Abstract

Research Problems: Sports not only have a function to achieve ideal physical goals and victories, but also serve as a cultural arena that involves gender issues. However, research on gender and femininity in combat sports in Indonesia is still very limited. Research Objectives: This study aims to describe the construction of gender and the negotiation of femininity of female Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts combat athletes. Methods: The research method is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Data were obtained from semi-structured interviews with four female combat athletes, consisting of two amateur athletes and two professional athletes. The data were analyzed based on the reference of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. Results: The results obtained from this study are the description of forms of negotiation by female athletes based on four themes that define the study's scope. Conclusion: The conclusion of this paper is that female combat athletes negotiate the femininity and masculinity inherent in themselves. Female fighters do not completely reject feminine norms, but negotiate them through the integration of religiosity, morality, and professionalism. The bodies of female fighters become spaces where physical masculinity and cultural femininity do not negate each other, but coexist in a hybrid manner.

Abstract

Research Problems: Physical fitness is a fundamental component of health and athletic performance among physical education students. However, limited access to training equipment and facilities often restricts the implementation of effective resistance training programs. Bodyweight training has emerged as a practical and cost-effective alternative, yet empirical evidence regarding its effectiveness in improving multiple components of physical fitness among sports college students remains limited. Research Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of a circuit bodyweight training program on the physical fitness of sports college students by comparing changes in fitness outcomes between an experimental group and a control group. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design using a two-group pre-test–post-test approach. A total of 43 sports college students were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 22) and a control group (n = 21). The experimental group completed a circuit bodyweight training program consisting of eight exercises over 16 training sessions, while the control group followed regular physical activity. Physical fitness was assessed using a battery of tests, including body mass index (BMI), sit-and-reach, leg and back dynamometer, and the Cooper test. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with JASP statistical software. Results: The ANCOVA results demonstrated statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups following the intervention (p < .05). Participants who completed the circuit bodyweight training program showed greater improvements in overall physical fitness compared with those in the control group. These findings indicate that a structured bodyweight training program can effectively enhance physical fitness among sports college students. Conclusion: Circuit bodyweight training conducted over 16 sessions is an effective and economical approach for improving physical fitness in sports college students. The findings support the use of bodyweight exercises as an accessible resistance training strategy in physical education and sports settings, particularly where training facilities are limited. This study contributes to the growing evidence on low-cost exercise interventions and provides practical guidance for educators and coaches. Future studies should compare bodyweight training with other resistance training methods, such as multiple-set or free-weight training, over longer intervention periods and across different populations.

Abstract

Research Problems: Project-Based Learning integrated with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM-PjBL) has been widely recognized as an effective instructional approach for fostering higher-order thinking skills, particularly critical thinking. However, its application within Physical Education (PE) remains underexplored, and the current research landscape has not been comprehensively mapped. Research Objectives: This study aimed to identify research trends, collaboration patterns, conceptual structures, and research gaps related to STEM-integrated Project-Based Learning (STEM-PjBL) for enhancing critical thinking skills, with particular emphasis on its application in Physical Education, using a bibliometric approach. Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Dimensions database. Publications were retrieved using the search query ("STEM") AND ("Project-Based Learning" OR "PjBL") AND ("Critical Thinking") AND ("Physical Education"). The search was performed on April 21, 2026, covering publications from 2020 to 2026, and yielded 1,024 documents that met the inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using VOSviewer through performance analysis and science mapping techniques, including publication trend analysis, author and country collaboration networks, institutional productivity, keyword co-occurrence, density visualization, and overlay visualization. Results: The findings revealed a substantial increase in STEM-PjBL publications during the study period, with research predominantly concentrated in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology education. Collaboration network analysis indicated a semi-fragmented research structure, with the United States and Indonesia emerging as the most influential contributors. Keyword co-occurrence analysis identified four major research clusters: learning evaluation, teacher professional development, technology integration, and STEM academic domains. Despite this growth, Physical Education remained a peripheral research topic and was not yet strongly integrated into the global conceptual structure of STEM-PjBL research. Overlay visualization further indicated that studies linking STEM-PjBL, critical thinking, and Physical Education are still limited, highlighting an important research gap. Conclusion: This bibliometric study demonstrates that the integration of STEM-PjBL into Physical Education remains underdeveloped despite the rapid growth of STEM-PjBL research in other educational disciplines. The findings provide evidence of significant opportunities for future research to develop and evaluate contextual STEM-PjBL models that promote critical thinking through project-based physical activities and technology-supported learning. This study contributes to the understanding of current research trends and offers a strategic direction for advancing interdisciplinary innovation in Physical Education.

