGS) before and after the intervention. The first patient (male, 45 years, initial HB Grade IV) showed significant improvement to Grade II after 12 sessions. The second patient (female, 38 years, initial HB Grade III) achieved Grade I (normal) after 10 sessions. Both cases demonstrated that acupuncture is effective in accelerating facial function recovery in Bell's Palsy patients, with measurable improvements in HB-FGS scores, facial muscle strength, and facial expression symmetry. Acupuncture may be considered an effective complementary therapy modality in the management of Bell's Palsy.

Abstract

Caffeine is the most widely consumed stimulant compound globally and is well known for its ability to enhance alertness and reduce the perception of fatigue. In the context of sports and physical activity, caffeine has been identified as an effective ergogenic aid, improving both endurance and cognitive performance during intense exercise. This literature review aims to systematically evaluate the primary biochemical mechanisms of caffeine relevant to physical performance enhancement, particularly through its effects on the central nervous system and muscle metabolism. Biochemically, caffeine primarily functions by blocking adenosine receptors, thereby influencing neurotransmission and increasing sympathetic activity. Additionally, caffeine has been shown to affect energy substrate mobilization by enhancing lipolysis and sparing muscle glycogen. Interestingly, recent evidence suggests that caffeine also plays a role in muscle mass regulation through the activation of molecular pathways such as AMPK and mTOR. AMPK activation enhances metabolic efficiency and energy utilization, while mTOR is involved in protein synthesis and muscle hypertrophy, positioning caffeine as a potential candidate to support training adaptation and muscle mass maintenance. However, caffeine’s effectiveness is not uniform across individuals and may be influenced by various factors such as dosage, timing of consumption, type of exercise, as well as genetic and habitual factors. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of caffeine’s mechanisms of action is crucial for maximizing its benefits in supporting physical performance safely and effectively. This article summarizes the latest scientific findings providing physiological and molecular foundations regarding caffeine’s role in enhancing endurance and muscle mass, and offers insights for its application in sports and health practices.
