Abstract

Research Background: Aerobic endurance is important in soccer because the game requires high-intensity activity with quick recovery. However, training at the school level is often not based on a balanced scientific approach. Research Objectives: This study aims to analyze and compare the effects of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and the Game-Based Approach on aerobic endurance. Method: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. The sample consisted of 20 students participating in a soccer extracurricular program, divided into two groups and trained for 12 sessions. Aerobic endurance was measured using the Bleep test. Data were analyzed using paired and independent sample t-tests (α = 0.05). Results: Both training methods significantly improved aerobic endurance (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: HIIT and the Game-Based Approach are equally effective in improving aerobic endurance and can be applied based on students’ needs and characteristics.

Abstract

Research Background: The development of critical thinking skills is a central goal of 21st-century education and is emphasized in Indonesia’s Independent Curriculum. However, Physical Education (PE) in many elementary schools remains teacher-centred, limiting students’ opportunities for higher-order thinking. Research Objectives: This study examines the effectiveness of differentiated instruction integrated with slow-motion video and task cards in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills in Physical Education. Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was employed, involving 46 fifth-grade students selected through cluster random sampling. Participants were assigned to experimental and control groups. Critical thinking was measured using a validated 17-item questionnaire. The intervention, conducted over four sessions, combined slow-motion video analysis of basic basketball movements with differentiated task cards tailored to students’ readiness levels. Results: Results indicated a significant improvement in the experimental group (67.87 to 78.39) compared to the control group (68.78 to 71.13). Statistical analysis showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) with a large effect size (Cohen’s d ≈ 1.27). Conclusion: These findings suggest that integrating visual media with differentiated tasks effectively promotes student-centred learning and enhances critical thinking in PE.

Abstract

Research Background: Fluid deficiency or dehydration can negatively affect health and physical performance, including reduced blood volume and electrolyte imbalance. This condition may influence cardiovascular responses, particularly heart rate, during high-intensity physical activity. Therefore, maintaining fluid balance through the consumption of mineral water and electrolyte beverages is important to sustain performance and accelerate body recovery after physical activity. Research Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the differences in the effects of electrolyte fluids and mineral water on heart rate following high-intensity physical activity. Method: This study employed an experimental method with a two-group treatment design. The participants consisted of 18 sports students divided into two groups: the electrolyte fluid group and the mineral water group. Each group was given 240 ml of beverage before performing three repetitions of 400-meter running. Heart rate measurements were taken for 10 seconds after each 400-meter run session. Data were analyzed using a comparative test to determine differences in heart rate responses between the two groups. Results: The results showed differences in heart rate between the group consuming electrolyte fluids and the group consuming mineral water after three repetitions of 400-meter running. Based on the mean post-exercise heart rate values, the group consuming mineral water demonstrated lower heart rates compared to the group consuming electrolyte fluids. This finding indicates that heart rate recovery in the mineral water group occurred more rapidly. Conclusion: Mineral water was more effective than electrolyte fluids in supporting heart rate recovery after high-intensity physical activity. These findings suggest that mineral water consumption may serve as a better hydration strategy for accelerating cardiovascular recovery during high-intensity exercise.

Abstract

Research Background: This study addressed the limited evidence regarding the accuracy and consistency of smartphone-camera–based applications for monitoring barbell velocity during resistance training among youth athletes. Research Objectives: Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of the QWIK-VBT smartphone application in measuring barbell velocity during resistance training. Method: A total of 45 youth athletes participated in this study. Barbell velocity during the deadlift exercise was measured simultaneously using the QWIK-VBT application and a linear position transducer (GymAware) as the criterion device to assess validity. Reliability was evaluated through repeated measurement trials across different sessions. Data were analyzed using correlation and reliability statistics. Results: The results showed mixed findings regarding the validity of QWIK-VBT. The application demonstrated a low and non-significant correlation with GymAware measurements (r = .252, p = .258), indicating limited concurrent validity. However, QWIK-VBT exhibited strong reliability for peak average velocity measurements, with excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .931) and a high correlation coefficient (r = .875, p < .001). Conclusion: In conclusion, although QWIK-VBT cannot yet replace gold-standard devices for precise velocity measurement, the application offers a practical and cost-effective alternative for monitoring resistance training in applied sport settings. Nevertheless, coaches and athletes should interpret the results cautiously and consider device-specific validation before consistent implementation in training programs.

