Abstract

Youth sports, particularly football, play a significant role in promoting both physical fitness and psychological well-being among young individuals. This study aims to examine the integration of physical activity and mental well-being within youth football training programs using a qualitative descriptive approach based on a review of peer-reviewed international journals published between 2021 and 2025. The findings indicate that structured football training not only improves physical attributes such as endurance, strength, and coordination but also enhances emotional regulation, self-confidence, and social interaction among youth athletes. In addition, the incorporation of psychological components, including goal setting, intrinsic motivation, and mindfulness practices, has been shown to increase athlete engagement while reducing stress, anxiety, and burnout. The study further emphasizes the importance of adopting athlete-centered coaching approaches that prioritize enjoyment, personal development, and mental resilience alongside performance outcomes. The integration of physical and psychological training is therefore essential in creating a balanced and sustainable sports environment for young athletes. In conclusion, embedding mental well-being into football training provides a comprehensive framework for developing healthier, more adaptive, and resilient youth athletes, offering important implications for coaches, educators, and policymakers in designing effective youth sports programs.

Abstract

Background: forehand stroke is a fundamental technique in table tennis; however, initial observations of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Gorontalo revealed their ability toperform this technique was still low. Of the 30 students participating in the learning process, only 13 students (43%) demonstrated adequate proficiency, while 17 students (57%) were still unable to perform the technique correctly. Objective: This study aimed to improve students’ learning outcomes in performing forehand strokes through the use of wall media in Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) learning. Method: This research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) method conducted in two cycles involving 30 eighth-grade students (15 male and 15 female). The procedures included planning, action implementation, observation, evaluation, and reflection in each cycle. Results: The findings showed a significant improvement in student learning outcomes. In cycle I, 19 students (70%) achieved learning mastery, while 11 students (30%) had not yet achieved mastery. In cycle II, the improvement became more significant, with 27 students (90%) achieving mastery and only 3 students (10%) remaining incomplete. Conclusion: These results indicate that the use of wall media in table tennis learning effectively improves students’ forehand stroke skills and helps achieve the classical mastery criterion 80%.

Abstract

This study aims to determine and describe the anxiety levels of karate athletes at the National Talented Athlete Development Center (SPOBNAS) Gorontalo before competing. Anxiety is a psychological factor that can affect an athlete's performance in competitive sports, especially in karate, which demands physical, technical, tactical, and mental readiness. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach to gain an in-depth understanding of the psychological conditions of athletes before competition. The subjects were 5 active karate athletes at SPOBNAS Gorontalo. Data collection was conducted through the Sport Competitive Anxiety Test (SCAT) questionnaire to determine initial anxiety levels, followed by interviews to explore the athletes' experiences and feelings in more detail. Interviews also aimed to strengthen the research results to make them more comprehensive. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that most athletes had moderate anxiety levels, with 60% in the moderate category and 40% in the low category. These findings indicate that athletes' anxiety before competition is still within normal limits and is not dominated by high anxiety. Therefore, athletes are advised to participate in structured mental training to maintain psychological stability and improve their readiness for competition.

Abstract

The development of passing skill in youth soccer requires feedback that is specific, timely, and easy for players to understand. Grassroots soccer schools often rely primarily on verbal correction, whereas low-cost video-based feedback models that combine visual review, technique rubrics, and weekly monitoring remain insufficiently examined in applied Indonesian youth contexts. This pilot quasi-experimental study examined changes in passing accuracy, technical execution, test completion time, and learning motivation after a six-week smartphone-based video feedback program among 30 soccer school players aged 12-15 years. The intervention consisted of video recording from side and rear angles, brief coach feedback, individual reflection, and corrected passing drills. Passing accuracy increased from 59.34 ± 4.78% to 67.28 ± 7.55%, technique scores increased from 62.70 ± 6.37 to 72.90 ± 8.98, completion time decreased from 57.28 ± 3.90 s to 53.01 ± 5.68 s, and motivation scores increased from 3.22 ± 0.57 to 3.65 ± 0.75. Paired-sample tests showed statistically significant pre-post changes with moderate-to-large standardized effects. Because the study used a one-group design, the findings should be interpreted as preliminary associations rather than definitive causal evidence. The main contribution of this study is a practical feedback cycle that integrates smartphone video, an observable technique rubric, and short reflective targets for youth soccer coaching.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the dominance of teacher-centered approaches in physical education, which often result in low student engagement and limited opportunities for active participation. The purpose of this research was to analyze the effectiveness of the Student-Centered Learning (SCL) approach in improving the quality of physical education learning at Candipari Elementary School, Porong, Sidoarjo. This study employed a qualitative descriptive design involving one physical education teacher and students who participated directly in the learning process. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis followed the interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing to ensure systematic interpretation of the findings. The results indicate that the implementation of SCL increased student participation, learning enthusiasm, motor skills, and social interaction during physical education activities. Improvements were also identified in affective aspects, including discipline, responsibility, and sportsmanship. Although several challenges were encountered, particularly limited facilities and varying levels of teacher readiness, the approach remained effective in creating a more active and meaningful learning environment. The novelty of this study lies in its theoretical contribution: it extends constructivist accounts of SCL by demonstrating that student agency and meaning-making can be sustained even when material resources are constrained, showing that teacher facilitation skill, rather than facility adequacy, is the primary condition enabling active knowledge construction. This context, an elementary school with limited educational resources and diverse student abilities, has received limited attention in previous physical education research. The findings suggest that SCL can serve as an innovative and adaptable strategy for enhancing the quality of physical education learning in resource-constrained elementary schools

