Abstract

Background: The importance of this research lies in preparing handball players with enhanced physical and skill capabilities through modern methods such as competitive plyometric training. The study was motivated by observed performance inconsistencies among Iraqi handball teams, particularly a decline in players' physical and technical execution toward the end of matches. This issue is attributed to the use of traditional training programs, which fail to develop the players’ physical fitness and technical performance adequately.  Objective: This study examines the effects of competitive plyometric training on handball players' speed, strength, and defensive skills. Methods: The research was driven by the observation that many teams in the Iraqi Handball League exhibit performance decline toward the end of matches, which is attributed to inadequate physical and skill preparation under traditional training programs. An experimental design was used, involving 18 young male players from the Karbala Handball Club, divided randomly into experimental and control groups. The experimental group followed an 8-week competitive plyometric training program, while the control group continued with standard training. Result: Results showed significant improvements in the experimental group's speed-strength and defensive skills compared to the control group. Conclusion: In conclusion, competitive plyometric training effectively enhances physical and skill performance in handball players and is recommended as part of structured training programs. It is recommended that future research explore the long-term effects of competitive plyometric training across different age groups and levels of play, to determine its applicability and sustainability in improving athletic performance.

Abstract

Background: Pencak silat, as a competitive sport, has a high risk of injury. However, data on its characteristics and causative factors during pre-match and matches in East Java are still limited. Objective: This study aims to identify the characteristics and incidence of injuries in adult sparring category pencak silat athletes in East Java during training and matches. Methods: Using a quantitative descriptive method with a cross-sectional survey approach. Data were collected through a survey distributed to 100 athletes (61 men and 31 women) aged 17-22 years from 11 cities/districts in East Java, including information on injury characteristics and causal factors. Result: The results showed that the most dominant injuries that occurred during pre-match were blisters on the fingers (32%), bruises on the arms (38%), sprains on the lower legs (26%), and sprains on the ankles (33%), the leading causes were technical errors, lack of warm-up, and lack of facilities and infrastructure. During matches, the most common injuries were lower limb bruises (48%), ankle sprains (29%), and head/face abrasions (12%), which were caused by punching power, technical errors, and takedowns. While serious injuries such as dislocations and fractures had a low percentage, they had a significant impact on the athletes' performance. Conclusion: Overall, the findings suggest that the lower extremities are more susceptible to injury. The types of injuries varied, ranging from minor to severe. Initial treatment for minor injuries typically involves the RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) method, whereas severe injuries require further medical attention to prevent serious complications.

Abstract

Physical activity and screen time influence many adolescent' fitness problems. This research aims to determine the relationship between screen time and physical activity on adolescent students' cardio-respiratory endurance (VO2max). This research used observational analysis with a cross-sectional study involving 70 teenage students at an Information and Network Technology Vocational School consisting of male and female teenage students. The Screen Time of Adolescents (QUEST) questionnaire was used to assess screen time, the physical activity instrument used the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ v2.0) to assess physical activity levels, and the VO2max instrument used the 20-meter Multistage Fitness Test (MFT). The data analysis technique uses the Pearson correlation test and continues with linear regression using the IBM SPSS statistics 25 application. This analysis is used to determine how significant the relationship between variables. Physical activity has a significant relationship with VO2max (p<0.05), while screen time does not have a direct relationship with VO2max (p>0.05). However, research shows that physical activity and screen time influence VO2max in adolescent students (p<0,05). Physical activity is related to Vo2max, while screen time has no relationship. However, screen time and physical activity simultaneously show a significant relationship. This study makes an important contribution to the understanding of the relationship between modern lifestyle and cardio-respiratory fitness.