Abstract

Research Background: Interpersonal communication between coaches and athletes is important in supporting athlete development, motivation, discipline, and performance. In badminton training, effective communication can create a positive training environment and strengthen the relationship between coaches and athletes. Gender differences may also influence communication patterns, so coaches need to apply appropriate communication approaches. However, studies on interpersonal communication between male coaches and female athletes in badminton academies remain limited. Research Objectives: This study aims to determine how female athletes and male coaches at Irwan Badminton Academy foster interpersonal communication. Method: This research uses a qualitative, descriptive approach. The data gathering technique includes interviews, observations, and documentation. The participants in this research totalled 6, comprising 3 male coaches and 3 female athletes at the Irwan Badminton Academy Executive Board. Data analysis used in this study includes data reduction, data presentation, and data interpretation. Results: Positive interactions between coaches and athletes may help athletes develop their social skills and character. Open communication, empathy, and peer support are all skills that athletes will acquire that are useful outside of the athletic arena. This develops athletes into resilient, competitive people in addition to skilled players. Conclusion: Research at Irwan Badminton Academy shows that coaches' communication methods need to be tailored to the athlete's gender. Women athletes tend to require clear and direct instructions, delivered in a supportive manner. They are also more open to feedback, able to accept responsibility, and require a balance between discipline and emotional support. These findings imply that adaptive communication can help coaches optimally develop athletes' potential, create a positive training environment, and improve athletes' motivation and performance in competitions.

Abstract

Research Background: Cardiorespiratory fitness, commonly assessed through maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂max), is a key indicator of overall health and physical performance. Physical activity and body composition are considered important determinants of VO₂max; however, findings remain inconsistent, particularly among young, recreationally active populations. Research Objectives: This study aimed to examine the associations between physical activity (measured by daily step count) and body mass index (BMI) and VO₂max among recreationally active university students. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 53 male university students aged 18–21 years. Physical activity was assessed using daily step count recorded over five consecutive days, while VO₂max was estimated using the Multistage Fitness Test (MFT). BMI was calculated from measured body weight and height. Data normality was assessed using the Shapiro–Wilk test, and associations between variables were analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation. Results: A strong, statistically significant positive correlation was observed between mean daily step count and VO₂max (r = 0.831, p < 0.001). In contrast, no significant correlations were observed between BMI and step count (r = -0.063, p = 0.656) or between BMI and VO₂max (r = -0.064, p = 0.650). Conclusion: These findings indicate that habitual physical activity, as reflected by daily step count, is strongly associated with cardiorespiratory fitness, whereas BMI does not appear to be a significant determinant in this population. Promoting consistent daily movement may be an effective strategy to enhance aerobic fitness among young adults.

Abstract

Research Problems: Motor skills are an important factor in supporting the performance of petanque athletes who demand accuracy. The fine motor plays a role in setting the right direction and throwing. Meanwhile, the gross motor plays a role in supporting the body in balance during the throwing process. The difference in the level of mastery of these two motor skills is thought to have a relationship with shooting results. Research Objectives: This research examines the relationship between fine motor and gross motor skills and the shooting results of petanque athletes. Methods: Correlational quantitative research involving petanque athletes in Semarang City. Research instruments include the Ball Throw & Catch Test, Nine Hole Peg Test, handgrip Dynamometer Test, and Shooting Station Test. Data were analyzed using Multiple Linear Regression Analysis, F Test, t Test, and Linear Regression Equation. Results: Simultaneously, fine motor and gross motor skills are significantly related to petanque shooting results. However, only the fine motor was significantly related. Conclusion: Fine motor skills, such as hand-eye coordination and finger control, play a major role in determining shooting throw accuracy. Meanwhile, gross motor skills, such as arm muscle strength, strongest leg stability, and core muscle strength, function as supporting factors in maintaining movement stability, but are not directly related to the athlete's shooting results. This research suggests the need to focus training on improving fine motor skills without neglecting general physical condition training to support athlete performance.

Abstract

Research Problems: Shooting accuracy is a fundamental skill in petanque that determines an athlete’s success in removing the opponent’s ball from the playing area. Therefore, an effective training model is required to improve this ability, one of which is through barrier and non-barrier shooting training methods. Research Objectives: This study aimed to analyze and compare the effectiveness of barrier and non-barrier training models on improving ball-to-ball shooting accuracy at a distance of 8 meters in petanque athletes. Methods: This study employed an experimental method with a two-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 10 petanque athletes from Salatiga City, selected using a total sampling technique, and was divided into two treatment groups. The first group received non-barrier shooting training, while the second group received barrier-based shooting training at an 8-meter distance for four weeks. Data were collected through a ball-to-ball shooting accuracy test before and after the treatment and analyzed using a normality test, paired sample t-test, and independent sample t-test at a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results showed that the barrier training group improved from a mean score of 3.00 to 9.60 with a significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), while the non-barrier group improved from 2.00 to 6.00 with a significance value of 0.014 (p < 0.05). However, the independent sample t-test indicated no significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.058 > 0.05), although descriptively the barrier group showed higher performance. Conclusion: The barrier training model is more effective in improving ball-to-ball shooting accuracy at an 8-meter distance compared to the non-barrier training model. Therefore, barrier-based training is recommended to be implemented in training programs to enhance throwing accuracy and directional control in petanque athletes.