Abstract

Mastery of forehand and backhand strokes is fundamental to student success in table tennis, yet conventional teacher-centered instruction in Indonesian junior high schools often leaves psychomotor learning outcomes below the Minimum Completeness Criterion (KKM), largely because students are rarely given the opportunity to construct stroke technique through guided exploration rather than rote demonstration. This classroom action research examined whether the Discovery Learning method could improve forehand and backhand stroke learning outcomes among 15 eighth-grade students (Class VIII B) at SMP Negeri 1 Kabila, Gorontalo, Indonesia. Using a two-cycle Kemmis and McTaggart design comprising planning, action, observation, and reflection, data were collected through practical skill tests, observation sheets, and documentation, and analyzed descriptively-quantitatively against the KKM. Results showed the mean backhand score rose from 56.81 (13.33% completeness) in Cycle I to 85.22 (100% completeness) in Cycle II, while the mean forehand score rose from 68.76 (33.33% completeness) to 86.42 (100% completeness), corresponding to normalized gains of 0.66 and 0.57, respectively. The novelty of this study lies in demonstrating that structured, teacher-scaffolded discovery cycles, rather than unassisted exploration, can rapidly close the completeness gap in a resource-limited junior high school setting. These findings confirm that Discovery Learning is an effective and replicable alternative for teaching table tennis stroke technique in physical education.

Abstract

The psychological demands of international competition are immense, yet there is a lack of comprehensive research investigating the specific interaction between trait resilience and state anxiety during high-stakes events. While physical skills are often equalized at the elite level, the mental mechanisms that determine success remain under-explored. This study aims to investigate how psychological resilience mediates competitive anxiety and affects overall performance outcomes. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the researchers analyzed data from 250 elite athletes across multiple disciplines using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and physiological stress markers. The findings reveal a significant inverse correlation between resilience levels and cognitive anxiety, suggesting that high-resilience athletes maintain superior executive function under pressure. This research introduces a novel "Resilience-Performance Paradox" model, which explains why certain athletes thrive specifically during peak stress conditions. We are confident that these results provide a robust foundation for the implementation of mandatory psychological resilience protocols in national sports programs, ensuring that athletes are mentally equipped for the rigors of global competition.

Abstract

Introduction: This research is driven by a identified research gap, specifically the low level of understanding and technical mastery among elementary school students regarding the forehand smash in table tennis. The urgency lies in providing a systematic and engaging alternative for Physical Education teachers to improve students' basic skills. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a forehand smash learning model at SD Negeri 07 Talaga Jaya. Methods: Using the Research and Development (RD) approach with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation), data were collected through observations, interviews, and validation questionnaires from material and pedagogical experts. Results: The findings revealed that the developed model, featuring a visual instructional guidebook, was declared "Highly Feasible" with an average expert validation score of 4. Small and large-scale trials showed significant improvements in students' cognitive and psychomotor outcomes. Discussion: The novelty of this research is the integration of visual-based learning modified specifically for the physical and psychological characteristics of elementary students. The researcher is confident that the broad implementation of this model will significantly enhance teacher creativity and students' technical skills in table tennis.

Abstract

Junior athlete development is a primary determinant of achievement in competitive tennis, yet the effectiveness of privately managed academies in Indonesia has rarely been examined using a comprehensive program-evaluation framework. This study analyzed the junior tennis development program at Azwa Tennis Academy (ATA), the first tennis academy in Gorontalo Province, using Stufflebeam's Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) evaluation model. A mixed-methods design combined a Likert-scale questionnaire with observation, interviews, and documentation, involving the entire population of 34 stakeholders (15 athletes, 4 coaches, 10 parents, and 5 management staff) selected through total sampling. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively using mean scores and percentage distribution, while qualitative data from interviews and observation were used to substantiate the numerical findings. The results show that 70.6% of respondents rated the context component as very good, reflecting a clear alignment between the academy's objectives and its developmental program; 70.6% rated the input component as very good, supported by adequate athletes, coaches, and facilities despite a shortage of training balls; 55.9% rated the process component as good, characterized by regular but short-term, weekly-structured training; and 61.8% rated the product component as very good, evidenced by athletes' achievements in regional and inter-regional tournaments, although national-level achievement has not yet been attained. The novelty of this study lies in applying the CIPP model to an independently managed, non-government-affiliated sports club, showing that community-based academies can achieve strong contextual and product outcomes despite limited institutional supervision. The findings imply that ATA's sustainability depends on developing a structured long-term training program, diversifying training methods, and strengthening facility support and government partnership.