Abstract

Background: Suboptimal health status (SHS) refers to the transitional period between health and illness, characterized by unexplained symptoms and premature changes in functional status without a known medical diagnosis. Objective: The aim is to examine how often SHS occurs and how lifestyle factors influence both SHS and the academic success of medical students. Methods: A Cross-sectional survey was conducted from February 2024 to September 2024 with first- to fifth-year medical students from four randomly chosen medical colleges in Punjab, Pakistan. The Suboptimal Health Measurement Scale (SHMS V1.0), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Health-Promoting Lifestyle Scale (HPLS) were used to obtain data. The findings were analyzed using independent t-tests, chi-squared tests, and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Result: Among the 1,028 respondents, 55.4% (570) were classified as healthy and 44.6% (458) as having SHS. Higher levels of physical activity (p < 0.001; OR = 0.87; 95%CI = 0.82–0.92), healthier sleep patterns (p < 0.001; OR = 0.92; 95%CI = 0.89-0.94), and better dietary habits (p = 0.003; OR = 0.95; 95%CI = 0.93-0.97) were negatively associated with SHS. In contrast, increased screen exposure (p = 0.012, OR = 1.03; 95%CI = 1.01-1.06), weight loss (p = 0.001, OR = 1.07; 95%CI = 1.02-1.11), tobacco use (p = 0.028, OR = 1.10; 95%CI = 1.02-1.18), and alcohol consumption (p < 0.001, OR = 1.95; 95%CI = 1.74-2.26) were positively associated with SHS. Students with lower academic performance (GPA < 3.0) also demonstrated higher SHS rates. Conclusion: SHS is common among medical students and is associated with unhealthy lifestyle habits and low academic performance.

Abstract

Background: Research on undergraduate students in Physical Education (PE) and Health particularly in Indonesia and the Global South has predominantly relied on quantitative indicators, often neglecting students’ lived, embodied, and emotional experiences within demanding academic and physical environments. Objective: This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of Indonesian undergraduate students enrolled in PE and Health programs and to examine how these experiences can inform more responsive and inclusive educational practices. Methods: A qualitative participatory design was employed using photovoice. Eight undergraduate students documented their academic and personal experiences through photography over a two-week period, followed by reflective writing and focus group discussions. Data were analyzed thematically through collaborative coding, guided by experiential learning principles. Result: Three central themes emerged. First, Balancing Academic and Physical Demands revealed a dual burden of physical exhaustion and academic discipline. Second, Identity, Belonging, and Community highlighted the vital role of peer, family, and social support in sustaining motivation and resilience. Third, Navigating Uncertainty and Emotional Pressure reflected students’ anxieties related to career prospects, professional readiness, and structural constraints within the field of physical education. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that photovoice effectively captures nuanced student experiences often overlooked by conventional approaches, while simultaneously fostering reflection and empowerment. Engaging students as co-constructors of knowledge offers valuable insights for developing more student-centered, supportive, and inclusive learning environments in Physical Education and Health programs.

Abstract

Background: Hamstring strength imbalance between the left and right sides has been identified as a factor contributing to increased injury risk in athletes. However, few studies have evaluated not only bilateral strength differences but also the magnitude of clinically significant imbalances in various hamstring strength parameters. Objective: This study aims to analyze bilateral hamstring muscle asymmetry in terms of maximum, average, and maximum impulse strength, and to evaluate whether the distribution of high imbalances reaches clinically relevant thresholds associated with potential injury risk. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional observational study. Twenty athletes (n = 20) underwent hamstring strength measurements using the NordBord Hamstring Testing System. The parameters analyzed included maximum force, average force, and maximum impulse on the left and right sides. Normality was assessed using the Shapiro–Wilk test. Bilateral comparisons were analyzed using paired t-tests or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, depending on data distribution, and accompanied by effect size calculations (Cohen's d). Imbalance (%) was calculated for each parameter and classified into low-, moderate-, and high-risk categories. Risk category distribution was analyzed using a binomial test with a clinical reference value of 20%. Result: There were significant bilateral differences in several hamstring strength parameters (p < 0.05) with moderate to large effect sizes. The imbalance analysis showed that the proportion of athletes with high max impulse imbalance (45%) was significantly higher than the clinical threshold (p = 0.010). Conversely, the proportion of high imbalance in maximum force and average force did not differ significantly from the clinical reference value (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Although bilateral hamstring strength differences were found, only maximum impulse imbalance showed clinically relevant significance regarding potential injury risk. These findings emphasize the importance of including impulse analysis, in addition to force, in hamstring injury risk screening using NordBord.