Abstract

Research Problems: The rapid advancement of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) has accelerated the integration of Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) technologies into sports training and performance analysis. However, existing research remains fragmented across diverse technological domains, limiting a comprehensive understanding of HRI's contributions to athlete development. Research Objectives: This study aimed to systematically review and synthesize the current evidence on the application of HRI in sports, focusing on its roles in performance enhancement, injury prevention, and training optimization. Methods: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Literature was retrieved from the Scopus database using predefined search strategies, yielding 158 records. After duplicate removal, screening, and eligibility assessment, 20 studies published between 2015 and 2026 met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. Results: The findings demonstrate that HRI technologies, including robotic training systems, wearable sensors, artificial intelligence, computer vision, and intelligent monitoring systems, significantly improve movement analysis, deliver personalised feedback, and facilitate adaptive training programs. Among the identified research themes, performance enhancement was the most extensively investigated, followed by training optimization and injury prevention. Nevertheless, the reviewed studies also revealed several important limitations, including small sample sizes, predominantly short-term experimental designs, the absence of standardized evaluation frameworks, and unresolved ethical issues related to athlete autonomy, biometric data privacy, and algorithmic bias. Conclusion: Present the main conclusions of the research and relate them to the research objectives. Overall, the evidence suggests that HRI represents a promising approach for advancing evidence-based sports training and athlete support. Future research should prioritize longitudinal, multidisciplinary, and ethically informed investigations to evaluate the long-term effectiveness, generalizability, and practical implementation of HRI technologies across diverse sports settings.

Abstract

Research Problems: Gross motor development, kinesthetics intelligence, and interpersonal intelligence are essential aspects of physical education learning in elementary schools. However, learning activities that are still dominated by conventional approaches often fail to provide active, enjoyable, and meaningful learning experiences, resulting in suboptimal development of these competencies. Research Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of traditional game-based learning in improving gross motor skills, kinesthetic intelligence, and interpersonal intelligence among elementary school students. Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-post-test control group design. The participants consisted of 34 students from Kajar 01 Elementary School, divided into an experimental group and a control group, each comprising 17 students. The experimental group received traditional game-based learning interventions through boi-boian and gobak sodor games over four sessions, while the control group participated in conventional learning activities. The research instruments included the Test of Gross Motor Development-3 (TGMD-3) to assess gross motor skills, as well as kinesthetic intelligence and interpersonal intelligence questionnaires. Data were analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, paired-sample t-tests, and independent-sample t-tests. Results: The findings revealed significant improvements in gross motor skills, kinesthetic intelligence, and interpersonal intelligence in both groups (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the independent-sample t-test results indicated significant differences between the experimental and control groups across all three variables (p < 0.05), with the experimental group achieving higher scores. Conclusion: These findings suggest that traditional game-based learning is more effective than conventional learning approaches in enhancing gross motor skills, kinesthetic intelligence, and interpersonal intelligence among elementary school students.

Abstract

Research Problems: Research on physical education teachers’ instructional skills has primarily focused on general teaching behaviors and has not specifically examined instructional monitor during classroom instruction. Research Objectives: This study aims to analyze the relationship between teachers’ instructional skills and the effectiveness of Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) learning in elementary schools. Methods: This study employed a quantitative correlational approach involving 17 PE teachers from 15 elementary schools in Surabaya, Sidoarjo, and Gresik selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a teacher instructional skills observation sheet and a Formative Class Evaluation (FCE) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using linear regression with a Percentile Bootstrap approach involving 1,000 resamples at a 95% confidence level. Results: The results showed that instructional monitor skills were significantly associated with motivation, teaching methods, and overall learning effectiveness (p < 0.05). In contrast, the skill of providing initial instructions was not significantly associated with any indicators of learning effectiveness. Conclusion: These findings indicate that the effectiveness of PJOK learning is more closely related to teachers’ ability to monitor learning activities, conduct active observations, and provide feedback throughout the learning process rather than merely delivering clear initial instructions. This study highlights the importance of developing instructional monitor competencies in PE teacher training programs to enhance student engagement and learning experiences.

Abstract

Research Problems: This study focuses on the existing paucity of knowledge on the physical elements, specifically agility and flexibility, that contribute to teenage football players' dribbling skills. This is a crucial problem to examine, since dribbling is a fundamental technical skill that significantly affects how players perform in dynamic game situations. Research Objectives: This study aims to explore the relationship between the dribbling abilities of U17 players at the Darul Amanah Football Academy and flexibility and agility, both separately and in combination. Methods: 30 athletes were selected via total sampling as part of the study's quantitative correlational design. Flexibility, agility, and dribbling skill tests were used to gather data. Descriptive statistics, prerequisite tests (normality, linearity, and multicollinearity), product-moment correlation, and multiple regression analyses were used for analysis. Results: The study's findings show that while agility has a significant association with a somewhat negative correlation (r = -0,586; p < 0,05), flexibility has no significant partial relationship with dribbling skills (r = 0,143; p > 0,05). Dribbling skills are strongly influenced by both flexibility and agility at the same time (R = 0,587; R² = 0,344), suggesting a dual, albeit non-dominant, effect. Conclusion: In summary, flexibility is a supporting factor, while agility is the main factor affecting dribbling skills. These results highlight the value of agility-based training for young athletes' development and offer coaches useful advice for creating training plans. Future studies should look at other elements like coordination, balance, and cognitive features to create a more complete model.
